“I didn’t say we’d have sed “It’s your choice, Elizabeth You can co until the bastards take you down and take Cassie away from you”

She drew in a hard, deep breath Dash knew she are that eventually she would fail She didn’t have the connections or the power to protect herself and her child She was a wo exactly what that meant

“And how do I know I can trust you?” she asked hily “I don’t know you, Mr Sinclair, and I sure as hell don’t believe you would chase us for six oodness of your heart”

Dash glanced down at Cassie When he returned his gaze to Elizabeth he knew his own anger was flaring in the depths of his eyes

“Wrong, lady” He wanted to groith the strength of his sense of ownership toward the two females “She saved my worthless life when it didn’t matter to anyone but her And I’ll be damned if I’ll let her or the mother she loves die Now it’s your choice if you cooes with me”

Her eyes widened in incredulity

“Are you insane?” she finally asked him curiously “Or do you just have a death wish, Mr Sinclair? If you knohat I’et tothe next bloody body he leaves in his wake?”

She was s condescension in her expression and her voice would have given any other man pause

“Actually, I was thinkinghim the next bloody body I leave in my wake,” he said casually “Make no ht down”
