the wrong way. Maybe if he stopped trying so hard his love life would jump by leaps and bounds.
    Yet, it wasn’t her place to tell him anything about his personal life whether it was good or bad. They had to stay totally professional with each other. His lack of companionship wasn’t her fault, so why was she even wasting her energy thinking about it?
    Okay, enough about Dr. David. Emerald needed to focus on getting the body prepared for viewing, so Rex’s parents could see him. She didn’t want any kind of autopsy instruments lying out in the open for the parents to see.

    An hour later, Emerald walked around the room making sure everything was in its place for the family’s arrival. Without a doubt, the most difficult part of her job was dealing with the family members left behind after a sudden death.
    She could handle dead bodies because those people were already gone and in a better place. Yet, even after doing this job for close to six years dealing with crying parents or family members, it always got to her and the suicide deaths were, by far, the worst.
    “Excuse me, is Dr. David here?” a male voice asked behind her.
    Twirling around, Emerald’s body stiffened in disbelief. Her breath caught in her lungs as she gaped wordlessly at the gorgeous cop standing across the room. Her heart pounded away in her chest like she’d just finished running a twenty mile marathon.
    Wave after wave of shock slapped at her as she tried to comprehend what was right before her eyes. However, she could only stare at him, tongue-tied.
    No! It couldn’t be him!
    Emerald hadn’t laid eyes on him since that night. She doubted he even remember her after all of this time. Why would he? She hadn’t meant anything to him... Nothing at all.
    She felt another shock run through her already over stimulated body as his eyes raked over her body. How in the hell out of all the places for Chance Cutter to end up, why did it have to be here?

    She’s absolutely stunning.
    Chance Cutter couldn’t help the first thought that left his mind the instant the attractive black woman spun and looked in his direction. He had overheard his buddies talking about the hot assistant medical examiner working with Dr. David, but he hadn’t laid eyes on her until now.
    Now, he saw what all the gossip was about. Her light brown eyes held his like she actually knew his thoughts about her. But instead of the usual interest he had gotten accustomed to seeing in the opposite sexes’ eyes hers held something more like a dislike for him, but Chance didn’t understand where the hostility was coming from.
    Could she be upset that it had taken him so long to bring Rex Hamilton’s parent here? Rex’s mother had taken the news harder than he thought she would. This made it more difficult to get her calmed down enough to even agree to come down here.
    Chance could only guess that was the problem she had with him.
    “I want to apologize for being late, but I was wondering, is Dr. David still around?” Chance asked again. “I’ve bought Rex’s parents to view his body and make a positive ID. They’re waiting outside in the hallway for me to come back. I just didn’t want them to walk in on something they shouldn’t see.”
    He waited while the woman continued to stare at him like she had just seen a ghost. What was wrong with her ? Was there something on his skin that he wasn’t aware of? Reaching up, Chance ran his hand over his entire face.
    Removing it, he looked down at it but he didn’t see anything on it. Yet, there was something up with her, but he couldn’t take the time to figure it out right now.
    Frustrated by her silence, Chance charged ahead with his next question. “Miss, what is going on with you? Should I know something you aren’t telling me? Can I speak to your boss or not because you don’t seem to have the ability to answer any of my questions. I don’t have the time for you just to stand here and
