They were hit with a blunt object to the head. It’s effective but messy—and makes many people ask many questions. I’m going to say this was done by someone who knew them, and to the killer it was very emotional, it was personal. It might have been a way to flush you out or let you know you can’t hide.” Val shivered. “At least when the threat was from a guy I was dating, I knew where it came from. No looking over my shoulder and wondering.” “Hey,” Wyatt said softly. He stood and moved closer to Val, took his hand, and pulled him out of the chair. “If they wanted in, they would have gotten in, but they didn’t. I’ve been dealing with this sort of crap, in one job or another, since I left college. You’ll be safe, I promise.” “How can you be so sure?” Wyatt took Val’s face in his hands and kissed him before saying “Because I intend to keep you that way.” He kissed Val again, with more urgency and intensity this time. “Now, I know you were looking at some items online, and I had some time to kill—no pun intended.” Val laughed and relaxed against Wyatt. “Yeah?” “Yeah. I found a store full of the most delightful goodies to poke around in while I was waiting to go to the airport.” “I’m guessing you don’t mean pastry?” Wyatt grinned and laughed softly. “Oh, hell no.” Run for the Roses is available in eBook, paperback and through Kindle Unlimited.
