Book Excerpt - CHAPTER
ONE, Part 3
SO...THAT WENT WELL. Faye’s sarcasm rang loud and clear in her mind as she trekked across
the beach with her brand-new coworkers.
She was on a
mission. Had a very clear plan. She’d considered every step in-depth prior to implementation.
She’d allowed for every eventuality. Taken measures to ensure that nothing went
wrong.
“You told me he
approved of my employment,” she said to Brandt Rollins, hurrying to catch up
with him instead of lagging behind with the other two.
She knew Brandt
best. Other than a quick introductory hello to the two that night and a few
others when she’d taken a tour of the station as part of her final interview,
he was the only one she knew.
Other than Reese,
of course.
“He did.”
Right. Which was
why he’d been shocked to see her that night. And not pleasantly so.
Not that she’d
expected he would be pleased. The fact that he’d agreed to her hire without
having it out with her had shocked her. It was a part of the plan that had gone
far better than anything she’d imagined.
Now she knew why.
“You gave him my
whole file. With the photo and all?”
“I put it on his
desk. But he likes me to pull out the credential and experience sheet and
attach it to the top. I’m the one in charge of hiring. He trusts me to do my
job.”
Now she was pissing
off the one guy who actually liked her.
Reese had every
reason to hate her. And those were the reasons he knew about. She now suspected
there could be one more. Worse than the others.
He’d only seen her
credentials. All earned and issued under the name Faye Walker, EMT. He’d known
Faye Browning, studying to be an RN.
“Don’t worry if you
think he didn’t like you,” Brandt said as they reached cement and he stomped
the sand off his boots. “It’s not you he was pissed at.”
Oh, she was pretty
sure it was.
But, until Reese
said differently, she had to make certain that no one knew she’d ever known
him.
If her plan was
going to work—and it had to—she had to let her ex-lover call the shots. Until
her son had time to heal and she had answers. Then she’d be back in charge. And
could take Elliott and quietly slip away.
“How can you be so
sure he didn’t take an instant dislike to me?” she asked. Because it seemed
like something she might have asked if she’d never met the boss before.
They were at the
truck and Brandt stripped off the top half of his gear. The others were still
several yards behind.
“Because I know why
he was pissed and it didn’t have anything to do with you.”
She frowned.
Completely sure Brandt was wrong, but curious about why he thought he was
right.
“Why was he
pissed?”
“Because he gave
the paramedic you’re covering for a second chance and the guy blew it.”
It was the best
news she’d heard in a while.
Nodding, she
climbed up into the truck. Buckled herself in. And allowed herself to take a
deep breath.
Reese Bristow had
not only become the fire investigator and chief he’d always said he’d be, but
he’d grown into a man who gave second chances.
Her plan might just
work out fine after all.Other Books in the Where Secrets Are Safe Series
