Razing Kayne Read Online Free PDF

good sort. Certainly someone Kayne would want at his back in a fight.
    When two o'clock rolled around, Kayne pulled into his driveway. He logged off duty
     with dispatch and went inside. Due to the snow, it had been a day full of traffic
     tickets and stranded motorists. He quickly stripped off his wet uniform, beyond glad
     his shift was over. He was very tempted to stay home, but one look around the quiet
     little house, with its sparse furniture and depressing atmosphere, made him realize
     he didn’t want to spend the afternoon alone. He quickly changed into a sweatshirt,
     jeans, and hiking boots. Grabbing a jacket and the keys to his truck, he headed out
     the door.
    He knew where the park was, and finding the picnic wasn't a problem. There weren't
     many people out today, and those that had braved the cold were all under a central
     ramada. He realized immediately why they'd chosen the amphitheater—it doubled as a
     sledding hill for the kids. Several hiked up the side and sledded down the center.
    “Hey, glad you could make it,” Del said, appearing next to Kayne as he stepped into
     the ramada. “Come, let me introduce you around.”
    “Here are a few guys you might want to get to know.” Del introduced him to Officer
     Nick Astenbeck, and Detectives Trace St. Moritz and Rafe Chatham, all from the local
     police department, and two doctors, Mark Oberly and his partner, Stephanie Heywood.
    “I'm actually a nurse practitioner and midwife,” Stephanie clarified before exchanging
     some ribald banter with one of the detectives about playing doctor.
    The guy manning the grill introduced himself. “I'm Joe Sutton, fire-medic. I’m assuming
     you’ve met Buck Johnson,” Joe motioned to the man standing next to him. “Our illustrious Superior Court judge.”
    Kayne nodded. “Nice to meet you.” He hadn’t had any cases adjudicated by the man yet, but he’d heard the guy was unwaveringly
     fair.
    Judge Johnson gave him a genuine smile. “You too, son. Sorry I can’t stay and visit, but I’ve got a wife and sick granddaughter at home.
     My Evie insisted I bring the dishes she made for the picnic so they didn’t go to waste.”
     He patted his slightly rounded stomach. “Not that they would have, but I learned long
     ago never to argue with a woman.”
    Joe pinned the judge with a look. “You know your wife sent you down here with the
     food hoping you’d stay out of her hair for a while.”
    Judge Johnson gave a hearty chuckle. “You may be right. I’m gonna grab my phone out
     of the truck and give her a quick call. Save me a burger.”
    Kayne tuned into the bantering conversation between the detective, Rafe, and the female
     doctor, Stephanie.
    “...I'm amazed you even remember her, since you've slept with every available woman
     in town.”
    Kayne had no idea who they were talking about.
    “Not every one of them.” Rafe looked toward the sledding hill.
    Rafe and Stephanie continued to argue, but Kayne's sights locked on the woman in a
     pink ski jacket and matching beanie walking towards him, the one Rafe watched with
     undisguised interest too—Jessica. Kayne tensed, his hands reflexively curling into
     fists at his side. He wanted to wipe the undisguised lust off the guy’s face. Oblivious
     to the attention, Jessica and Maddy trudged through the snow side by side, Jess holding
     Gracie and pulling Isabelle behind her on a sledding disc. Jess and Maddy appeared
     to be deep in conversation. Kayne didn't realize he'd been staring until she looked
     right at him and faltered in her step. She obviously hadn't known he'd been invited.
     After this morning, he felt more than a little embarrassed being here.
    Jessica stopped in front of him but didn’t make eye contact. “You know there are anti-stalking
     laws in this state.”
    “Stop picking on the boy. I invited him,” Del scolded affectionately.
    Kayne already felt awkward enough seeing her face-to-face after letting her star in
     this
