always find a way to leave.”
    “I wouldn’t do that. Toni would wonder why I returned early and the truth would upset her. You’re right.” Sam stiffened, noting the gleam of satisfaction on his face. “She would probably cancel her trip here next month.”
    “Very well, then. I think there is nothing more to discuss.” Leo pushed back a black silk cuff. “Dinner is in a couple of hours,” he commented, rising from his seat.
    Sam took his cue and rose as well. She had to get out of here because if she spent another minute with him, she was afraid she was going to tell him exactly what he could do with his rules and regulations.
    “I’m not hungry,” she lied. The thought of having dinner with him left her cold. “I think I’ll turn in early, if you don’t mind.”
    His gaze held hers and for one moment, she thought he was going to argue with her. Instead, his lids came down, hooding the expression in his eyes and he said, “As you wish.”
    Without another word, Sam turned on her heels. With her shoulders held high, she strode from his office.
    It wasn’t until she was in her room when she remembered she had forgotten to ask him what he had meant when he’d said he knew exactly who and what she was.
    Furthermore, she wondered, what had been on those papers he’d tapped when he’d said that.

    Leo ran a rough hand through his hair as he stared at the door Samantha Hope had taken. He didn’t know what was worse, the incriminating contents of her file or how she made him feel like a ruthless bastard.
    “Damn it,” he swore under his breath .
    On the one hand, he had evidence from the best private investigator in New York that Samantha Hope was underhanded, conniving and the last person he wanted his impressionable sister to be friends with.  On the other hand, those big, green, innocent eyes of hers, and the proud, honourable air she wore, made Leo feel like he was the big bad wolf.
    His thoughts stilled as he curled his mouth sardonically, the irony not lost on him.
    He was the big, bad wolf—a Lycan for four hundred years, surviving battles with werewolves, vampires, witches, and underground organisation of ruthless werewolf and vampire killers.
    Even so, as much as he didn’t trust the red-headed minx, something didn’t sit well in his gut.  His inner beast could smell the scent of danger and deceit a mile away, and he was picking up neither from Sam.  On the surface she appeared to be an innocent, but he wanted to be certain.  
    He punched a number on his phone.  “This is Matt Walker.  Leave me a message.”
    Leo cursed under his breath.   “It’s Leo. Call me as soon as you get this message. Something’s not right with the file you sent me on Samantha Hope.”

    Sam stirred from her nap, with hunger pangs gnawing at her stomach.  She was starving.  Slowly, she opened her eyes and squinted at the alarm clock on the nightstand. She sat up groggily and stretched.  God, she couldn’t believe how long she napped.  It was already midnight.
    She flung back the covers and rose from the bed as a wave of resentment washed over her.  If Leo had shown her a smidgeon of hospitality, she might have been able to swallow her pride and dined with him, but he hadn’t and now she was ravenous.  She couldn’t believe she had to go into town at this late hour to grab a bite to eat.
    Sam sniffed the air and frowned. Wait a minute, she thought, as she smelled the tantalising aroma of food. Was that spices and herbs and chicken? Or was she delirious?
    She glanced around, the moon casting enough light in her room, and saw the dinner tray on a small table beside a settee. Surprised, she walked over to it and lifted the lid to reveal a delectable meal of chicken, rice, and vegetables. Relief washed over her and she sent
