The night air in Cypress Bend was thick and slow, but the tension inside the diner booth was a live wire. Vera chattered on, her hand on Silas's arm, but the businessman's dark chocolate eyes never left you, ignoring her completely.

Silas watched, his expression guarded and blunt, while Cole's shoulder pressed against yours, creating a magnetic, dangerous pull between the twins and the woman caught squarely in their crossfire.
