~Excerpt~

The heat, the city hustle, and the seriousness of her

task caused Arlette’s fury to explode. “Well, excuse me!”

she grumbled.

“Madam!” He was expensively dressed in a dark blue

Western suit, white shirt, and Italian tie.

She blinked, taking in the features of his rugged face

and expertly cut hair. He reminded her of the wealthy

Russian mafia she’d tangled with in Moscow earlier that

year.

The man clearly didn’t like her assessing him.

Putting his hands on her shoulders, he physically

moved her aside. “Out of my way!”

“Take your hands off me, sir!” Arlette shot back. Then

she held her breath.

What was she doing? It was imperative she keep a low

profile, and here she was taunting this stranger. She was

not in a position to correct rudeness or teach manners.

Today was the first day since JC had flown back to the

United States that she’d ventured out of their hotel.

The chances of her being followed were strong.

Discovery could cause her death.

Only a fool would incite a public argument. Arlette

had never been accused of being foolish.

Terror filled her eyes. Her tongue tripped over her

words, but she got them out. “Excuse me,” she said lowly,

then dropped her eyes, glancing to either side of her.

The dark-haired man with angry eyes sneered at her.

She wrested her shoulders from his grip. “Sorry.” She

skirted around him, then shot down the street as if the

devil himself was after her.

Intrigued, the man started to go after her but then

took out his cell phone, made a call, and disappeared into

the shop.
