Tempted By a Seal
“Luckily, she didn’t have to. The bed shifted and she heard Mack say softly, “MacIntyre.”
The noise must have been his cell phone vibrating on the nightstand.

Who could be calling Mack before sunrise? His father? Was something wrong with either his dad or her mom?
Wide awake now, Lydia rolled over to try and hear better, but Mack had already gotten out of bed and was heading for the door of the bedroom.
“Is everything all right?” she asked.
He glanced back and pressed the phone against his bare chest. “Fine. Go back to sleep.”
