Keeping out of sight

is the only way to survive.

A frantic call from a witness whose Colorado safe house is breached sends US marshal Slade Brooks to Robyn Lowry’s side at Christmastime. But when he reaches her, she doesn’t remember him—or the crime she witnessed. With the trial just days away, someone won’t stop until Robyn’s dead. And while she might recover her memory in time, keeping Robyn alive long enough to testify is Slade’s hardest mission.

Something was wrong.

Flattening herself against the wall, she peered through the bedroom window. She didn’t see anything but darkness, the moon obliterated by clouds and only a glimpse of the snowcapped Rocky Mountains off in the distance.

Her imagination? After what she’d been through, she wasn’t about to ignore her gut. And right now, everything inside was screaming at her to get out.

Abandoning the window, she tiptoed through the dark house, making her way toward the living area. There was so sign of deputy marshal Craig. She swiftly crossed to the front door. The scraping sound had come from the back of the house, and the safe house was located on a dead-end road.

The house across the street was supposedly empty, the owners away on a three-week cruise over the Christmas holidays.

Her pulse quickened. By the time she called for help, the bad guy would be inside. There was no time to waste. Looking through the front-door window, her gaze scoured the front yard. It was bare of anything but frost-tipped grass and one tall aspen tree, not large enough for anyone to hide behind.

Even her.

Okay, then. She turned the knob on the front door. Why was it unlocked?

She heard glass shattering.

Someone was breaking in!

Robyn flew across the yard, her sneakers making indentations in the frosted grass. She sprinted toward the vehicle parked on the road, hoping, praying she’d find Craig out here for some reason. But as she stared at the windshield, there wasn’t anyone behind the wheel.

Was she mistaken? Could the broken glass have come from the federal marshal? But if so, why?

She wrenched the car door open, praying the keys were in the ignition.

They weren’t.

No time! She couldn’t waste any more time!

In a low crouch, Robyn eased alongside the vehicle, then stopped abruptly when she saw a small dark puddle forming beneath the trunk of the car.

Blood.

She stared, her brain unwilling to believe. But there was no mistake. Drip. Drip. Drip. No, no, it couldn’t be—in her mind she envisioned the body of the dead marshal in the trunk. Her stomach heaved, but there was no time to be sick. She touched the car. Maybe he was still alive and she could help him.

She heard a door slam. Her pursuer must have left the house.

Move, she told herself. Go! She ran across the street to the vacant house as fast as her feet could carry her, imagining she was back in college running track and determined to win.

Or, in this case, stay alive.
