the case and all the details that were swimming around in her head, but the sexy man who’d found the body. Of course getting to know Dr. MacDonald wouldn’t hurt, right? Sort of undercover to see what she could find out.
    Truth was, the only cover she’d like to be under with him was the one on either her bed or his.
    She wondered what his bed looked like.
    A cold shower. If this line of thinking kept up she’d have to run the shower and step under the water.
    Okay, now back to the book. She tried to focus. When she was growing up she used to like mysteries. Stories about police officers who had brought people like her mother’s killer to justice—but now that solving crimes was part of her own everyday life, she’d turned to other genres like romances. Sam read the next line.
    He kissed her for the first time…
    She ran her fingers over her lips. She bet the doctor was a great kisser.
    Will you stop it and just read.
    Simon placed his hand on her breast.
    She closed her eyes imagining Dr. MacDonald’s hand on her boobs. She bet he knew what to do to turn a woman’s nipples hard.
    Sam fanned her face with the book. She clearly needed to get out, date more, anything, because she’d never been prone to sexual fantasies like this ever before.
    She looked at the clock on the table. She was never going to get to sleep at this point. Maybe if she saw him again. Saw him for longer than she had at the crime scene, she could shake off this stupid dreamy image she had.
    Yeah, tomorrow she’d invite him down to the station, have him sign his statement and ask more about the time leading up to him finding Margo Henderson.

 
     
    Chapter Four
     
    Cole knew he’d done the right thing by reporting the young woman’s dead body, but what Dane had said had unsettled him. He didn’t want his error to make the group or Trent vulnerable to outside scrutiny.   He hadn’t slept all night thinking about it. And when he’d gotten a phone call from Detective Hardy reminding him he needed to drop by the station and sign his statement, well, it had sent him into a panic.
    He drove around the parking lot for the third time, almost thinking about not stopping and just driving to the ends of the earth. Someplace they wouldn’t find him and the other shifters would be safe.
    But he loved it here. Loved his new job. He was going to check out Liam and Lucy’s cottage later today. It would be someplace to live while he looked to buy his own apartment or even a house in Kalispell.   Running would also make it look like he was guilty. She’d think he’d been the one who’d killed the young woman. That was the last thing he wanted to happen.
    He turned into the closest parking space and took a deep breath. All he needed to do was walk in there, add his signature to a piece of paper, and leave. Cole switched off the ignition and got out of his car. The entrance was to his left. He headed that way and then opened the front door and made his way inside. The reception desk was ahead.
    “Hi my name’s Cole MacDonald and Detective Hardy said the statement I gave is ready for my signature.”
    “Yes, she left a message to say to let her know when you arrived because she has some more questions for you.”
    Cole tugged at his tie. More questions . Didn’t sound good.
    “If you can wait over there I’ll let her know you’re here.”
    The police officer pointed to a row of chairs that were lined up against the wall. The door and his escape route were only about ten feet from them. Nope, now he was here, he’d have to stay put or it would look really suspicious.
    He sat and looked at the stack of magazines sitting on the table and thought about picking one up to read when he heard his name being spoken.
    Cole looked up to see Detective Hardy approaching him. Today she was wearing a wrap- around black dress, and beige pumps. She looked gorgeous with her hair cascading over her shoulders. In fact, she looked like she was heading off to date
