Zachary recognized it immediately-it was one of the Jaguars from his garage. He turned and walked in the opposite direction, his coat draped over his arm.

Through the car's front windshield, he spotted Lenora, leaning back in the seat, arms crossed over her chest, watching him calmly.

Circling around to the other side, Zachary opened the passenger door and slid in. "How long have you been here? Why didn't you call me?" he asked. Lenora started the car. "Not too long. But you were a litle busy being swooned over-how could you have noticed me?"

He had been drugged.

Zachary hadn't expected this move from Lola. Beneath the simmering anger, he felt a strange, subtle satisfaction.
