confused.”
    “The guys I ran from when I killed Luther Frost… that’s who Adrian is protecting me from.” He focused on a flaw in the wood floor, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get through the story if he thought too much about the danger he was putting her in.
    “Luther was a bad cop. All the commendations and medals… Lies.” He gripped the desk chair beside him and bored his gaze into the knot. “I was undercover—”
    “I know that. Irish mob. Boston. You had to execute someone to move up in the organization.” She reached for him and Luther backed up, but she kept coming. As soon as her skin was on his again, his inner resolve faded. “It’s something they make undercover cops do. You become a criminal. ‘We own you.’”
    “How do you know all this?” He tried to shake off her touch, but couldn’t.
    “I told you.” She grabbed his face with both hands. “I’m that good, Chris Parker.”
    “Don’t call me that.”
    “But that’s who you are. You’re the guy who went undercover because of your connections to Whitey Bolger. You’re the guy who decided to take down the Irish mob all by yourself.” Her eyes glistened. “That man is a good man.”
    “You don’t understand.”
    “Stop.” She gripped him hard. “Your running away is done. You’re going to help us, and you’re going to leave both Luther and Chris behind on that island, and you’re going to be my mate for a hundred years.”
    Her features were so set, her words so certain. He could almost believe her.
    He wanted to believe her.
    He needed her to be telling him the truth.
    “All right, then, Maggie.” He paused, searching for the words. “Shit, I just realized, I don’t know your last name.”
    A grin brightened her face. “Cheeky bastard.” She kissed him and whispered into his ear, “It’s Gallagher. Maggie Gallagher.”
    Luther slipped his arms around her and held her tight. His mate . Whatever the hell that meant. He was going to be safe.
    He was going to be a new man for her.

    L uther unlocked the main cabin control panel and stepped back to let Maggie dig around. She pushed buttons and brought up screens he’d never even seen before. But after a few minutes, she stepped back and chewed the end of one finger.
    “This can’t be right.” She typed in another command and the home screen appeared. A few more keystrokes, and another blank screen. “Are your employee records on here?”
    “Why do you need those?” He settled back into the Captain’s chair.
    “I’m going to need all the specs. Employees, schedules, patrol rotations—”
    He grabbed her typing hand. “Patrol rotations?”
    “I know there are guards who patrol the island, but the camera angles aren’t comprehensive anywhere except the coast.” She shook her head. “He’s got a camera on every single inch of water, practically, but then when it comes to the island itself, I couldn’t get a good schematic of the layout.”
    Luther clicked open a cabinet under the chair and pulled out the chart. He unrolled it across the boat controls, but Maggie barely glanced at it.
    “Not the coast.” She waved her hand. “I’ve got that coastline memorized.”
    “You mean, the building locations? That’s what you need?” He rolled up the chart and hit the paper against his leg with a thwack-thwack that filled the silence while Maggie considered.
    “And layouts.” She typed in a few more keystrokes and the display went dead. “I haven’t been able to find them anywhere.”
    “That’s because they don’t exist.” He stuck the chart back in the cabinet.
    She glanced inside the little storage locker and frowned. “Who built the house? Maybe they have plans.”
    “I don’t know.” Luther turned the lock and leaned back in the chair.
    “Well, maybe you can describe it to me.” She took the first mate seat and he couldn’t help smiling.
    It was a strange feeling, having a woman in the main cabin. He could get used to
