Lisa Harris - Sheltered By The Soldier

“You ready for this?” He turned off the motor, then glanced at her.

“Yeah.” She tugged on the end of her ponytail and nodded. “Let’s go.”

The yard in front of the one-story house had low maintenance ground cover and a few woody shrubs. Gabby rang the doorbell, then pulled her coat tighter around her. The sun was out, but the temperature had yet to climb out of the mid-thirties. A few seconds later, she rang the bell again.

“That’s strange. He said he’d be here.”

Liam glanced around the front of the house. There was no car in the drive, but Casada probably would have parked inside the garage. Nothing seemed off or out of place, but that didn’t erase the uneasiness he felt. If the man knew something, he was a potential target as well.

“Mr. Casada?” Gabby tried the handle. “Liam, the door’s open. Something’s wrong.”

He took a step forward. “Stay here.”

“Liam—”

He squeezed her hand, then slowly opened the door. “James? Is everything okay? It’s Liam O’Callaghan.”

No answer.

Something was definitely wrong.

“If my phone was tapped. If they knew I was coming...”

A second later, Liam caught movement and turned. A figure rushed at him from behind the front door, slamming something into the back of his head. Stars exploding behind his eyes, he pivoted and swung at his attacker. But he couldn’t fight the darkness sweeping through him as he collapsed onto the floor.
