Do Not Disturb (2007)
Do Not Disturb
“Through half-closed eyes she watched a gathering of retreatants, led by Judd, pretzel themselves through a succession of tai chi moves. She was a single boredom straw away from joining them.
She should have left for San Francisco when she’d had the chance. Instead, she’d let Cooper goad her into staying.
No, no. That wasn’t right. He hadn’t goaded her, she thought, twisting her head to follow as a thirty-something woman struck a pose that looked not only uncomfortable, but downright dangerous. ...He hadn’t wanted Angel to stay and he’d tried to scare her away with talk of sex.
That had goaded her into staying. The fact that he’d tried to scare her into leaving.
She wasn’t afraid of anything and it was time he figured that out. The bogeyman had stepped out of her nightmares and into her waking world twenty years ago. She’d dealt then. She’d deal now.
Then, as if thinking of a monster had called one up, a shadow fell across Angel. It took a mere instant to recognize the long, muscled legs of Cooper Jones.MoreLess
