Because there was no way she could go back to sleep after this.

Maya staredup at the building. It didn’t look like much. A pretty boring building in an industrial area of the city.

But she’d done some research. These guys were meant to be the best in the business.

Which also meant the most expensive, most likely.

However, she needed some help. It was Tuesday morning and she hadn’t slept since the moment she’d discovered that some asshole, aka Vince, had spray-painted the front of her garage.

She’d thought about going to Reeves, but she couldn’t risk it. There was no way she could fully trust Reeves. And she didn’t want Vince to turn on him for helping her.

Nope. Like usual, she’d have to take care of this herself.

And she’d decided her best course of action was to come here to Callahan Security and get them to put in an expensive security system that she really couldn’t afford.

What else could she do? It wasn’t like her baseball bat was going to provide much protection if Vince came back armed with more than just spray paint.

Fear slid up her spine at the thought.

Her babies relied on her to protect them. Vince could basically do anything and what could she do in retaliation?

Nothing.

But maybe he’d hesitate if she had a camera and an alarm.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she drew it out with a groan.

Great. Her dad. Again.

She groaned. She knew there were worse fathers out there than hers.

He’d never raised a hand to her. Sure, he could get angry. Really angry. Another shudder ran through her. But she’d never gone hungry. Never gone without anything.

Except a father who put her first.

Or believed in her.

So now all you have to do is go inside and ask to speak to someone.

Right.

Only her legs didn’t seem to want to move.

Just go in there. It’s for your babies.

She managed to walk up the stairs to the door. Then she stopped.

Shoot.

“Are you going inside?”

Maya jumped and turned to look at the man standing behind her.

Wow.

He was gorgeous. Dark hair, tanned skin, and tall. Although everyone was tall to her since she was only five foot one.

He wore a dark shirt and jeans. But on him they appeared almost elegant.
