“I think you know what it’s like to have to act a certain way and you know the cost of that. Of course, you took the better road and turned into a saint. Not me. I chose the sinner route, but that gets old, and I’m tired of it. Maybe I want to find a way out. And maybe—” his eyes burned into her, seared her soul, “—you can help me. Maybe we can help each other.”
She chewed on her bottom lip, tried to sort fact from possibility, truth from lies. Maybe they could help each other. Katie didn’t consider why they couldn’t just be friends, or what would happen if they were more than that. When he was around, her world shifted, blurred promise and possibility, light and dark…truth and lies. She didn’t consider the many traps and dangerous risks awaiting if she let Ian Finnegan into her life.
And she definitely should have.
