“When did you get this?”

Becki caught Josh’s arm long enough to get a look at the note. “It was in the mailbox when I got here. Courtesy of my sister.”

Josh frowned. “Why would she say you don’t belong here?”

“Because if I sell, she thinks she’ll get more money.”

“Who else knew you were moving in today?”

“I don’t know.” Becki rubbed her worsening headache. “My boss, my roommate, my mom.”

“No one from around here?”

“Not that I know of. Like I told my sister, I’m here to stay.”

Josh sat beside Becki on the sofa, and her heart jumped at the touch of his knee. “Who else might have sent this note?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean…who didn’t want you moving here badly enough to attack you?”

She dug her fingers into the seat cushion. “You think the note and the incident in the barn are connected?”

Obviously he did. Which meant whoever was slinking around the property had been expecting her.
