She’d been kidnapped.

A figure in fatigues leaped out of the car and ran after her. A mask covered his face. There was a gun in his hand.

Her body smacked hard against the hood of a truck.

She gasped. The vehicle was nothing more than a gray shape in the darkness and had seemed to come out of nowhere. The driver’s face was hidden in the darkness and distorted by water pounding off the windshield. She spun on her heels.

“Olivia!” a deep voice yelled. “This way.”

She stumbled. A strong arm grabbed her around the waist and nearly hoisted her feet off the ground. She opened her mouth to scream. A hand clasped over her mouth. “It’s me, Daniel. It’s okay. Just get in the truck.” He half steered and half pulled her toward the passenger door.

Daniel? The complicated and moody man who’d told her never to contact him again?

“Untie me. Now. And take me back to the diner.”

“I can’t. Sorry. Just get in. I’ll explain when we’re out of here.”
