“Not yet,” Lionel answered, bringing a steaming cup of tea to Wrexham. “It seems there were some difficulties along the border between France and Spain.”
David could only imagine what those were. “If they can’t get home that way, they need to find another,” he said. “The sooner we talk to Joe about his sister, the sooner we’ll be able to unravel another part of this mystery.”
“About the man with the lion?” Wrexham asked.
“Precisely.” David nodded. “I can’t help but think that the man with the lion, whoever or whatever that is, holds the key to unraveling this whole thing.”
“And nobody else has a clue who the man with the lion is?” Wrexham asked.
“Nobody,” Lionel answered, brow furrowed in frustration.
“That’s not true.” They all snapped to face the door as Everett Jewel swept into the room, making an entrance as grand as any he might make on the stage. “I know who the man with the lion is.”
I hope you’ve enjoyed Stephen and Max’s story! I have to confess that the character of Stephen is, in part, based on one of my teachers when I was about Jane’s age. It was a terrible time in my life, my parents had just divorced, my beloved grandfather had died, everything was a mess, and by some wonderful stroke of destiny, I was assigned to this man’s class. The kindness and care he showed me helped me through an impossibly painful time. It was only years later that he came out, but he is one of the reasons that I find gay men to be such a comfort and why they make me feel safe.
But I bet you’re dying to know how the hunt for the masterminds behind the kidnapping ring continues! What insider information has superstar Everett Jewel uncovered, what are his connections to the underworld, and what deeper pain is he hiding? Will he and Officer Patrick Wrexham be able to get to the bottom of things, or will the irresistible attraction between them cause more problems than it solves? And where does Lionel Mercer fall into this equation? Find out soon in Just a Little Danger, available for pre-order now!
