RETURN TO ME

  “Shea did the right thing by marrying Cole. But that’s beside the point. Give me what you know.”

  “First I have to have your agreement on something.”

  “What?”

  “Noah wants you to find her. If she’s turned, you’re to bring her in. If she’s in trouble, he wants her rescued.”

  “Why me?”

  “Says you’re the only one who’d be able to determine if Shea has truly turned.”

  Crossing the room, Ethan slumped into a chair across from Gabe. Noah McCall had fired his ass for very valid reasons. He didn’t blame him. Besides, he owed Noah his sanity and his life. The man knew he’d do almost anything for him. But this was Shea. And Noah knew Ethan would slay dragons and fight an army for the woman he’d once loved and lost. Yeah, McCall was right on the money to ask him to go in. No one had more to lose than Ethan if something happened to Shea.

  He owed Shea Monroe a whole lot … more than he could ever repay. After all, not only had he broken her heart and crushed her spirit, he’d also gotten her husband killed.

  Return to Me is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
