Thunder Trueno hadn't seen Carrie Lipton, his ex-wife, in twenty years. Not that it should matter after all this time. They'd been kids then, high school sweethearts, eighteen-year-olds who'd got married because of the baby. A baby that had never been. A miscarriage, he thought. His child. Her child. Their child. He frowned at the brick walkway that led to Carrie's door. She lived in a condominium that was located in the same desert town where they'd grown up. TheArizona land was vast and plentiful, with scattered ranches and pockets of suburban neighborhoods. Thunder lived in Los Angeles now. He'd made a life for himself that didn't include the past. Of course he came back every so often to visit his family, but he'd never contacted his ex-wife. Not until today. Still frowning, he rang the bell. He'd called ahead to let her know that he was stopping by, that he wanted to interview her about a case he was working on that involved a missing woman. Thunder co-owned SPEC, a company that offered a variety of personal protection and investigative services. Their conversation had been awkward, to say the least. She'd been shocked to hear from him. When a man opened the door, Thunder's scowl deepened. Who the hell was he? Carrie wasn't married. Nor did she have a live-in lover. Thunder knew because he'd flat-out asked her when they'd spoken, albeit briefly, over the phone. He'd wanted to be prepared, to know what to expect. He didn't like surprises. Yet here was some guy in her doorway. He was as tall as Thunder, but with sandy-colored hair, blue eyes and a lanky build. Aside from their height, the two men didn't look anything alike. Thunder was a full-blood from the White Mountain Apache Nation, with eyes almost as black as his hair. The other man was as Anglo as Anglo could be. He was dressed in business attire, but his tie was undone, an indication that he'd got cozy in Carrie's condo. Thunder knew he shouldn't care. Carrie wasn't his to care about anymore. Still, he wanted to knock Mr. Cozy straight on his ass. "Where's Carrie?" Thunder asked, not bothering to introduce himself. Cozy didn't reveal his name, either. But he wasn't territorial, at least not in a tense way. His response was easy. "She had to run to the market. She'll be back soon." Thunder didn't say anything. He'd arrived a little early. But the other man didn't seem to mind. His relaxed demeanor annoyed Thunder even more. "You must be the ex-husband," Cozy said. "Carrie told me about you." Thunder struggled to keep his attitude in check, to not let his frustration show. "She didn't mention you." Cozy remained unaffected. "We haven't been going out that long." Before Cozy could invite him inside, footsteps sounded on the walkway. Thunder turned around, sensing it was Carrie. The girl who'd panicked when she'd found out she was pregnant. The same girl who'd cried when she'd lost the baby. He wondered if she'd told Cozy about t Fiction Fiction eBook, Silhouette<
