Gavin pushed Lightning into a gallop, his breath coming in hard puffs as he quickly closed the distance between them. To be safe, he drew his weapon as he dismounted.

“Oh, sugar, I’m so sorry.” Gavin didn’t think of the years that had passed...of the turmoil when they’d broken up. Instead, acting on pure instinct, he drew her into his arms. She needed his comfort, and he was only too happy to hold her.
“This can’t be happening. Not really. Can it?” She suddenly grabbed Gavin’s arm. “The killer can’t get away with this. We have to go after him.”
