against it, silently groaning.
For months he’d been dying to meet her, and then she’d moved out of the damned
building. By chance, he’d been working on a job a few doors down from her new place
when he’d seen her and her redheaded friend entering an older home on The Hill. An
inquiry online had shown him she’d purchased the quaint home herself, no other names
