Hated having his motives questioned, his mind probed. He pulled open the door to the Sea Breeze Police Department and showed his ID.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The watch officer took one brief look at Tyler''s face and slid the visitor''s pass across the desk. \"Have a nice day.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tyler resented jumping through hoops for bureaucratic nonsense, and he really couldn''t stand being jerked out of the field until the crazy task had been completed. Crazy because any undercover agent worth his salt could fool a shrink.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But regular evals were part of his job as an undercover agent--at least, they had been part of his job until he''d been exposed by the press after his last case closed. As a bonus, his new job--interim job, he reminded himself--also required a visit to the shrink. Lucky him.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In his experience, shrinks came in two varieties, the cheerful and sympathetic wanna-be-your-friend type and the slice-and-dice, cut-out-the-cancer type. He didn''t like either one, preferring to deal with things on his own time. Or not.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The utilitarian gray halls of the Sea Breeze, Florida, Police Department weren''t complicated, and within minutes of entering the building he found Dr. VanDoren''s second-floor office.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The doctor had a white message board on the outside of the door. Someone had drawn a smiley face on it. Great. VanDoren was one of those.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He pushed the cracked door all the way open, knocking on it with two knuckles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The woman at the desk was on the phone. Lake-blue eyes widened as he entered the room. She pulled an appointment book from a teetering pile on her desk and ran a finger down it, still speaking softly into the phone.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When her finger reached his name, she looked up, giving him a bright smile. She motioned to a chair and raised a finger for him to wait.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He eyed the club chairs. In one she''d left her purse and computer bag. In the other a neat stack of papers and assorted files. He picked up the stack and laid it on the corner of her desk.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tyler relaxed into the soft leather and watched her as she talked on the phone. She''d turned slightly away from him toward the window. As she spoke, her hands moved in animated gestures. Bright April sunlight streamed in, gilding the corkscrew blond curls.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"All right, then. Talk to you later.\" She placed the phone on its cradle. \"What can I do for you?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I''m here to see the doctor.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"About?\" She picked what looked like a random envelope from a stack of mail and sliced into it with a wicked letter opener sporting the police seal on its handle.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He stared unblinking, waiting while she glanced over the sheet of paper before tossing it into the trash can. When she lifted her eyes to meet his again, he said, \"I think I''ll just talk to the doctor--\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She raised one slim eyebrow, a private joke sparkling in her eyes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Right. \"You''re Dr. VanDoren.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Yep.\" The doc picked up another envelope and cut it open, giving the contents a cursory glance before it followed the last one into the trash can.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I bet you''re killer on the witness stand.\" He didn''t stop to think that his words weren''t exactly complimentary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The psychologist tilted her head. \"Defense attorneys do tend to underestimate me.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Another envelope lost its fight with the slick blade in her hand. This one she filed on top of a lopsided pile on her desk before she met his eyes again with a faintly perplexed look, as if surprised to find he was still sitting there. \"So why are you here, Mr. Clark?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Tyler.\" He forced himself to sit still. He''d done the same thousands of times before when he''d been undercover and under the close scrutiny of everyone from drug lords to mafia kingpins.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The doc laid the letter opener on top of a stack of unopened envelopes and turned her full attention to him. \"Tyler, then. What brings you to my office this morning?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She surely had to have been briefed by Captain Conyers, but the rule with shrinks, if there was one, was to play along. With practiced ease, he relaxed into the moment, showing her the person she wanted to see.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I''ve worked undercover for the DEA for the past several years, mostly in Chicago. My cover was blown nationwide during that big bust the SBPD made a few weeks ago. Basically I had two choices. I could work a desk for the DEA or I could go out on my own.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She laced her fingers, leaning forward on her elbows. \"So you decided to go out on your own. What brings you back to Sea Breeze?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"The personal reason--my family is here. Professionally, I know how drug dealers think. I''m here to teach certain techniques to your police force so that they can spot an infiltration into your community before it gets out of control.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Your consulting job isn''t what brought you to my office.\" Doc VanDoren''s wide blue eyes made him want to tell her everything. His life story. His past.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She had some kind of weapon in those eyes. They looked all innocent, making him want to believe she was easily led. She wasn''t.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I''m here because Conyers wants to make sure I haven''t gone over the edge.\" The blunt words lay heavy in the air.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"And have you?\" Her question was equally blunt, unsurprised.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Was the fact that he had to think about it bad?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The doc stood and rounded her desk, her navy-blue skirt swishing as she walked. She sat on the edge of the chair beside him, but didn''t touch him. \"Tyler, whatever you say here won''t go any further. One of the reasons I have a job is to make sure that our law-enforcement personnel have a safe place to talk about the things that happen to them.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tyler cleared his throat and made himself lift his eyes from where her skirt slid to show her knees. The words came with some difficulty. \"I never crossed the line.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Something in his voice must''ve given him away. She narrowed her eyes. \"Okay.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He fought the urge to elaborate. More words just meant more chances to get himself in trouble. He''d learned that early on in undercover work. The less said, the better. People either believed you or they didn''t.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She smiled and a dimple winked just under the left corner of her lips. Cute, that was the word for her. He might''ve asked her out if things were different.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But, he reminded himself, things were different. And real life harder to slip back into every time he came out from under cover.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The doc rubbed one pink-tipped finger across her bottom lip. \"I think I can clear you for work with the department.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tyler took a deep breath. He could hear the hesitation in her voice. \"But...\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"But if you''d like to come in again, the door is always open. Even with breaks, three years is a long time to be undercover.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He had to make a serious effort to calm the resentment that surged at her words and remind himself that he would do what it took because he needed the job.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He needed the time to figure out what he was going to do with the rest of his life. His mother said God had plans for him.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tyler could just imagine those plans. \"I''m fine.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"I''m sure that''s true. Let''s just make a note to check in while you''re readjusting to life on the outside.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He gritted his teeth into a smile. \"Sure thing, Doc.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gracie VanDoren stood. \"I''ll see you in a day or two?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She held out a hand to the ex-special agent. He didn''t think he''d crossed the line. Between her quick eval and the glowing letters of commendation from his superiors at the DEA, she had no reason to suspect he wouldn''t be fine in the field. She just wondered what his definition of \"the line\" was.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He got to his feet. His hand swallowed hers as he held it. Dark eyes studied hers. \"Why wait? Have dinner with me tonight.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She slid her hand from his grasp with a quick smile. \"Thank you for the sweet offer, but I don''t date.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He leaned a shoulder on the door frame, lady-killer smile spread across his face. \"If you don''t date cops, that''s no problem. I''m not a cop.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"It''s not that. I don''t date, period.\" She rounded her desk, putting it between them. The more space the better. She smiled again and picked up the letter opener.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"You don''t...really?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The disbelief on his face would have made her laugh if she hadn''t seen dozens of variations of the same look over the past ten years. She chose not to date. Period.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She had lots of reasons, but the biggest was that she wanted a real relationship, one built on friendship and trust. Mutual faith.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She ignored the little voice inside that whispered, \"Yeah, how''s that been working out for you?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Let me know if you''d like another appointment.\" Gracie reached for the stack of mail on her desk yet to be opened. She knew when he left because the room just felt empty. He was something.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He hadn''t said anything inconsistent, exactly. No huge waving red flags. He seemed remarkably secure, but there was something in his eyes. It was instinct, really, more than anything concrete that made her think he might want to talk. Just something.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gracie sighed and picked up another envelope from the precarious stack on her desk. She sliced into it and slid out a single sheet of paper.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Block letters shouted the message: I CAN''T WAIT UNTIL YOU DIE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Her pulse thudded over the roar in her ears, her breathing short and shallow. Her fingers tightened unconsciously to grip the paper.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"What does it say?\" The deep","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49937934975249,"sku":"CIN0373674597G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50348885573905,"sku":"CIN0373674597A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52103832994065,"sku":"CIN0373674597VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0373674597.jpg?v=1750974482"},{"product_id":"smoke-screen-book-stephanie-newton-9780373443789","title":"Smoke Screen","description":"First, his fiancée was murdered.
