“I know you’re scared, but there is no need. I’m about to open up your world.”

Pressing her lips together, her eyes fill with tears, but she doesn’t stop shoving clothes in her bag.

“You are going to love what I have planned,” I tell her.

Freezing for a second, she sucks in a breath. But it only takes her a second to recover before she continues packing some things.

“Hurry up,” I prompt.

She zips her bag and stands. “Don’t hurt me, Evan.”

What the hell does she think I am?

I close the distance between us. “I love you. That very first time I saw you, I knew there was something special about you. I felt it. We’re the same, only you haven’t let it out yet.”

“What?” she sputters.

“You’re so strong. You can take so much. Let yourself free, Piper. I’ll teach you. We’re going to start again. You and me, with the help of Caleb. We’re moving on to bigger things. We’re rebuilding. It’ll be bigger and better, and it’ll be you and me in the driver’s seat.”

With Piper at my side, there will be no stopping us. We can do whatever we want, no one to stop us and nothing to hold us back.

She looks up at me unsure, but that doesn’t stop her from throwing her bag over her shoulder.

“Let’s go, babe.” I grin.

We’re going to be one killer team.

Acknowledgments

I first need to say a big thank-you to my husband and our two boys for supporting me. I love you guys.

To my Facebook reader group, who are so enthusiastic whenever I talk about a new book. Speaking to you always inspires me to write.

My editors at Sourcebooks: Annette Pollert-Morgan, Steve Geck, and Cassie Gutman, thank you for your hard work in helping me shape this manuscript. And to Nicole Hower (cover is GORGEOUS!), and everyone else who has worked on this book. I’m sorry that I don’t know you all personally, but I appreciate all that you do for me.

And lastly, to the readers. Thank you so much for picking up The Lost. I hope you enjoyed the journey in my little house of horrors.
