Worth The Risk. Melinda Di Lorenzo

Чтение книги онлайн.

      “If I’m scared, I face it so I can move forward. When following leads, I make note of every single detail in hopes that one of them will go somewhere. Because all I need is one. And the emotional detachment… I fight every natural urge.”

      “Does it work?”

      The question hung between them, weighted and dangerous. Sam knew that if he answered with a reference to his past, he’d be giving something away. If he answered in the moment… Well. He might give away even more.

      “Not always,” he said, carefully neutral.

      Meredith didn’t let him get away with it. “And what would happen if it didn’t work?”

      “It would make the job harder. Riskier. Because hearts are at stake as well as lives.”

      “Has it happened to you?”

      Those green eyes of hers held him, and he knew he couldn’t lie, even if he wanted to. “Once before.” He reached up to smooth back a strand of her blond hair. “And now once again.”

      A blush crept up her throat. “Is it worth it? Risking your heart?”

      “You tell me.”

Dear Reader,

      The inspiration for the opening scene of Worth the Risk came from my own life. I was lying in bed, not quite awake—on one of those rare mornings when my kids let me sleep past 7:00 a.m.—when a knock came on my front door. I debated whether or not to answer it, mostly because I dreaded getting out of my cozy blankets. Of course, in the end, I couldn’t ignore it. I worried that it might be something or someone important. I answered, and it was just a kid from a local business, dropping off flyers.

      As I crawled back into bed after, my imagination started building an alternate scenario for who could have been at the door. A mysterious figure? The bearer of bad news? And from that, private investigator Samuel Potter was born…

      I hope you enjoy the twists of Worth the Risk, which all starts with an unexpected knock on Meredith Jamison’s front door.
