Book Two: Alejandro's Prey

Dance with me.

Bring my demons

to their knees.

"Where's your cousin?" Alejandro approached Casey, eyeing the vicinity for another bright blond head and coming up empty.

"Umm, she's around here somewhere," Casey hedged and didn't look up at him but continued to play with the baby in her lap.

The first indication he had that something was wrong. Casey looked everyone in the eye. She never backed down from any kind of challenge. Unless something was up that she wasn't prepared to discuss. Fuck that. If it involved her delectable cousin, it involved him.

Alejandro hunkered down in front of her and the baby, folding his tall, muscular form close to hers. He wanted to tilt her chin, to force her to look at him while he demanded his answers, but he knew touching would not be tolerated by the boss. He understood, he would feel the same about his own woman.

"Where is she, Casey?" he asked, a dangerous edge to his voice.
