I hate meetings—I especially hate meetings with men I’ve never met before. But to get what I want, I need to put my faith in a stranger. If Austin is lying to me and this is another trap, I’ve come prepared. “All right,” I say to Ron as I conceal my gun into the small of my back. “Ya stay out here unless ye hear trouble. And in that case, you come in, and shoot first, ask questions later.” Ron nods firmly. He has the pub, Lucky Leaf, where Austin organized for us to meet, surrounded. But we’ve come to learn that no matter how prepared we are, things can change in the blink of an eye…which is why Cami is here. Bad things happen when we’re apart, and as much as I don’t want to put her in harm’s way, being by my side is the safest place to be. Besides, this is as much her fight as it is
