Behind the Lies (A Montgomery Justice Novel)
“A hermit thrush trilled from the pines surrounding his cabin. Crickets chirped a farewell to Jenna as she left him standing alone in the night.
Zach glanced over his shoulder and sighed at the sway of her hips as she disappeared into his haven. He couldn’t deny the attraction. His entire body thrummed with want, but Jenna Walters wasn’t an affair kind of woman.
She was the forever kind.
Something he could never have. Even if he survived the next few days.
He leaned forward against the pine rail...s. Knots from the hand-carved wood pressed into his palms. The crispness of snow tickled his throat. He couldn’t see the peaks through the surrounding forest, but he could feel their snow-covered majesty. If they could only hide him from the world, he might very well follow Jenna back into the house and beg her to stay.
A week ago, he wouldn’t have doubted his next move; he would have called the Company. But the cut across his chest remained a grim reminder of betrayal on that airplane. Once he made a phone call, no matter how secure his connection, they’d track him eventually.MoreLess
