I mean serious scorch. Then someone from their past comes into their present to try and take it all away. The whole Hard family will have to gather first to protect and then to celebrate. I so love this family that I've laughed and cried and swooned with along the way. I so enjoyed this part of their story.

Excerpt
Nick nailed Becca with a stare. As he watched, she made a
valiant effort to button up just how upset she was, and that made him worry
even more. He knelt down in front of her, his hands on her knees. “What’s going
on?”
She shook her head, and his heart fucking broke as he saw
her struggle to find her voice and hold back the tears.
Kat grasped something from Becca’s lap and held it out to
him. “Someone left this in front of Becca’s locker at work today.”
Frowning, Nick accepted the small, floppy, black-and-brown
stuffed animal into his hand. He guessed it was supposed to be a German
shepherd, and the damn thing was missing a leg. It looked like someone had cut
the back leg off and stapled the opening closed. What the hell?
“Look at the neck, Nick,” Kat said, her voice serious.
He flipped it around, and that was when he noticed that the
animal was so floppy because the head was connected to the body only by a thin
strip of material along the back. He might not have thought much about that if
someone hadn’t gone to the trouble of spray painting the torn opening red. As
if the neck had been slit.
“Sonofabitch,” he said, hot prickles running down his back. “Talk to me,
Sunshine.”
She heaved a deep breath. “I found it at the end of my
shift,” she said. “I went to get my stuff, and this was sitting upright on the
floor in front of my locker. I thought someone had left me a present until . .
.”
“This is fucking twisted,” Kat bit out.
The words echoed Nick’s own thoughts. Twisted and
threatening. The removed leg was clearly meant to communicate that the person
knew Becca’s dog had only three legs, which made the threat personal and
specific.
“Did you talk to security about this?” he asked, making sure
to keep his voice even.
Becca shook her head. “I was so freaked out, I just wanted
to get out of there.”
“I didn’t know about this until just now, or I would’ve
brought us home earlier,” Kat said.
“I’m sorry,” Becca said, turning to Nick’s sister. “I just
wanted to forget about it for a few hours.”
“I know,” Kat said. “You don’t have to apologize, but I’m
worried about this.”
Nick nodded. “Can you think of anyone at the hospital who
would do this? Who would have a problem with you?”
