She must have read the darkness in his eyes. Heather’s death had haunted him for years. Judith took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, turned, and led them out of the library, back to the front door.

She stopped and looked up at him. “Whoever he is, I hope you catch him.”

If he did, the bastard was a dead man. Kade’s jaw hardened. “So do I.”

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

“SO I GUESS YOU’RE BUYING ME A DRINK,” ELLIE SAID AS THE pickup reached the interchange and drove under I-70 to the frontage road that ran along the base of the ski hill. It was already dark, the cold setting in, especially in the mountains.

“We’re trying to find a guy who could have killed both women,” Kade said. “So far, Vail is the only common denominator. Maybe they met him in the same place. The ShakeUp wasn’t around when Heather was alive, but Bullwinkle’s has been here as long as I can remember.”

“We might as well follow the trail as far as it leads.”

Kade nodded. “Bullwinkle’s is basically a local’s joint. Gets lots of tourists in winter, but people who own condos, anybody who spends time in the area winds up there sooner or later.”

There was something in his voice. “Is that where you met Grace?”

He scoffed. “Not her style. I met Grace at The Remedy. It’s in the Four Seasons Resort. That’s where I stay when I’m in town.”

She flicked him a glance. “You’re just full of surprises, Kade Logan. First a fancy white Mercedes. Now I find out you have five-star tastes in hotels.”

His hard mouth faintly curved. “You should have figured that out at the Brown Palace.”

A memory arose of the hours they had spent in the luxurious four-poster bed. She squirmed in her seat, thinking of sex, wanting more of him and trying not to let him know. “Good point.”

His golden eyes met hers and heated as he read her thoughts. “We’ll come back, spend a few days here once things settle down.”

Her heart gave an unexpected lurch. She wanted that, she realized, wanted something that lasted beyond the end-of-the-job farewell she had planned.

The pickup pulled into the lot. Bullwinkle’s was a big wooden structure with plenty of parking. No snow on the mountain yet, but the place was definitely ready to handle the crowds.

“There’s a deck in back that looks out at the slope. During the season, dozens of skiers collect out there after the lifts close. But it’s busy pretty much all year.” He got out of the pickup, walked around to help her out, and they headed inside.
