Violet Amelia Connor, known to all as Leah, is a
landscape designer who inherited her love of gardening from the eccentric aunt
she lives with. Leah is contracted to work on the garden of Private
Investigator Sean Russel and unwittingly becomes embroiled in the handsome PI’s
cases. A series of unpleasant experiences land her in real trouble where she is
kidnapped, bashed, bound and altogether becomes a party to such mayhem she is
forced to wonder how she ever got mixed up in this mess. But her indomitable
spirit, obstinate nature, and incurable sense of humor enable her to override
all obstacles. And of course there is her overwhelming attraction for Sean
Russel that started it all.
Previously published as Shrinking Violet this book
was a finalist in the Romance Writers of Australia’s Romantic Book of The Year
in 2006.
“What the bloody hell
are you doing here?”
Well, what a welcome?
Not nice to see you, glad you came along to help, but an accusatory question
fired at me.
“I went back to your
house and Craig and Baldy were there searching it. What are they after? They seem
very pissed off with you.”
“They were at my house
again?” He slumped on the floor, his back against the wall. The one window in
this room appeared to have slats of wood fastened across it on the outside.
Light seeped in through gaps. As my eyes grew accustomed to the dimness I could
make out his features.
“Yes, I went back
there after taking your sister home. Lord, now there’s going to be trouble.” I
scratched at my head. The cap I always wore while working was gone, and the
band usually pulling my hair back into a ponytail was also gone. My hair
flopped about my shoulders, and I pushed it back irritably.
“You mean more trouble
than we already find ourselves in?” He sounded amused. Which struck me as odd
considering the position we were in.
“Oh yes, a whole lot
more.” I sat beside him, my hands drooping between my bent knees. “They left a
note for Sadie. She’s supposed to be getting a million dollars together by
six.”
“A million?” He wasn’t
laughing now. Real concern colored his voice.
“And I was going to
deliver it. I told her to cut up some newspapers to put underneath a few
notes.”
He stared at me and I
shifted uncomfortably. “You’ve been watching too many cop shows on TV.”
“Well, they said not
to tell the cops or you would die. And if she went to the bank to draw out that
sort of cash they would surely get suspicious and call the police, wouldn’t you
say?”
“Hmm.”
Is that all he had to
say? Seemed so, for he sat staring at nothing in particular. “Your sister won’t
have a clue what to do without me.”
“That’s a fact.” He
ran both hands through his hair. “We have to get out of here.”
Talk about stating the
obvious. “Of course we do, but you don’t seem to have had much luck so far. Why
didn’t you try anything while you just had the idiot called Aggro watching over
you?”
“I didn’t know he was
alone, did I?” I’d pricked his male pride for he sounded quite put out.
“So, what were they
looking for at your house?”
He sighed heavily.
This close I could see that his lip was split again. Those beautiful lips of
his sure were taking a battering. I might suggest kissing him better, but
decided against it. Now wasn’t the time for frivolity.
