cracked over time and couldn’t be fixed, so we had them reproduced to match the original pattern. Does it trigger anything?”
    Tamrin wrapped her arms around her body and looked around. “I’m afraid not. There were so many people in here that night. All I can think about is how different everything looks now that we’re alone.”
    “Come on,” he said gently. “We have a few more rooms to look at. Maybe one of those will help us.”
    She followed him and listened as he talked about the palace. From what she’d heard about him, he was all business, but she could tell that he found pleasure in his home. Seeing this side of him, she could understand how easy it would be to become attracted to him. But being attracted to him did not fit in with the plan. And unless things moved along fast enough, they would be out of time before they could secure the money. No, she needed to keep this sexy sheikh at arm’s distance. She just hoped that part of the plan would be agreeable to everyone.
    At the end of the tour, she gave him an apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry. Your home is beautiful, but it doesn’t bring back any memories of a thief or my necklace.”
    “Tamrin, are you okay? You seem different today.” Jaymin’s voice was laced with concern.
    Frowning at him, she pulled away. “I’m not sure what you mean, Sheikh Khalidizack. I’m acting like a frustrated woman who lost something valuable. How do you think I should be acting?”
    His eyes widened. “I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just that last night…”
    “Last night, you were confident that you could find my necklace,” she said sharply as she cut him off. “This morning you have nothing new to report.”
    “Tamrin,” he said. “You have to give me more time.”
    “I am.” She tried to force a smile. “I apologize. I’m trying to be patient, but I’m not very good at it. I’ll keep trying to recall something. Thank you for your help. If you don’t mind, we’ll leave now.” She turned and gestured to her father.
    “Of course, I’ll have a car return you to your hotel,” Jaymin agreed.
    She merely nodded as they walked out of the palace.
    “Everything okay?” her father asked softly as the driver pulled up and walked around to open the door. Tamrin and her father slipped inside before she responded.
    “Everything is fine. It went perfectly,” she said quickly before the driver got back in. They fell silent as the car started up and began moving. But once they were outside the gate, the driver started checking the rearview mirror too frequently. Tamrin was about to harshly remind him to keep his eyes on the road, but a bad feeling settled in her gut. Turning her head, she saw a car following them.
    Too closely. The car accelerated and bumped them from behind, and Tamrin’s eyes widened when she thought she saw the flash of a gun.
    “Get down!” she shouted. The glass behind them shattered, and her father immediately grabbed her and pulled her down.
    The car began to careen and Tamrin screamed, clutching at the armrest to keep from being thrown off the seat.
    “Are you hit?” her father asked, but before she could answer, the car ran off the road and hit a tree. Tamrin’s seatbelt tightened around her, but she still flew forward and hit her head on the seat in front of her.
    “Dad? Why is someone shooting at us?” Tamrin cried as she struggled with her seatbelt. Her heart hammered against her chest, and she tried to stay in control but her fingers were shaking and she couldn’t find the release.
    Sean reached over and unsnapped her belt. “Stay calm,” he ordered quietly. “Get out on my side of the car, and keep the car between you and the road.” He opened the door and crawled out. After a moment, he gestured for her to follow.
    “The driver?” she croaked. As she glanced back, she saw blood smeared along the seat. The driver was slumped over the steering wheel.
    Her father reached in and pressed his fingers
