Head overheart…
Her dad’s words, words she’d heeded in every facet of her life — except thisone.
Neil and Beth had been an unlikely team since the beginning, but Kate had been too wrapped up in her own pain, her own betrayal, to look at the situationdispassionately.
Now she realized their partnership had always been improbable. Not because they didn’t have motive — Neil’s jealousy and Beth’s alienation would have provided more than enough fuel for their plans — but because neither of them were disciplined enough, patient enough, to execute a plan that involved killing off Mac Walsh, gathering enough shares of WMG to initiate a hostile takeover, and doing it all without drawing attention from the law or the vultures who watched the stock market for any anomalies, including a massive stock transfer orpurchase.
Hadn’t she felt all along that there was something else going on? That she and Declan and MIS were missing something? Some piece of thepuzzle?
Maybe it was just a fresh rush of paranoia, but her fear at the sound she’d heard from the door seemed like a warning, her long-ignored instinct telling her there was a reason she’d never been afraid of Neil. She’d been repulsed by him, by what he’d done, but even after his murder of her father had been revealed, even after he’d taken Griff too far out in the cove, she’d never been afraid ofhim.
Because deep down she’d wondered if maybe someone else was on the sidelines calling the shots and pullingstrings.
Someone far more dangerous. Someone who would give her reason to beafraid.
