Lenora Worth - In Pursuit of a Princess

Gabriel could understand her need to keep working, to keep moving. He’d been on his own so long, he’d learned to never be afraid of anything, but right now he had a deep dread inside his heart. “So you’ll allow that something odd is going on. Someone is leaking information, Princess.”

He glanced up front. The driver headed across town and exited off one of the main thoroughfares. Deidre had her nose buried in her smartphone, her thumbs tapping, tapping some sort of message.

Lara’s gaze followed his. “Would you like to stay for dinner again tonight, Mr. Murdock?”

Gabriel couldn’t miss an opportunity to take more pictures and to keep a close eye on the princess. This mystery was growing by the minute. In spite of his better judgment, he had to find out what was going on. He had a story here. A real story. He’d walked away before and that had put him here. It was like déjà vu all over again.

He shot a glance toward the front. “I’d love that.”

“Good.” She looked up again. “I think we have a lot to discuss.”

He nodded, and wondered if the princess had finally seen the light and come to her senses. If so, maybe he could sit back and relax a little bit.

But in the next second, that notion changed. A boom hit the dusk and the SUV started spinning out of control.

“Tire just blew out,” the driver shouted. Deidre screamed and dropped her phone.

Gabriel grabbed Lara, his eyes locked with hers. “Hold on,” he said, pushing her down against the seat.

The impact of the crash set them both up and back down.

He was still holding Lara when the vehicle finally stopped spinning.
