outside the library entrance is devoid of any cars that I recognize. Our firm practices the type of corporate law that seldom requires trips to the local courthouse. On top of that, none of my coworkers would have a need to visit the county law library when there is an extensively stocked one in our office downtown. Unless, of course, they are like me—hiding.
    Nash and I walk in silence to an empty table among the stacks and stacks of books. I’ve been here only a handful of times, and even then, I was never concentrating on criminal law, so my expertise in this area is virtually nil. But that’s what I’m here to change.
    I set down my things at the table and start digging back through my law school days for helpful memories like precedents and effective ways to construct a criminal case. The wheels spin, but for the most part, they’re ineffective. I’m just not well versed in this kind of thing.
    “Maybe we should at least look into racketeering, since that’s what Cash has worked so long on proving. Maybe there’s a way we can still make a case,” Nash offers.
    Yes, anyone would be a fool to underestimate Nash simply because he looks like a felon. There’s an incredibly sharp, observant mind behind his attractively unkempt façade. It’s an intoxicating combination.
    “I guess that’s as good a place to start as any.”
    He smiles down at me. It’s a genuine smile, one I don’t think I’ve seen him wear. He looks more boyish and less harmful with it in place. It’s very deceptive, as I know he’s neither.
    “I figured you might need a place to dig in. This isn’t exactly your specialty, right?”
    I laugh uneasily as I return his smile. I feel a bit off-kilter from his ability to continually surprise me with his perceptiveness. “No, not exactly.”
    “Let’s get on with this, then.”
    His eyes are sparkling when they meet mine. Not only do I think he means much more than just the research, but now I can add “charming” to his list of deadly attributes.

    I bring back the first armload of books and set them on our table. A couple of them contain direct references to the Gambino crime family case. Marissa thinks it will be most helpful, as it details the successful prosecution and imprisonment of a crime family based on the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act.
    I don’t mind researching case law to keep myself busy for a while, but it’s not nearly the distraction Marissa will be. Pursuing her will give me something to focus my . . . intensity on until all of this mess is settled. She’s just the sort of release I need.
    I could take care of things my own way, Cash be damned. But despite the lingering resentment over him taking over my identity, I still care about him. He’s my twin, for God’s sake. And I know he was misled, that Dad didn’t tell him I was alive. In his way, Dad was trying to protect us both. And I guess we both did the best we could in a bad situation.
    It’s still hard to sit back and wait rather than act, though. That’s why Marissa’s presence is so timely. I’ll have something to do in the meantime. She’ll be a challenge. She’s used to a certain kind of man, a man that’s nothing like me, so she’s in unfamiliar territory. And I’m just asshole enough to take full advantage of that before she changes her mind and runs back to the life she had before she met the Davenports.
    When I find Marissa within the stacks again, she’s four aisles over, at the back of the room. She’s holding three more books in her arms. But she’s not alone.
    An impeccably dressed blond guy has cornered her. He’s nearly as tall as me, just not as muscular. He’s dressed in a dark blue suit. It’s custom cut, I’m sure. He’s smiling down at Marissa. And she’s smiling back.
    I stop a few feet behind them and clear my throat.
    Marissa looks at me. “Oh, Jensen, this is, um . . . this is . . .” The guy, Jensen, turns toward me
