Jayden and I rushed to Gray’s restaurant in his car. As he parked behind the restaurant, we heard Amy sob through the open kitchen door.“Stay back and let me go in first,” Jayden ordered. I knew it was for the best, so I obeyed.But soon after going inside, Jayden motioned for me to follow. I stepped through the doorway and couldn’t believe what I saw.Mr. Gray’s kitchen had been trashed. The floor was covered with broken plates and glasses mixed with silverware, canned goods, and smashed vegetables.The microwave had been knocked to the floor, the door hanging crookedly, and the prep table was lying on its side.Where was Amy?I spotted her crouched near the dishwasher and went to her. “Amy, what happened?”“There were two of them, Daisy,” she sobbed. “Two red wolves were here, and they tried to hurt me. But Dad stepped in and tried to fight them off.”She sobbed hysterically again. “Dad is hurt. Help him.”I didn’t see any blood or wounds on Amy, so I stood and looked for Mr. Gray.

Nothing was showing on the security cameras. ‘Error!’ flashed across the screens when he tried to access recorded footage.Victor ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “Somebody overrode the system. We can’t trust it until I get somebody here to check it out.”“That sounds like the tech-savvy car thieves who took Amy’s Mercedes.” I walked over and put my arms around him. “Was somebody in the garage?”“I’d bet on it,” he replied. “We shouldn’t drive our cars until they are checked out.”“I apologize for bringing this problem into your life,” I said. “And I’m sorry for what happened at Gray’s restaurant last night. I’m afraid the only way to fix it is to help get the intruders locked up.”Victor put his arms around me and kissed my temples. “I should have helped you from the beginning of your investigation. I never thought you would get close enough to the murderer to set them off like this.”I nuzzled his throat. “That sounds like a compliment.”He laughed. “It was, but now you m

We arrived at the hospital at the end of visiting hours, but Victor told Amy and Justin to stay while he and Jayden spoke with hospital staff in the hall outside of Mr. Gray’s room. Mr. Gray and Justin eyed Moose and Bert with curiosity while Amy giggled.My security team was in professional guard mode. They stood, ready to defend us, on either side of the door, and everyone felt safer.They allowed Victor and Jayden to enter the room when they were finished in the hallway, but they stopped the two men with him until Victor told them it was okay for them to come into the room.“This is Dr. Knef and Marco Toro, the hospital’s head of security,” Victor told us. “Mr. Toro told us the red wolves were confronted by another doctor when they entered this floor. He was badly mauled.”“Will he live?” Mr. Gray asked. His voice was stronger than I expected, even though he looked exhausted.“Yes,” Dr. Knef said. “He was lucky. The attack was interrupted when a nurse saw what was happening and cal

“Let’s take our dessert out onto the deck,” Victor said when we entered the master bedroom. “And let’s get comfortable.”He began to undress while I slipped into the bathroom to remove my clothing before donning a bathrobe.When I came out of the bathroom, Victor stood on the deck in his boxer briefs. His body was incredible. The way each powerful muscle was visible beneath his skin took my breath away.I walked up to him and put my arms around his lean waist. “So, what’s for dessert?”“Tiny wild strawberries and whipped cream,” he said. “Have a seat, and I’ll serve you. You’ll love it.”I sat on a deck chair while he opened the bag and took out a bottle of champagne, two crystal flutes, and two bowls.He poured the champagne and handed me a glass before uncovering the contents of the bowls.The strawberries were tiny, no larger than the tip of my thumb, and they were a deep red. Victor dipped one into the fresh whipped cream and held it close to my lips.I opened my mouth and accepte

When we arrived at the restaurant that evening, Gray’s wasn’t as full as usual, but there was still a crowd eager to enjoy Chef Gray’s delicious recipes.Our reserved table near the artificial waterfall was ready, and the hostess seated us immediately.Like the carpeting and silk wallpaper, the waterfall was new. Before the attack, Mr. Gray had made many new improvements to the decor and added skilled staff.“This seems like a nice place,” Penny said. It was obvious that she was nervous, but I could understand her discomfort.“Wait until you taste the food,” William told her. “It’s fantastic. And I want you to meet Amy and her boyfriend, Justin, as soon as they return to Denhurst.”“They want to return before the new term starts at the city college,” I said. “Amy and Justin are enrolled there.”“I thought she was applying at the same colleges as you,” William said. “Did she change her mind to be with Justin? With his family connections, he could get into any school he wants.”I kept m
