Wolfe Wanting
“The razor-edged sound of Royce's voice, overlapping a sharply delivered rapping against the front door, pierced the fear-induced trance holding Megan's mind captive.

“I'm...I'm trying!” Megan heaved a sigh of relief as the lock gave way. Cranking the knob, she stepped back and pulled the door open.
This time, she did not fling herself against him.MoreLess
