Touching Darkness (2010)
“She had the overpowering urge to nibble her thumbnail, an old habit her father had hammered out of her long ago. Fonda, the other independent contractor in the program, stood, worry for her lover’s safety wracking her features. She could chew her nails all she wanted; she didn’t have a father who’d slap her hand and tell her how undignified it was.
Gerard’s phone rang, and he snapped it up. Olivia tensed as he listened to whoever was on the other end.
“All right.” He huffed a long, disappointed... breath she’d heard many times. “Come on back.”
As soon as he hung up, Fonda asked, “Is Jerryl all right?”
“He’s fine.” He met Olivia’s gaze. “The Rogues were there to rescue Nicholas. He was obviously in contact with them.”
The betrayal cut so deep, she realized she’d been holding out hope for some other explanation. The pain engulfed her like a tsunami, stealing away her breath. He had chosen lawlessness over her, just as her mother had chosen freedom. Nicholas had used her, and the worst part was, she’d misjudged him terribly.MoreLess
