She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 148

And he was from Glenwood. That was a whole other jurisdiction, and considering the assassin from earlier, odds were, it had to be that bastard.

If she died, Hector wouldn’t have to keep his promise. He could also hold onto his King of the Road title.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Sabrina ignored his question, her voice calm and detached. “I think I know who’s behind it.”

“Who?” Bryce immediately dropped his lazy demeanor, a chill running down his spine.

They’d survived life and death together tonight—he wasn’t about to let this slide.

Someone had dared to target his friends. That was a death wish.
