“I’ve never seen her before.” But I plan to see her again.
“No.”
Why such stingy answers? What was she hiding? Quinn’s lawyer instincts kicked in. “Is she working for you?” He wondered about her name, something exotic no doubt. Ellysa. Anastasia. Veronica.
“Sort of.” She uncapped the whiskey and poured two fingers in each glass. “It’s temporary.”
That could mean anything. Or nothing. “So, who is she?”
“She’s too quiet for your tastes.”
What was that supposed to mean? So, he’d dated some women who oozed sex and loved the limelight almost as much as they loved him. That didn’t mean he was a complete caveman. He had manners. He had style. Besides, the mystery woman had her own brand of sex appeal. “The way she was working that blowtorch did not look quiet to me.”
Arianna ignored his comment. “It’s a complicated situation. You do not want to get involved.”
Oh, yes, I do. “I’m just curious.”
She shook her head and a swirl of golden blonde sifted along her back. “She’s lying low for a little while. I took her in as a favor to a friend.”
“Lying low as in hiding?” He’d heard those words before. Classic for in trouble and trying to get out of it. “What did she do? Skip out on her rent?”
Arianna looked him straight in the eye and said, “She shot her husband.”

About the Author
Mary Campisi writes emotion-packed books about second chances. Whether contemporary romances, women's fiction, or Regency historicals, her books all center on belief in the beauty of that second chance. Her small town romances center around family life, friendship, and forgiveness as they explore the issues of today’s contemporary women.
Mary should have known she'd become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all the books she read. It took several years and a number of jobs, including registered nurse, receptionist in a swanky hair salon, accounts payable clerk, and practice manager in an OB/GYN office, for her to rediscover writing. Enter a mouse-less computer, a floppy disk, and a dream large enough to fill a zip drive. The rest of the story lives on in every book she writes.
When she's not working on her craft or following the lives of five adult children, Mary's digging in the dirt with her flowers and herbs, cooking, reading, walking, or, on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own hero/husband on his Harley Ultra Limited.
