Excerpt:
Neal placed a hand on Aleks’s shoulder. “You’ll stay at my place until we figure this out.”
Both Riley and Aleks looked at him at the same time.
He lifted his hands, palms out. “Do either of you have a better plan?”
“No, I’m in.” Aleks agreed all too quickly. She handed him one of her bags.
Riley pulled Neal aside. “Not a good idea, man. Cap won’t allow it.”
“It’s the perfect idea. If she won’t go into police protection, then I can keep an eye on her. I’m useless riding a desk. I’ll take the leave Cap keeps bugging me about, and I’ll be with her twenty-four-seven. Where she goes, I go, and I’ll keep you informed.”
“Still won’t fly. You have a personal relationship with her.”
Neal stared at his partner. He was right. But there was one way around the regulations. “Then it’s a good thing I’m officially her boyfriend. Cap can’t do anything about that.” Though what Kenzie would do—that was another matter. He’d just have to deal with that later. Keeping Aleks safe and catching the killer were the priorities.
Riley shook his head. “You’re serious, Hawk?”
“Dead serious.”
Aleks was watching the two of them like a cat tracking a mouse. She hadn’t said anything, but the gleam in her eyes told Neal that wouldn’t last. Was he making the mistake to end all mistakes? Too late now.
