Protected by the Ranchers

I sort everything I’m afraid of into columns. It’s how a forensic accountant stays alive.

Then the audit I ran at my own firm turned into eleven laundered millions and a man named Culver who wants me gone before I testify. Four safehouses failed me. The fifth is a working cattle ranch in the middle of Texas, and the three men who run it don’t guard people for money.

Harry flirts like it’s a reflex and shoots like it isn’t. Ivan is a wall I keep wanting to lean on. Zach reads a threat in one glance, and the threat he can’t file away is me.

They think I’m a package to deliver to a courtroom. I’m not. I’m the reason there’s a case at all, and I’ll fight for it beside them.

Wanting one of them would be reckless. Wanting all three is the most dangerous thing I’ve done since I started running.

Culver’s coming. This time, I’m not facing him alone.
