Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1516

“How many months has it been?”

“More than a few.”

Maja just stared. Conner’s men, like Conner himself, made her skin crawl.

“Let’s move. If the Dark Web tracks us down again, you’ll be running for your life—again.”

Dawn was breaking as they finally emerged from the mountains.

Oddly enough, Maja was certain now that Conner wasn’t going to hurt her. Even with her hands tied in the back seat, she felt a wave of relief—like she’d just dodged something far worse.

As their car pulled away, another pack of men, faces hard and dangerous, arrived at the cabin.

They stepped into the empty, ransacked room. The dust was trampled, and a set of women’s footprints stood out clearly on the floorboards.

“She slipped away again! Maja’s always one step ahead!”

The leader crouched, examining the unique shoe print. “No. Conner’s team got here first.”

“So what’s our next move?”

“A head-on fight’s a dead end. We’ve got her man—let’s take him back to the Dark Web.”

“What?”

In her room, Maja heard the report. Her eyes, dull and resigned a second ago, suddenly sparked with life. Her bound hands clenched behind her back.

Newtown.

“What?” Conner hadn’t slept a wink—he’d just closed his eyes when the phone woke him, and the next call had him sitting bolt upright.

“Boss, you sound just as shocked as I was.”

Conner’s sleepiness vanished. He lit a cigarette, took a long drag. “You’re saying Dean is my brother-in-law? No way.”
