In Lucas Walker's world, everything was straightforward.
If he liked something, he would go all out to protect it.
If he disliked it, he would annihilate it.
He couldn't understand Ivana Bennett's approach.
In the more than twenty hours since they had parted, he had had time to accomplish many things.
Such as: leveraging the shipping information from a kitten to find Ivana's details, and then using this to further ascertain her information, finding her real identity and social circle...
This, of course, included her address and the man whom Ivana was in closest contact with—Aren.
The first thing Lucas Walker did when he arrived in New York was to find Ivana, but because Ivana was flying in circles, he arrived in New York before she did.
He came looking for Aren only after he couldn't find her.
His intent was clear—to kill.
And the reason was quite simple—he did not like Aren's existence.
