Excerpt
Coming to my feet, I ran into the
vault and found myself at the bottom of what seemed like three floors. It was
filled with storage units, all next to each other. It reminded me of prison
cells, each of them with their own armored doors. I smelled more smoke coming
from above, so I ran up the first set of stairs and let my nose guide me. I saw
the figure trying to melt one of the armored doors, and I launched myself at
him. He was ready for me, though, so I found myself thrown across the room like
a ragdoll. I pretended to be injured as he approached me, and when he was close
enough, I kicked his feet from under him and he fell, hitting his head on the
concrete floor. I jumped on him and pinned his hands down just as he looked up
at me.
And there he was, Nick Logan. My
ex-husband.
I stared at the face I'd once
loved, now with a patch covering his left eye and scars running all the way
down his jaw. They were almost hidden under his days-old beard and wild, dark
hair. His deep hazel eye looked at me, empty, daring me to speak first. I
punched him.
