promises of that. She had no interest in a one night stand, but he did seem interested in her. Maybe something real could become of it.
    “Are you coming home with me?”
    Desire and interest overrode her caution. “Yes.” Evie followed Nick to his car, a sleek silver Audi. She glanced at him opening the door for her. He was wearing dark blue jeans and a crispy button down dark red shirt. She could tell he was one of those guys who cared about his looks. His brown hair was carefully styled for the just out of bed, tousled look. She smiled, wondering how long it would take him to get dressed each morning. Probably more time than her. She wasn’t into fashion, and wore clothes more sensible than for the looks she rarely garnered anyway.
    Moments later after they’d left the nightclub, Evie gazed out the window, drawing her brows together as they sped past the turnoff for the lake.
    “You missed the turn.”
    Nick kept his eyes on the road. “I didn’t.”
    Her heartbeat stilted and her breath lodged in her throat. This isn’t happening. “You, uh…you know of another route to the lake?”
    He spared her a glance, deep brown eyes probing hers. “I know where I’m going. I never told you we were going to Lake Washburn.”
    She jerked her head back, panic lacing through her spine. “Where are you taking me? You said your house by the lake. Are you at least going to tell me which one you were referring to?” So I can sneak a call to 911 as soon as possible.
    “Tiberius.”
    Unable to control her reaction, Evie screamed, whipping off her seatbelt. “That’s three hours away!”
    “And out in the middle of nowhere. I live there, sweetheart, you don’t have to tell me that.” His look of warning sent slivers of ice down her spine. What had she gotten herself into?
    Evie sank into the leather seat, replacing the seatbelt. She shook her head. God must be punishing her for going home with a man she’d just met. If her mother was still alive, no doubt she would have been disappointed with her decision.
    “Why are you doing this?” She glared at Nick.
    “A score to settle.” He gazed at her, his expression softening. “It’s nothing personal, Evie.”
    She nodded, keeping her eyes on him, while pushing her hand into a small opening of her handbag beside her lap. She rifled through, feeling for her cell phone. If she could somehow manage to dial 911, even if he caught her at least she could blurt out his plans for her, so the police would know where to look. Evie coughed, pretending to clear her throat in hopes of masking the sound of her hand shuffling through the bag. “Are you going to kill me?”
    Nick laughed quietly. “I will if you don’t put that bag under the seat.”
    She threw the bag to the floor, her cell phone tumbling out and rolling under the seat.
    “Shit. You don’t have to look like that, sweetheart. I’m not going to hurt you. I just need you to cooperate a little with me. This isn’t going to be as bad as you’re thinking.”
    Evie swallowed down her fear, finding an odd sense of comfort in his words. “Nick, if you tell me what this is all about, maybe we could work something out. This is kidnapping. It’s illegal.”
    “Trust me, sweetheart, we’re definitely going to work something out.”
    She frowned at his refusal to elaborate on the cryptic message. Silence filtered through the car and Evie’s head spun, devising methods of escape. Eventually, Nick must have seen the frantic look on her face because his hand slowly worked its way up her leg, squeezing her thigh. “Relax. I’ve already told you we’re not going to hurt you.”
    She froze, her eyes bulging. “We?”
    He didn’t get to answer. Whatever he was about to say was overshadowed by a loud beep resonating behind the car. “Right on time,” Nick muttered.
    Snapping her head to the side, Evie spotted a large pickup truck merging from an exit on the right. It was too dark to see into the vehicle, but her stomach
