Slow Burn (The Blake Boys Book 7) Read Online Free PDF Page B

Jacob as much face time with the boys as we can, so we’re always in Texas. But I saw pictures, and Seth says it’s really nice. It’s just missing a woman’s touch.”
    “Do you think Sam can get Tyler to the house?”
    “Absolutely. I hope you get the answers you’re looking for. You deserve nothing but happiness, and if you think Tyler is the key to that, I wish you the best.”
    “To tell you the truth, I feel bad putting you in the middle of all this. I just want you to know if this doesn’t work out, I promise it won’t be weird.”
    “Please, we thrive on weird. Now go rope yourself a cowboy.” Morgan kissed her on the cheek.
    Michelle liked the private plane and Sam had arranged for a security specialist from Regency, her company, to greet her when she touched down. The scenic view from the airport to the house was beautiful and made her wish she had more time to go sightseeing. After the walk-through of the house, the security rep gave her the rundown of alarm codes and told her the SUV in the garage had been gassed up. She felt better knowing security wouldn’t be too far away in case she needed something. She had a day to set the scene, but it all passed in a whirl because before she knew it, she was pacing the living room, waiting for Sam to arrive with the package.
    The “package” was a six-foot-two race car driver who was bound to be severely pissed off once he found out what she’d done. The Blake women, including Teri-Lyn, were all on board for this venture to bring Tyler to a secluded place he couldn’t easily escape. Michelle just hoped she could make her hands stop shaking.
    She heard the car pull up and didn’t wait for the doorbell to ring. She opened the door and saw Kendrick, Sam’s partner, carrying Tyler over his shoulder.
    Michelle gasped. “Is he OK?”
    Kendrick plunked an unconscious Tyler on the sofa.
    “He’s fine.” Sam laughed. “I checked his vitals. It was a mild sedative. It should wear off in about an hour.”
    “Sam, you seem like you’ve done this before.” Michelle raised an eyebrow.
    “This would be my third and hopefully last time with Tyler.”
    “Third?”
    “The gorgeous ones are always the most trouble.” Sam pinched his cheek. “Tyler has always been wild but essentially harmless in the grand scheme of things.”
    “How much trouble?” Michelle gulped.
    “Michelle, you’re going to be fine. I had Daniel reschedule his interview with Sports Now magazine for next week.” Sam handed her the keys to the handcuffs. “You remember your objective?”
    Michelle nodded. “To torture that little weasel.”
    “And,” Sam added, “to find out once and for all where you stand. You care enough to kidnap him, I think you’re half way there.”
    “One would think,” Michelle huffed.
    Kendrick’s cough made them both look in his direction. “I draw the line at taking his clothes off.”
    “Not necessary. You can go wait in the car.” Sam pointed to the door.
    “I deserve a raise,” Kendrick mumbled as he left.
    Michelle looked at Sam’s hand, which had a huge engagement ring on it. “Holy cow! Congratulations!” She hugged her.
    “Thank you.” Sam touched the ring.
    “Tell me everything. When did J.J. propose?”
    “Last night. He was so adorable. He must have rambled on for ten minutes before he got the words out.”
    “J.J. ramble? I would have paid to see that.” Michelle giggled. “When’s the wedding date?”
    “I was thinking a few months after Tate and Isabelle tie the knot. I want them to have their day without the shadow of ours looming over their heads.”
    Michelle looked over at Tyler, immobile on the couch. If J.J. of all people could do it, why couldn’t Tyler? “I’m so happy for you. J.J. is a great guy. I knew it would take a special woman to make that handsome man smile again.”
    “It does take a special woman to handle a Blake man. You remember that.”
    “I will.” Michelle hugged her again. “Thanks, for
