Summer Rain (Lightning Strikes Book 3)

by Barbara Freethy


  Until now...

  The light in the window shocked her so much she blinked twice to make sure it was real. With shaky hands, she steered into a nearby parking spot and shut off the engine, her heart beating double-time. Nick was back. He was home. She was going to see him tonight, get the answers to her questions. So why couldn’t she move? Why was she frozen with fear?

  She shouldn’t be scared. She should be angry, furious. She should go up there and give him a piece of her mind.

  That was exactly what she would do.

  Throwing her shoulders back, she stepped out of the car and walked across the street and up the stairs to the front door. Her knock brought the sound of heavy footsteps. She was afraid to breathe.

  The door opened abruptly and a man stood before her.

  “Who are you?” she asked in shock. This wasn’t Nick. It was a stranger -- a man who towered over her five-foot-four-inch frame by at least ten inches. He had dark hair and the most piercing green eyes she’d ever seen. She took a step back, feeling an instinctive need to defend herself -- against what, she didn’t know. “Who are you?” she repeated.

  “I’m Nick Granville.”
