    She should have stayed away.

    JOSEPH

    A pretty young girl like her deserves someone who can love her. Someone who’s not a bastard like me.

    Someone without a target on the back of his head. 

    Someone who won’t break her heart after breaking her bed. 



    She’s the one thing that I can’t have—that I shouldn’t have.

    But when I bury myself in her, nothing else matters.



    And when I pin her body against mine.

    When I make her cry my name.



    All I want is to ruin her for other men.

    Because I can’t resist—and I won’t ever let her go. 



    ROSE

    Joseph Warner changed my life.

    He makes me regret ever laying eyes on him. Makes me ache for his touch.

    I should’ve left him in the past where he belonged.

    But a storm of bullets brings him crashing back into my life.

    And no matter what I try, I can’t let him go.



    I know the consequences.



    The danger.

    The excitement.

    The way he makes me beg for more.



    And I can’t wait to get started.

      CHAPTER ONE

      "A guilar’s," Rose says when she answers the phone, identifying the restaurant that bears her name.

      Rose?

      This is Rose Aguilar. How may I help you?

      Rose... this is Melina. Melina Scholly.

      Melina! How are you? I haven’t heard from you in ages.

      Oh, Rose... the woman gasps into the phone. Tim has been killed. I thought...

      What? she yelps. Oh, Melina... I’m so sorry! How?

      Rose waits while Melina gets herself under control. He was shot, Rose. Murdered this morning. Outside the restaurant.

      Rose sits in shocked silence. Things like this just don’t happen in the community of Eagle Valley. Melina has two lovely children, Michael and Kimberly, one three and the other not quite one. Both of them are about to grow up without a father.

      Melina... I can’t tell you how sorry I am. Is there anything I can do? Anything at all?

      She waits as Melina tries to get her sobs under control. I hate to ask...

      Melina... Rose says warmly. We’ve been friends forever. If I can do it, you know I will.

      I need someone to run the restaurant for a few days. Just until things settle down. I’m sorry to have to ask...

      I will be happy to help you, Melina, she interrupts. Can you manage for a day or two until I can get there?

      Rose can hear the relief in Melina’s voice. Yes. Of course. I can’t thank you enough, Rose. I hate to be a burden. I know you have your own...

      Hush now, Rose says kindly. It is no burden. My assistant managers can run the place for a few days. I’ll be there tomorrow evening some time. Don’t worry about this, okay? You worry about yourself.

      Thank you Rose. Thank you so much! Melina gushes. Will you stay with me? Please? I could use the company. I feel like I am going out of my mind and...

      Of course. I would love to. Anything I can do to help. Hang in there, Melina. I know it is hard right now, but it will get better. I promise.

      Melina is quiet for a moment before Rose hears a great gasping sob. I have to go Rose. I haven’t called Tim’s parents yet. I’m dreading making that call.

      Do you want me to do it? Rose offers.

      No... I can do it. It’s just going to be so hard...

      I know, Melina. I know... she comforts as she begins to struggle with her own tears.

      Thank you, Rose. I couldn’t ask for a better friend, Melina says.

      Same here, Rose murmurs as she hears the line go dead.

      She sits at her desk, staring at the walls. Tim Scholly... murdered. Tim was the nicest guy you could ever meet. A friend to everyone. Why anyone would want to kill him is beyond her.

      Rose gathers herself and wipes her eyes before picking up the phone and dialing both her managers. She needs to let them know they are going to have to pick up the slack while she is gone.

      AFTER MEETING WITH her managers early the next afternoon, Rose heads north on US-95 to Eagle Valley, Nevada. It has been a couple of years since she has made the six hour drive home to the community located right outside of Carson City. Not really a town, more like a loose gathering of homes for people that work in Carson City—and the businesses that support them—Eagle Valley was her home until she left to find her own way.

      It is going to be like old times, going back to the restaurant she worked in until she left for college. She, Tim, Melina, and Joseph Warner—they were best friends and the core group of high school kids that had served as waiters and busboys for her parents’ restaurant, The Green Goose... or as the locals call it, the Goose. Her parents had sold the restaurant to Tim less than a year ago when they had retired to Florida.

      When her parents announced they were retiring they had offered her the Goose but she had already graduated from UNLV with a degree in business and hospitality management and had opened her own restaurant, Aguilar’s, in Los Vegas.

      Where Aguilar’s is upscale, open for dinner only, and catering to the well-heeled, the Goose is open from five am until ten pm every day, serving simple meals at reasonable prices. Tim, who had worked up from busboy to assistant manager, had expressed an interest when her parents had decided to sell and Rose was thrilled that the restaurant had all but stayed in the family.

      She hasn’t been home since her mom and dad had announced their plans to sell and retire, and despite the circumstances, she is looking forward to meeting her old friends. But poor Melina... Rose had worked it out with her two managers to be gone for about thirty days with just the occasional visit back to Vegas to handle any problem that might need her attention. By then Melina should be back on her feet and can take over the restaurant if she chooses. She had worked there for a long time before quitting to raise her family and Rose is confident that once she is over the shock of Tim’s unexpected death, that she will be fine and the Goose will be in good hands.

      She slows as she cruises past the Goose on the way to Melina’s house, it’s lights off, closed because of the tragedy just past. She is saddened to see the dark restaurant. Not only because it is due to the death of her long-time friend, but also because the lights are so rarely out at the Goose. As she drives past she sets her jaw in determination. The Goose will be open for breakfast tomorrow morning at five am, just like always, if there is any way she can make it happen.

      Less than ten minutes later, Rose parks her BMW in the drive of her childhood home. When the Scholly’s bought the Goose, they took it as a package deal with her parents’ nearby house. It was good deal for Tim and Melina because they were able to obtain the larger home their growing family needed, and they could live only eight miles from their livelihood. It was also a good deal for her Mom and Dad, allowing them to make a clean break and unload their house at
