This Is Where I Sleep Read Online Free PDF

as I peered down at my cousin over the massive Cherrywood desk in my office. I had just learned that my cousin, who was like a brother to me, had gone behind my back and done the one thing he knew would piss me off to no end. As I stood there contemplating leaping over my desk to snatch him out of his seat, he had the nerve to look me with an air of nonchalance.
    “Be careful, cousin. It’s been a few years since you’ve been in battle. I wouldn’t do what your eyes are telling me you’re considering doing,” Jeremy warned. But if he thought he intimidated me, he’d better think again.
    “I will kick your ass for this. Why the hell would you do this?” I folded my arms over my chest to keep them from wrapping around Jeremy’s damn neck. I was confused as to why Jeremy would go all the way to Savannah to hire Coral and her family to help our company out of this situation.
    “Because Jones & Associates Security is one of the best at what they do.” He shrugged.
    Coral’s company specialized in high-end security contracts, private investigations, and a whole host of “special favors” that were often needed by powerful business and political leaders. I’d been doing my own research on her company. On the one hand, I knew that they, particularly Coral, could help find whoever was behind threatening my company. On the other hand, I feared that Coral would be too good at her job, putting her right in the center of danger. I’d spent the past five years away from her trying to keep her out of danger. Of course, that had backfired. Not only had I spent five years without the woman I loved, but she ended up taking on a career that was extremely dangerous. From my own research, I found out that she’d opened the firm with her cousins only in the last year and a half, which still left three years I’d spent searching for her after I left. I had my suspicions on what she’d spent those years doing, and I wanted to kick myself for ever letting her out of my sight.
    “You and I both know Coral is the right person to handle this job. We need answers and from the research I’ve done, Jones & Associates will help us get those answers. We need to get to the bottom of whoever killed Larry,” Jeremy implored.
    I knew he was right about getting to whoever was behind our company’s problematic financials. The person who in all likelihood was responsible for Larry’s death. I took tha t personally. Since becoming the head of Bennett Industries five years ago, I prided myself on expanding not only the oil, gas operations, and the expansion into the hospitality world, but to also treat my employees very well—the opposite of how my father treated anyone he deemed below him. 
    Jeremy was the head of our hospitality division, running our ten hotels located throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arizona and Southern California. I’d made it my mission to bring Bennett Industries into the twenty-first century by focusing on renewable energy sources, and expanding our portfolio so that oil wasn’t our only source of revenue. So far, I’d done a good job, and that meant the first step of my original plan was working out well.
    “There are thousands of security firms in this damn country. You just had to pick the one that I wouldn’t want working this case. What the fuck are you trying to do?”
    I tried hard to restrain my anger, but I knew I was close to shouting. The longer he sat there with that smug look on his face, the more I contemplated how long it would take me to beat his ass before my assistant became alarmed by the noise and called security.
    “You know as well as I do that they are the most qualified.” Jeremy leveled his green eyes at me and frowned. “You’ve been on this shit long enough. It’s time you do what you set out to do more than five years ago and go get your woman.”
    As if it were that simple.
    “You have no idea—”             
    “Oh, I have an idea alright. I remember exactly why
