A CHILD’S LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY
Texas Ranger Jake Cavanaugh will do anything to rescue his kidnapped daughter from the clutches of a killer. And that means turning to Ella Terrell—his high school sweetheart—for help. The former FBI agent is lucky to be alive after her own encounter with the vengeful madman. And now history seems to be repeating itself this holiday season. Ella needs time to sort through the past—yet time is a luxury they don’t have. For the kidnapper is taunting them with misleading clues and a ticking clock. But Ella will bring Jake’s child home at all costs—even at the risk of losing her heart and her life….
“I’m here to stay.”
“It’s too dangerous for you,” Jake said, fatigue and defeat in his tone. “I’m sorry, but I have to keep you safe.”
“I understand you’re a worried father and you’re hurting because you feel so helpless. But you got me involved, and I’m the only one who can draw this killer out. Let me do that, Jake.”
He fisted his hands, his hard-edged expression reminding her of a wall of rock. Hard to reach, hard to handle, but so easy to love.
“Jake…”
He looked at her, and she saw it all in his eyes. The need, the fear, the regret and the longing.
He let out a deep breath. “I’ve got to find her, Ella. I can’t rest till I do.”
“Yes, you can,” she replied. “You’ll rest while I take over for you.”
“And when will you rest?”
“After we find your daughter…and get this madman. Or I die trying.”
He touched her cheek. “And that’s what scares me the most.”
