Book Spotlight: The Arrest (Parker's POV)
The encounter with a woman takes a turn for the worse as Parker realizes the truth. She thinks he’s his criminal twin.
Parker drew in a ragged breath, his gut clenching so tight he thought it might shrivel up. Not again. This woman, whoever she was, thought he was Lucas. And she was about to have him arrested. Again.
His pulse jolted, frustration coiling like a whip inside his chest. He lifted his hands slowly and measured, knowing full well how this could go sideways real fast. Had before.
"Hold up," he said, voice clipped. "I don't know what Lucas did to you, but I promise you. I'm not him."
Her glare cut through him like a blade, unyielding.
"I'm his identical twin."
She scoffed, a bitter, flat-out disbelieving sound. "How convenient."
Parker's jaw locked as he exhaled through his nose. He pointed to the small scar above his eyebrow, trying one last time. "Lucas ever have this?" he pressed, keeping his tone firm but restrained.
Her eyes flicked up just for a fraction of a second with a moment of uncertainty. That brief hesitation told him everything. She knew Lucas well enough to know the difference.
Her fingers tightened around her phone. She was still making the call.
He moved for his wallet, ready to yank out his driver's license even if it wouldn't prove much to someone half-crazed with fury. The glint of metal stopped him cold.
Mace. She had mace.
He froze, hands up again, heat burning through his chest. "Do not use that in the stables," he bit out. "You'll spook the horses."
