Romans & histoires Colleen Hoover Romantic Thriller

***Julian Bourbon sloshed the bottom of my glass and I threw back a shot as Fiona curled up on the floor in front of the fireplace, teetering among the shelves of books. I sat in the armchair next to her, trying to focus on the novel in front of me. But the task was impossible with her so close. The very thought of someone trying to hurt her, to take her away, had me on edge. I just wanted to protect her… to hold her close. I clenched my fist, straining against the urge to pick her up and throw her onto my bed.

The longer I thought about it, the heavier my chest felt. Julian’s words kept circling in my head, Colleen Benedict. I still couldn’t believe that’s who he had gone to. That he’d actually brought one of them in, one of the Benedicts. It wasn’t just reckless, it was dangerous. And for all the confidence Julian had in him, I couldn’t shake the image of Colleen’s smirk. It lingered in a way that made me feel that he already knew too much.

“I’ve got your back. Nothing’s going to happen to you. Just answer their questions as best as you can.” “Why are you even here?” Hatchett asked. Colleen’s eyes darted to me, and I placed a hand on her shoulder, ensuring her she wasn’t alone. “I came to Moon Valley on an assignment,” Colleen said. “But I already told Ciara and Cillian this.” “And who sent you?” Hatchett continued. “A guy by the name of Shiro Kenji. He paid me a five-year salary to move here.” “Why did he hire you?” Torque asked.

“You two from out of town?” “Just visiting,” Cole said smoothly. “Honeymoon trip." he criss cross our hands and place it on his cheeks like a romantic husband "My wife got mad that i didn't give her time so we come here to enjoy ourselves." "What a great smooth lie" i mumbled. Cole heard me and chuckled. The woman grinned at me. “You caught a good one, honey. He looks like the type who’d fight a bear for you.” I laughed. “Oh, I’m sure he’d negotiate first.”
