Ever since he set her up in his guest house, she seemed to stick to the shadows, always preferring darkness to light, like she was a vampire or something.
The mere thought was ridiculous. Of course, she wasn’t a mythical blood lusting creature. But there was something about Reese Graham that had attracted someone like Vivian Bennett to her, and Garrett didn’t want to do anything that would risk her safety before he learned exactly what that something was. If it was a paranormal gift, or anything like what Orly, Hallie or Skyla could do, then her problems didn’t die with the rogue FBI Agent.
Her step brother, Russell Graham, was still out there. He was the one who’d had her committed to Desert Cove, and while Reese was a lot of things, Garrett didn’t think she was crazy. That likely meant Russell not only knew about her ability, but viewed it as a threat, making her a threat tohim. The last woman who came close to exposing Russell for the rogue killer cop he is, nearly lost her life.
Thankfully, Orly was safe now. Luke was making sure of it. But Reese didn’t have anyone to turn to, except the only person she’d allowed within five feet of her.
Garrett.
And from everything he’d seen and learned about her so far, he was happy to be the guy who stood by her, and between her and whatever danger came her way.
He just hoped Reese would open up to him before it was too late.
