She was even more stunning up close than she’d appeared from a distance. He mentally traced the shape of her oval face, wide brown eyes, slim nose and perfectly plump lips. No wonder a psychotic killer was obsessed with her. She was a goddess.
Despite her beauty, he’d seen the brokenness in her eyes. It had called to him, to that place inside that was so dark not even his demons wanted anything to do with it.
They were two worn-out dolls on a shelf, which was why watching Jewel get kicked to the curb pissed him off so much. There was a thin line between justice and revenge. Finn was willing to cross it, but he wasn’t ready yet.
Jewel could be innocent.
She could also be in cahoots with… Scope.
No matter what, his end goal remained. As soon as Jewel gave him what he wanted, he’d chase his man down and give Courtney the justice she deserved.

After the running around she’d been doing this morning, Jewel deserved a break. She rubbed the back of her neck and draped her body into the nearest padded chair.
“Whose stupid idea was it to get married at a Mayan site again?” Sky grumbled, storming past her and collapsing on the edge of the massive hotel bed in a ball of white satin and fluff.
“Jo’s!” Carrie yelled, limping to the chair next to Jewel’s.
“It was. A. Joke.” Joana dropped like a rock at Jewel’s feet and leaned her back against the chair leg. “Joon Gi’s the one who ran with it.”
“You think they’ll get here in time?” Sky moaned.
Jewel checked her watch. “They’ll be here.”
“My wedding’s in thirty minutes and my groom is stranded in the middle of nowhere.” Sky slugged an arm over her face. “All the guests are probably at the site waiting for us. I’m doomed.”
“On the bright side, you and Joon kept the guest list small so you don’t have to worry about too many people complaining.” Carrie patted Sky’s knee.
Jewel heard a car door slam. She inched forward and used the heel of her strappy silver sandals to pull the curtain back and spy out the sliding door. Through the glass, she saw a sleek blue car in the parking lot.
Another guest arrived.
She was just about to drop the curtain when the driver hopped out. Jewel did a double take. Broad shoulders. Sturdy legs like a tree-trunk. Chiseled jaw.
Her heart pounded against her chest.
Finn?
“What are you gasping at?” Jo crawled to the sliding door to peek outside.
Carrie joined them. “I want to see too.”
Jo squealed, pointing to her boyfriend who’d emerged from the backseat of Finn’s car. “Sun Gi!”
“Benson’s here too,” Carrie said, her voice climbing in both pitch and excitement. “They must have gotten a ride.”
Sky shot off the bed. “Is Joon…?”
“Yes,” Jewel said, noticing the tall, pale-skinned man climbing out of the passenger seat. “He’s there.”
Sky dashed off the bed and joined the ladies who were pressing their noses against the glass door. “It looks like Finn was the hero again today.”
“Who’s Finn?” Jo arched an eyebrow. “That the hunk in the navy blue suit?”
“That’s Jewel’s date,” Sky said, mischief glinting in her eyes.
Jewel frowned. “He’s not my date.”
