New Year’s Eve
Lafayette, Louisiana
Amidst the revelers at Highrise, Nash Scott stood, beer in hand, a blonde
under his arm, getting ready to ring in the new year, when the hair on
the back of his neck rose. He stiffened. Goose bumps erupted across his
skin.
Someone had eyes on him.
He’d spent too many years dodging bullets and hunting terrorists in
third-world shit holes not to heed his instincts.
But this warning wasn’t about danger—unless it was to his heart.
“What’s wrong?” his older brother, Trees, demanded, scanning the
nightclub like a man who had spent his life taking down enemies for God
and country. He tucked Laila, his wife and the mother of his four children,
protectively against his side. Then his gaze snagged on something that made
him scowl. “Holy shit.”
The band announced they were taking a break. People chatted and
clinked glasses, brushing past Nash in the crowd. The activity hardly
registered. His earth stopped turning. His life stopped moving. His heart
stopped beating.
Without turning to see for himself, he sensed her. He swore he could
fucking hear her breathe. He inhaled her musky amber-rose scent he’d
know anywhere. His cock hardened to steel.
His date, Lissa, turned and searched the room before frowning blankly.
“What?”
Nash couldn’t respond to the blonde. “She’s really here?”
Trees nodded. “About twenty feet behind you. What do you want to
do?”
Was his brother asking if he wanted to leave? Hell no. Haisley Rowe
had left town two interminable years ago. So why had she shown up here?
Tonight? No clue. But he was staying to get some long-overdue answers.
He wasn’t desperate to touch her again. At all.
After nearly a year of…whatever their relationship had been, she had
left him with the briefest of goodbyes. No explanation, no fuck you. She’d
just…gone. He’d spent six celibate months vacillating between craving her
and hating her. The other year and a half, he’d tried to fuck her out of his
system—when he wasn’t staring like a schmuck at the engagement ring still
nestled in the velvet in the box he’d never had the chance to give her.
“Who are you talking about?” Lissa demanded.
The pretty blonde at his side was used to being pursued. There was
hardly a red-blooded man in Lafayette who didn’t want to nail her, and she
was notoriously choosy. But he hadn’t worked particularly hard to persuade
her to spend New Year’s Eve with him. Strike one.
He hadn’t taken her
somewhere fancy. Strike two. Now that another woman had stolen his
attention? He didn’t have to guess where that left him.
He didn’t give a shit.
Nash uncurled his arm from around her shoulders, swallowed back the
last of his beer, and tried to wire his shit tight.
