As she spoke, her small hand landed on his body. "You're burning up like a furnace..."

"I was drugged," he said hoarsely.

Hailey's long lashes fluttered as her eyes widened in shock. "You've been drugged again?"

She emphasized the word "again" because this wasn't the first time Declan had fallen victim to such a scheme.

Declan looked at her but said nothing.
