An alarm shrieked through the cold December night.
The loud deafening noise sounded like a banshee as Aidan Castle pulled
his Jeep into to the garage at the Double L Ranch.
He and Johnny Darrow, head of security at Castle Department Store,
had been in charge of setting up a state-of-the-art security system at the
secluded Fort Worth ranch owned by Nico Lamon and named after his
mother Lila Lamon.
Stepping out of the black Jeep, Aidan glanced around while he hurried
to check the alarm, the chilly night air hitting him with a zing. No one in
sight. The new system still needed some tweaking, so he might have
triggered something.
He’d reached the garage keypad to disarm it when the alarm stopped
and the night went silent.
His cell buzzed. The alarm company calling to check.
Aidan answered and identified himself. “I think I triggered something
when I opened the garage door. We’re still working out the kinks. I’ll call
back if I need you.”
He started inside, his hand on the doorknob into the hallway off the
back of the kitchen, when he heard a scream, followed by loud laughter.
Kids?
Or a woman, maybe?
Waiting a couple of beats, Aidan stayed still. Maybe he should have let
the alarm company send the sheriff out.
Glancing around, he looked for a weapon. All the guns were locked up
in the gun cabinet in Nico’s office inside the house.
When he spotted a big wrench lying on a worktable, he grabbed it.
Carefully opening the door, he silently slipped into the big, dark kitchen.
Nothing out of the ordinary there. Outside, the wind picked up. A winter
storm cloaked the night with threats of bad weather.
Aidan would worry about that later. Right now, he had to find out whom
or what had tripped that alarm.
Then he saw the empty champagne bottle on the counter and a
wineglass with a bright red lipstick stain on its rim.
Definitely a woman.
Okay. How to proceed?
Aidan moved from the kitchen to the big den across the hall, his Doc
Martens making very little noise, his eyes adjusting to the muted light.
He came around the tan leather sectional, the heavy wrench raised, and
stopped in a quiet skid. There, face-down on the couch like a fallen flower,
lay a woman wearing a wedding dress.
Aidan had never encountered anything like this, and he wasn’t in the
mood for games on this cold Wednesday night. Tired after a long day at the
site of the latest Castle endeavor, a high-tech digital and electronics store
located at a new tech complex not far from the ranch, he only wanted a
sandwich and some sleep.
The creature on the couch let out a soft moan that sounded like the last
of her sobs.
Putting the wrench down on a table, he walked over and stared at her.
She was breathing, her back moving against the pearls that glistened down
the high-necked sleeveless wedding dress. Dark copper-streaked hair
