She thought about the irony if spring,the clash of cold leftover from winter with the warmth from the promise of summer. She thought about how their interaction caused powerful Stroms___stroms bug enough to produce tornadoes that could devastate an entire town. Richard was cold___ he'd tried to keep her in his icy grip. And Colin was the opposite.
The thought of those systems crashing into each other,the fallout that would follow,took her breath away. The more Melissa had listened to plans to take down Richard,the more tension had tightened her shoulder blades. Her life with Richard had been like living in an Arctic cave. Colin was the sun__the promise if warmth and sunshine and better days. The wind beneath her weak wings.
Both if those lives were about to clash .
The O'Briens had brought plenty of ammunition to the fight. So would

SO, rather than risk leaving her vulnerable he would go along with the plan he and his brothers had developed last night. He would stay the course. The plan they'd come up with was the best they had to work with under the circumstances. Austin had set up in an adjacent cabin with his attention directed towards the decoy boy cabin. He was visible enough that Rancic night believe he was there to protect Melissa. Colin's job was to set up at the rifle/sleeping bag location and Tyler was situated under the outdoor pavilion. Again,his attention was set to the cabin. Inside,they'd stuffed blankets on a lower bunk in the corner of the room to make it look like the shape of a woman. In reality,the only woman on the campus was in the souvenir shop ticked behind the counter sleeping.

Richard made to knock Colin off him. Colin fisted his hand and belted Richard. His jaw snapped right and he spit blood. Colin could hear footsteps thundering from behind and voices that he recongnized as his brothers'. He listened for the sweet sounds of Melissa's voice and tensed when he didn't hear it. He refused to give Rancic the satisfaction of seeing his fear."You're about to be arrested and face your crimes. Know this. If you or anyone you know ever messes with my family again from either side of the bare that you're about to send a very long time getting to know,there won't be place in Earth you can hide from me".

"He's asking for you", Philip said, motioning for her to follow him. She glanced at his brothers as she hurried behind Philip. It had to be a good sign that he was talking. She'd take what she could get. Melissa had expected to feel differently as he watched the cruiser pull away with Richard in the back. She'd thought she'd feel lighter somehow. Except that she didn't. Not while Colin lay on a stretcher being worked on by two EMTs. Her life had blown up before her eyes. She knew that Colin could never truely trust her again, but she loved him with all her heart and had to be okay. "You were so cold", she said, her chest squeezing at seeing him on that stretcher,wrapped in thick blankets. "I'll be warmer if you'll slip under the covers with me", he said with that wry grin that was so charming. His gaze fixed on a spot behind her. &nbs

"I didn't approve her. I would never do that. She shouldn't be here". Cynthia Stoker,the cattleman Crime club's event coordinator,paced in the kitchen. Her fingers were a braided knot. She was responsible for the guest list at the spring fling, the annual end-of-spring fund-raiser hosted by the O'Brien family. "I know". Colin O'Brien folded his arms,hiding just how much the thought of seeing Melissa Roark__correction, Melissa Rancic__again twisted his gut. Being the fourth son of the wealthy O'Brien family and with good looks and charm to spare,he hadn't seen a lot of rejection in his life. Until her. And she'd ripped his heart out. "How'd her name get past security?' "She asked to come as Carolina Jordan's plus one,and since she wasn't listed as a threat they approved her", Cynthia said,throwing her hands in the air, worry lines bracketing her mouth. She'd worked at the ra

A sob escaped before she could suppress it. Her eyes blurred as she navigated onto the main road into town. At least she had their daughter. She'd have to hold onto that piece of Colin for the rest of her life and let it be enough. Angelina touched a piece of Melissa's heart that could belong to no one else. She thought about how unfair it was that her daughter had never met her father,would never meet him. But then,this was the way it had to be,she reminded herself. Melissa's father was old and sick. He'd made him mistakes and they were both paying for them. If Richard had followed through on his threats,her father would live out the rest of his life in jail. She couldn't allow that to happen no matter how angry she'd become at him for his unethical business practices. And then there were the threats Richard had made about Colin and his family. The man could destroy the O'Briens if their secret was revealed. The bedrock of the family had been their parents' unw

The feds had said that Richard should be somewhere near the Canadian border by now. Melissa had been under so much duress especially in the past months since talking with the agents,that she could barely think straight. She told herself that was the reason she'd been misguided enough to think seeing Colin one more time would somehow fill the ache in her chest. Everything had spun out of control. Her relationship with the feds hadn't exactly been a friendly alliance . The only reason she'd collected evidence against Richard was because they threatened to take Angelina away from her. Ever since they'd approached her while she picked up the mail that cold January morning. She'd been walking a tightrope. Richard had been good at covering his tracks ,so culling evidence against him had been difficult. She'd eventually gathered the proof needed for the feds to get an arrest warrant. She'd risked her life,not to mention her daughte

Melissa opened her eyes , slowly,and it was like the sun cresting in the horizon. Those violet streaks like rays,bathing darkness with light. His heart clenched and his muscles corded as her hands came up to his chest. He expected a jab or for her to push him away,but instead she double fisted his shirt and tugged him toward her. All rationale flew out of the window as Colin's pulse kicked up a few notches. He shouldn't want to dip deep and claim her heart-shaped pink lips again. He shouldn't want to pull her body flush with his. He shouldn't want to get lost inside her. And that's where he stopped. Because he could never trust her enough to close his eyes again. He pulled back,a little stunned at how easy it was to get trapped in old habits. How many times had they been in a similar position?

" I REMEMBER THIS PLACE", Joshua said to Colin as he studied the area from the center point, the fire pit. "We were kids the last time we were here", Colin said. "Not too much has changed".Colin hadn't been sure what kind of reaction Melissa would get from his brothers and was grateful they'd welcomed her with open arms. He had a lot of catching up to do with them. Hell,first he needed to figure out his and Melissa's relationship for himself. All he knew was that he wanted her in his life. The details of what that meant would have to come later. "That's a good thing", Joshua said. "We don't have much sun left. I'll want to walk the perimeter before it gets dark". "Someone followed us most of the way here. We let him believe we didn't know". Austin said. "Lost him as we got close by cutting through Denver. Joshua had worked for Denver PD be

"Stay low", Colin said to Melissa as he saw an occasional flash of light as a vehicle twisted and turned along the road leading to the camp. He'd already heard the Jeep's engine as it wound up the road. The horn honked twice. Then, nothing for two beats before a third beep sounded. "They're here". Colin pooped to his feet before offering a hand up to Melissa. She accepted the help and then he held on to one of her hands as they walked to the Jeep.Colin let go long enough to embrace his brothers, Joshua and Austin. "Where's Tyler?"Joshua must've seen the panic in Melissa's eyes because he said, "Angelina is doing great and she's safe on the ranch"."Thank you", Melissa said."As for Tyler, he's hanging around at the camp entrance. Ryder stayed back to care for his pregnant wife and offer reinforcements at the ranch". Joshua help up his cell phone. "We'

WHETHER HE LIKED it or not,Colin had a shadow. Based on the wat he stopped every once in a while to pull her into an embrace or plant a sweet kiss on her lips, Melissa didn't think he minded. Her heart wanted to believe that what was happening between then was real again,that it was something they could build on."You should probably try to get some rest before my brothers arrive", he said. "There's no telling when Richard will show now that my brothers have our out word". "What about law enforcement?" She asked."We'll get all that information when my brothers arrive,which should be soon", he said."It makes me nervous that we haven't been able to make contact with them", she said."They won't find if it's not safe", colin said, setting up a sleeping bag and a rifle in the woods near the campsite.

He'd returned his steps several times,memorizing every tree,every possible escape route,and every potential hazard. There was a pond on the far Eastside of the site. A creek cut across the property in a bear straight line, running North to south. Just below camp,it pooled into a sizable swimming hole. Colin remembered the bright orange vests counselors had strapped on then before allowing them time in the water. A set of tepees clustered on the west side of camp. The camp was straight forward,a throwback to simpler days. Or maybe it just seemed simple when all Colin had had to think about was keeping the twins out of trouble. The older he got,the more he was beginning to realize that life got a lot more complicated with age. He needed to
