Read an Excerpt
Dax was washing the pumper truck when his cell phone buzzed in his pocket. He tossed the sponge in the bucket beside him and pulled out the phone.
His hands were wet enough it slipped and plopped right into the bucket of water.
“Damn it!” He fished it out quick and wiped it on his already-soaked jeans. The phone made a strangled sound as it rang again. He pushed the answer button. “Hello?”
Static and a few snippets of a female voice crackled through.
“Hannah, that you?”
“Soph—stuck—fire—”
The phone went dead.
His heart picked up speed. He tried to call back but the screen on his phone flashed and then it shut itself off. That had been definitely Sophie and she sounded distressed.
Dax didn’t hesitate. He ran back into the fire station. Two other firefighters were there playing cards. He grabbed his keys from the hook on the wall.
“Gotta go. Finish the pumper, wouldja?” He didn’t wait for a response although he heard them curse at him. They took turns washing the pumper and it was his job that week. If Sophie called him for help, that was serious. She had been radio silent for five years and wouldn’t contact him unless it was an emergency.
He yanked open his truck door and tore out of the parking lot, leaving behind more rubber than he’d done in years. A few horns greeted his quick turn onto the main road. His cousin Kyle, a deputy sheriff, sat at the corner in his squad car. He flipped on his lights and popped the siren for a split second. More than likely Dax would hear all about the ticket he didn’t get the next time he saw Kyle.
Screw it. He raced back toward the other end of town. The traffic had started to pick up a little considering it was after five in the afternoon. Not that there was much of a rush hour in Tanger, but there was something like it. Enough to slow him down when he was in a hurry.
He honked and swerved around cars as he could. A few middle fingers and one shrieking old lady greeted him. He racked up a great deal of infractions that he would hear about for the next twenty years or so. One of the disadvantages to living in a small town was that everyone knew everyone else’s business.
Given that he was a Blackwood, people had expectations he had failed to live up to. He was popular in high school but he didn’t go to college, no matter how smart he was or wasn’t. Instead he chose to take over the family ranch and make his living with his hands. People judge, as they often do, but he didn’t care. He made the choice that was the right one in his heart and he’d never regretted it.
As he tore around the corner half a mile from the restaurant, the back end of the truck fishtailed but he corrected the slide. He spotted the little blue car Sophie had driven up in still sitting in the same spot.
Dax didn’t see her anywhere. He jumped out of the truck as soon as he slammed it into Park. His hat flew off and landed in the dirt beside the front tire.
“Sophie?” He jogged around the truck to find the car empty. His breath huffed in and out to accompany his racing heart. Where the hell was she?
He continued his search around the smoldering wreckage of the restaurant. Her small boot prints were around the perimeter, but he saw none in the middle where things were still dangerous. The second floor hadn’t collapsed completely.
He cupped his hands around his mouth. “Sophie!”
“Why are you shouting?”
Her voice made him jump a foot in the air. “Son of a bitch!” He blinked at the sight of her, unsure if he was relieved or annoyed. Definitely not aroused. She was sweaty, sooty and her beautiful hair lay in limp lumps.
“What happened to you? You called me but my phone cut out. You said it was an emergency and a fire.” He sounded breathless and ridiculous. What the hell was wrong with him?
She frowned. “I said my car wouldn’t start. It wasn’t an emergency and I was still at the site of the fire. I was hoping for a ride to the fire station so I didn’t have to walk.”
Well, didn’t he feel like an idiot.
He also looked like an idiot.
“Jesus, I thought you were in trouble.”
She gestured to her car. “Technically I am in trouble. Or at least my car is.”
“Where were you when I got here?” His voice was sharper than he intended.
“Hiding in the shade of the tree hoping you’d show up so I wouldn’t have to stay in Tanger tonight. I need those receipts and serial numbers to finish my report.”
Her words were like a slap. She didn’t want him. She wanted his truck and to escape from his presence before the clock struck midnight. That was a wake-up call he couldn’t ignore. Why had he rushed to her? He didn’t want to know the answer. It was a mistake. That was obvious.
He huffed out a breath. “Then get in the truck and let’s go.” He scooped up his hat and pushed it onto his head so hard he scratched his ears.
She followed him without a word and soon they were buckling their seatbelts. When he started the truck, she put her hand in front of the air vent.
“There’s no A/C, princess.” He was pleased to see her snatch her hand back. “That’s why the windows are down.”
“I can’t believe you’re still driving this piece of shit.” She adjusted the messenger bag she’d put on the seat beside her.
“Language, Miss Evans. Ladies don’t cuss.”
“Women cuss. I’d much rather be a woman than a lady.” She closed her eyes as the air rushed in through the windows. Her hair flew like streamers toward him, not long enough to reach him but enough to distract him.
He didn’t like feeling out of control. Being the fire chief meant he was in charge. Owning a ranch also meant he was in charge. Being investigated by an insurance company, by his ex-girlfriend no less, made him uncomfortable because he had no control. Sophie was in charge.
He didn’t like that. Not even a little.
