Gene Redhouse believes in signs. But when Lori Baker literally jumps into his life, the Navajo wisdom he's learned disappears. Lori is being stalked and she's never been so frightened, or so alone. Although it seems they belong to different worlds, the connection between them is instant and intense. And if he can keep her alive long enough, he vows to explore every inch of her.â ¦ With his chiseled features and powerful build, Gene is the safe harbor in Lori's stormy sea. And yet with her past weighing her down, Lori must decide which is more dangerous: the stranger trailing her every step, or the one daring her to trust him.

As he pulled into the DMV’s parking lot, he saw it was already crowded. “Go in through the front like a customer. Don’t use the employee entrance.” “Got it.” Gene parked and watched her

My user name will be considered compromised, too, which will shut me out, as well.” “So the mass attack won’t work,” Gene said, “but we can still play a
