the necessary information about the man's relatives.
    "Argh-hhh!" I could scream, nonstop, if only the headaches would quit. Have to remember to take the pills. Hell. I need a clear head for this. Okay…okay, let me think.
    Nicole needs a reality check. She has learned all the wrong values, but it's not too late for her to grasp the concept of heritage. Still in her first trimester, abortion is a viable solution. While word on the street alleges her father has disappeared, and considering the bastard's profession, more than likely, one of the other crime families has disposed of him. Without her father's influence or protection, Nicole will learn to see reason.
    Just need to find the bitch.

    Chapter 2
    It was hot as hell.
    Yet, Devin lay awake fully clothed watching the reflection of the neon sign across the street illuminate the wall opposite his bed at regular intervals. It annoyed him, but he didn't dare get bare-assed naked--his preferred method of sleeping--or close his eyes for fear of falling asleep. This time out, the assignment required he remain on alert, clothes on. Besides, undressing didn't guarantee sleep.
    Since meeting Ewyn, when Devin went on prolonged ops, if he managed to close his eyes, thoughts and images of Ewyn would flood his mind. Unfastening his jeans, his hand would slip beneath the material, release his cock from its confinement, then relive their nights together, which always led to several bouts of satisfying masturbation. You'd think he'd fall asleep after, but sleep would remain elusive because memories of those other hellish events that became part of their lives would resurface, too.
    Damn.
    Devin sighed and rolled off the bed. Hands shoved down in his pockets, he strolled over to the window and stared out at the flickering neon light and the deserted streets.
    His first long-term op since the attempt on Ewyn's life, and hell, he missed Ewyn something fierce. It must be time to get off the front line when his operations didn't have his absolute focus because it unsettled him when he had to leave Ewyn alone. Shit. Mick and Taggart lived nearby and Ewyn had proven he could take care of himself with the skill and resolve of a covert op. Yet Devin couldn't shake the irrational fear Ewyn wasn't safe. Was he being paranoid, or what?
    Hell. After surviving those disturbing getting-to-know-each-other exploits, what else could happen?

    The ambulance pulled away just as Ewyn's Mustang screeched to a stop. He jumped from the car and rushed toward the people milling about the scene.
    This cannot be happening.
    Both nieces critically injured. What were they doing out on the highway at this time of night? Were they coming home, just before midterms, with no warning, no phone calls? They always called him or Gemma when they were coming home. How long had it been since he'd spoken to either of them, about a month? And if they weren't coming home--damn, babbling .
    Ewyn approached the cop cordoning off the accident scene.
    "Sir, you'll have to stay behind the tape."
    "I'm the uncle. Someone called me…how bad…" Holy hell. Ewyn stared in stunned disbelief. The car was a mangled mess. How could anyone have survived? "Where are they? Which hospital? Please!"
    "St. Bernadine's and you'd better hurry. The paramedics had little hope of the young lady surviving and even less hope for the baby."
    "Young lady?" Ewyn snapped. "There's supposed to be two. The caller said two…weren't two women in the car. And what do you mean, baby," he growled. "Whose baby?"
    "Calm down, sir. The young lady is pregnant and pretty close to term according to the--"
    With tears welling up in his eyes, Ewyn took off running.
    "Sir…sir!"
    Ignoring shouts from the officer and other police personnel who scrambled to get out of his way, Ewyn hopped into his Mustang, swiped the tears from his cheeks, and peeled out.
    Damn. A baby. Which niece, and why didn't she tell him…hell, what was he thinking? Why would his nieces confide
