Chapter One
“ Darn, freaking storm,” Jewel muttered beneath her breath as
she dashed through the torrential rain to her delivery
van.
Apprehension prickled along the back of her neck and although
she’d parked as close as possible to the rear entrance of the Key
Club, heart-pounding anxiety pummelled her. It was dark and stormy.
Way too dark. She wished she’d accepted Jaxie’s offer of
accompanying her out here to grab the last couple of boxes of items
in the van. But over the last couple of years, Jewel had forced
herself to become as independent as possible. Perhaps she was too
independent and had put herself in danger venturing out into the
secluded parking lot alone.
With all
this rain pouring over her, the water dripping into her eyes,
soaking her red t-shirt and blue jeans, she wished she was tucked
safely away in her warm little rental cabin and listening to the
rain crashing against her metal roof. Instead, she was smack dab in
the middle of it, just because she’d wanted to get this delivery
done tonight. She hadn’t counted on getting caught in this
unexpected storm. She cursed her stubbornness, and nudged one of
the forty-pound boxes against her hip and then tried to slide the
van door closed with her free hand.
“ Can we give you some help?” A man’s deep voice rumbled out of
the darkness and terror ripped into her like sharp blades. She
would have dropped the box and ran, but the shadowy figure easily
and quickly took the box from her and hoisted it into his
arms.
Oh! She
hadn’t seen or heard him. She turned to make sure she had an escape
route, just in case, but instantly realized she’d parked too close
to the huge trash containers and there was no way out. She was
blocked!
She
opened her mouth to scream, but to her shock and horror, nothing
came out but a pathetic squeak.
“ Hey, Jewel, we didn’t mean to scare you.” Another man’s voice
echoed through the splashing rain.
They knew her name .
Despite
that, she trembled like a leaf, turned, and blinked the drops out
of her eyes in an effort to see who the hell they were. A big, tall
guy loomed directly in front of her. He had dark hair and a gentle
smile. She had seen him around town a few times over the last year.
He was good looking and she remembered that she’d liked looking at
him from afar, but she’d been staying away from men in general and
hadn’t wanted to find a way to meet him.
“ Jaxie told us we should give you a hand. We came right out,”
he said. His brow furrowed as he studied her. He seemed concerned
about her reaction.
Relief
should be pouring through her, but she couldn’t stop
shaking.
“ Here, put my coat over your head and go back inside. We’ll
bring in the boxes,” the other man said as he
