Chapter 21 Preview:
“Cooper?” Lucy half-asked in confusion, staring at him until deep amber eyes finally met hers. “Don’t.” His voice remained low and his jawline tightened. “Take the damn gun.” Her eyes searched his, trying to figure out what exactly he was doing. He dropped his gaze. “Cooper,” she tried again, placing a hand on the gun but not removing it. “I can’t keep watching you-” he paused, shaking his head as his drawl slipped momentarily. “I’m not going to ask you to leave your brother, Lucy.” His gaze remained downcast.
