       “You’re more than one of my agents now. You’re my wife.”

      The teasing light warmed in her beautiful eyes, and he felt a thrill over assessing her correctly.

      He stopped. She faced him and a long, silent moment filled the energy between them. Lifting his hand, he caressed her cheek with his thumb.

      “You’re going to make a great mom.”

      Her slow blink told him she received his comment favorably, in opposition to her choice in profession. Maybe he’d overgeneralized. Women could take on any type of career and be great moms. Jocelyn’s case differed in how she’d come to her decision. It didn’t matter. She fascinated him.

      Without any thought over why he shouldn’t, Trevor leaned in and kissed her.

      “It’s not her.” Trevor Colton strolled around the body lying on blood-soaked carpet next to the bed.

      Evidence of a violent fight for life cluttered the scene, a tipped-over lamp and chair, broken picture glass and the item that had prompted the call to him. A red permanent marker lay on the floor where a pen and pencil jar had fallen from a small desk crammed next to a dresser. That, in addition to the first letter of the victim’s name, had alerted him and his team that this could be the work of the Alphabet Killer. As soon as Trevor saw the scene, however, he didn’t agree.

      When his most promising agent didn’t respond, he turned to see Jocelyn Locke staring at the body, one arm folded against her ribs, the other propped on top, fingers curled at her lips.

      Since when did she get queasy at crime scenes? The bloody body and overall gore surrounding what had once been Jane McDonald would shock anyone not familiar with this line of work. Jocelyn was a trained FBI agent, still a rookie, but this wasn’t her first murder case. Trevor enjoyed training her, molding her into an excellent detective. He ignored the little voice that taunted he liked something else about her, too.

      She noticed him scrutinizing her. Lowering her hand, she asked, “What?”

      Whatever had her disturbed abruptly disappeared. He decided to let it pass for now. They had work to do.

      “Our subject didn’t do this,” he said. “Someone who once loved her did this. A man. Husband. Lover.” He pointed to the stab wounds. “See how many times he stabbed her? Twenty or twenty-five times. Look at her chest. It’s shredded.”
