~ Dedication ~
To Georgia, A wonderful editor who has
helped me not only with polishing up my story, but who has prepared
me if I ever have to enter the Witness Protection Program.
Chapter One
The black Hummer seemed to
crawl up the winding mountain road at a snail’s pace. Josie leaned
her head back against the seat and stared out the window at the
same scene she’d studied for the last several hours. Sheesh, how long does it take to get to this
highly secretive place?
They’d been driving since before sunrise,
and every time she'd asked Donovan how much longer it would be,
he’d turned away from her and muttered without giving her a
straight answer. Blowing the bangs out of her eyes, she pushed the
control to lower the window. She sighed with relief as the flow of
cooler mountain air blasted her face. The tension between Donovan
and her was enough to suffocate her.
“Put the window up. The glass is blacked out
for a reason. We can’t take any chances.” He waited two seconds,
and when she didn’t immediately roll her window up, he pushed the
control button on the door himself. “Look, Marie—”
“Josie. My name is Josie.” She snorted.
“Agent D.”
“Not anymore, it isn’t.” He turned up the
air conditioner, glanced over at her, and then turned his attention
back to the road. “The trial is a week away. You can go back to
your life, your own name, and forget about everything you’ve had
to…suffer through. In the meantime, you’ll not take any unnecessary
risks, and I’d appreciate it if you’d follow the rules.”
Turning her face away from
him, she blinked to dispel the sudden rush of tears clouding her
vision. She didn’t want to go back to having no job, no life…no
Donovan. Damn him.
“Marie…” He placed his
hand on her thigh. “I know it’s hard, but this is for the best.”
She refused to look at him, but nodded. Her
leaving and never looking back might be what he wanted, but all
these months of just the two of them depending on each other
