“We’re weeks away from making an arrest. I’m only missing the last piece of the puzzle, and I can put this whole thing to bed.”

Kayla blew out a breath. “Conner, this is huge.”

“And I don’t want you getting caught in the middle of it. I don’t know what Andis wants with you. All I know is that it won’t be good. I’ll protect you if I can, but if you even suspect you’re in danger you call the sheriff. Understand?”

Kayla nodded. “Of course. I just...wish there was a way to help.”

Conner took two steps toward her. “I don’t want you anywhere near Andis.”

Being here with her, knowing that Kayla knew the truth of the man he’d been pretending to be for months, Conner felt right for the first time since...he didn’t know. Maybe since that night ten years ago when Kayla had been in trouble and he’d saved her from what that man had planned.
