Committed (27 page)

I ran my line of sight across the countertop—salad, the fancy plates, a small loaf of bread and oil, the nice wine glasses. Something was up. I quickly checked my mental calendar and confirmed that it was neither our anniversary or either of our birthdays.

“This looks like quite the production you have going on,” I said. “What occasion did I forget?”

“None.”

“So you’re trying to butter me up for something, then?”

“Not at all. I just wanted to have a nice dinner, a glass of wine… I don’t know, maybe talk a little.”

The phrase
talk a little
grabbed my attention.

“What’s the topic of this talk?” I asked.

“You caught that part?” Karen didn’t lift her eyes from the pan she was stirring in front of her.

“I did.”

She looked up at me and smiled. “Adoption.”

Thank you!

Do you know Lieutenant Kane?

The Lieutenant Kane series follows a Tampa homicide lieutenant on and off duty over the better part of a year—though if that was reality, I think anyone who worked law enforcement and had a year like he did would be turning in their resignation. Through the story arc of the six-book series, you see Lieutenant Kane go toe-to-toe with some of the most twisted, homicidal, and downright ruthless adversaries imaginable—all while doing his best to juggle his often-turbulent personal life.

Malevolent
