He laughed. “He bought the thing a few years back and turned it into one mighty great house. Shame he’s moving back to Queenstown.”

They got out of the car and walked towards the police station entrance. A sudden rush of anxiety swept through her, leaving her hands cold and her heart pounding in her throat.

Taking her hand, Steve said, “You’ll be right. I’m sure there’s a simple explanation to it.”

She let out a puff of air. “With the police ending up at my doorstep wanting information about Hudson, I doubt the explanation is simple.”

With her safety at risk, how will Tiffany overcome her reservations and trust the sexy stranger enough to fly across the Tasman Sea?

Steve parked and turned to look at her. “How about a barbeque at our place tomorrow night? I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to tell you all about his little barn in the middle of nowhere.”

“Barn?”

“I’m telling you we’re having an appointment and that we’ve got to hurry along a bit.”
“How exciting.” Tiffany grabbed her keys, locked the door, and followed him to his car.
Once they were buckled up and on the road, Steve asked, “Have you had any contact with Hudson since?”
“No way. Once bitten, twice shy. Isn’t that what they say?” She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sat straight. “Okay, distract me a bit and tell me about Mat.”
He shook his head. “Sounds like love at first sight. Or hear, I suppose.”
“Oh, my God, no, but I’m curious about him.”
He chuckled. “Mat lived across the road from us in Sydney,” he explained with a shrug. “His dad had been a famous rugby player in New Zealand. The family moved to Sydney where his dad did some coaching. None of them really settled, though. Mat and I stayed in contact since. Liam and I visited him numerous times. I’m hoping to invest in his new business venture. That’s why he’s here.”
“What kind of business?”
Steve parked and turned to look at her. “How about a barbeque at our place tomorrow night? I’m sure he’ll be more than happy to tell you all about his little barn in the middle of nowhere.”
“Barn?”

This week’s Hook …

Opening the door for Steve, she gave him a grateful smile. As usual, he looked stunning with his suntanned face, his light green eyes, and just a shadow of a beard. His Irish red hair was a bit longer nowadays, which was most likely the current fashion, and Tiffany liked it. It gave him a sexier, yet mature look. Their friendship had grown even closer after her trouble with Hudson the previous year. He and Liam had been there for her when the police had knocked on her door and taken her to the station. It had been the worst period in her life. Both men had been by her side, though, caring for her and guiding her through the labyrinth of a legal nightmare.

He probably knew how anxious she was.

“Hi, Tiff,” he said, as he placed a kiss on her cheek. “Sorry, we’ve got to rush a bit. Jessi and I have an appointment in the afternoon.”

“Your girlfriend could show some—”

He held up his hand and his expression turned into a sly grin. “Let’s say we have a situation where I want to keep her stress levels as low as possible.”

She froze and a slow smile curved her lips. “Are you telling me there’s going to be a little Steve junior?”

This week’s Hook …

Her mistake had been to persist instead of leaving and closing the door on their short chapter. When she’d dared to shake her head in disgust, he clipped her across the jaw with a perfect fist. She’d fought hard to stay on her feet, ignoring the intense pain and the dizziness. It hadn’t been a one off. Another hit…and next thing she remembered she’d woken up in hospital.

And now he was causing her trouble again. Though, not directly, it seemed.

An indescribable emotion grew inside her. She stared towards the window and watched the few birds in the back yard. Although anger and worry tried to trickle through her, the emotions inside her were more like an emptiness. It was as if Hudson had never existed during the last twelve months and giving him room inside her, in the form of any emotion, was something she wouldn’t allow to happen.

And, yet, the police thought she had information that could help. Help with what? How? Did she have it in her to help?

When she heard a knock at the front door, she flinched and cursed the unknown situation grating so much on her nerves.

This week’s Hook …

She’d met him over a year ago. He’d been in her business management classes, and she’d liked him straight away. Sexy described him to the dot. His voice, his face, his sense of how to dress, his compliments…she was sure she could come up with more. Yet, his enthusiasm had been lacking, and he’d struggled through classes. Obviously, Tiffany had been happy to help, because hanging out with the wrong crowd, or friends as they called themselves, in school, she’d left after Year 9 with nowhere to go, and she knew how it was. Hudson and Tiffany hung out more and more, until they’d spent a night together. Rolling her eyes at herself, she admitted, yes, perfect was the right word to describe having sex with him. He’d known how and where to touch her, exploring every curve with his mouth, leaving a trail of kisses. The mere thought still sent shivers down her spine, followed by a chill thinking about what had happened the next day. She’d found him in his lounge room, all pale with little pearls of sweat on his forehead. It hadn’t taken her long to figure out the reason for his distress. When she started giving him a lecture about drugs, he’d snapped, throwing a tantrum.

“Focus, Steve. Focus. I need your help.” Her smile turned into a grin despite anxiety spreading through her.

“Okay, I’ll be there in half an hour. You can tell me all about Mel’s stress levels on the way to the police.”

“You first.”

“First what?”

“You’re first to reveal all about your Kiwi friend.”

He snorted and hung up without replying.

Tiffany tried to eat something and although the sandwich in front of her looked delicious with the fresh cucumber, tomatoes, and ham, she wasn’t able to take a bite. Impatient and unable to relax, she went into her bedroom and tidied up while thinking back to the time she had spent with Hudson.

She shrugged, but quickly added, “How the hell would I know?”

Her friend’s sigh alerted her that frustration grew within him, so she told him about the visit earlier in the day in every detail. She looked around the lounge room as she spoke, taking in the bright colours of the painted walls, the small, but rustic fireplace, her sofa and matching armchairs, and the bookshelves, packed with books and photos.

“I’m sorry to bother you with this, but I don’t know where else to go. Mum and Dad will worry themselves sick and won’t be any use. And Liam will go berserk when he finds out the police came to the house again. I’m still glad he didn’t get locked up when he pushed that officer last year. And there’s also the fact that Mel’s stress-o-meter is supposed to stay below zero.”

There was silence at the other end of the line and a smile tugged at Tiffany’s mouth, assuming he got her hint about Liam’s wife.

“Run that by me again?” he finally asked.

This week’s Hook …

“Why haven’t you ever told me about Mat?” Stunned by her own question, she slapped her forehead a few times wondering where the question had come from — especially as matters more important were on hand.

There was a quiet chuckle on the other end of the line, and she was momentarily struck by a bout of embarrassment.

“Your problem can’t be too bad,” Steve replied with a hint of sarcasm.

Ignoring his comment, she said, “The police was here asking about Hudson.”

Silence hung in the air before he replied, “Shit. No wonder I’ve had so many missed calls.”

“Not to mention the amount of time I tried to get hold of you on your landline. So who the hell is this guy, and why did he answer your phone?”

“First things first, tell me about the police.”

Tiffany headed into the lounge room and sat on the couch. “As I said already, they turned up here this morning wanting to know about Hudson.”

“Why?”

This week’s Hook …

The whistling kettle drew her back from her thoughts, and she filled her cup. Dipping the teabag in and out of the water, she recalled her conversation with Steve earlier in the day when he’d finally returned her call.

“What’s up, Tiff? I’ve got about three missed calls here,” he had asked, not giving her a chance to even say hello.

Just hearing his voice sent a jolt of relief through her, almost catching her breath. After all, most of her problems weren’t half as bad once Steve was there to help. Despite him being her brother Liam’s best friend, Steve and Tiffany had become close during the year Liam had gone to London for a gap year.
