She walked into the small room. “I think I’m going to throw up if there is one in here.”

“I might have to kill this guy if there is.”

“Zara said two were in my room. I don’t always change in the bedroom, but I do on a regular basis.”

Logan’s blood ran hot. Whoever this jerk was, he had gone too far. And if there was a camera in the bathroom too …

Logan and AJ looked through the bathroom but didn’t find anything obvious. Not that any of them had been obvious. The tiny little cameras operated on a battery and sent out the signal wirelessly. There was one place he hadn’t checked yet.

“Do you have a step stool?”

“I’ll get it.” AJ disappeared for a moment and then arrived back and handed him the stool.

After unfolding it, he climbed the first step and popped the cover off the exhaust fan.

Inside was another tiny camera. It took all his willpower not to crush the vile little device.

AJ wrapped her arms around her waist. “So, not only did he come into my home, but he’s been watching me? How long?”

Logan shook his head. “There’s no way of knowing. I mean we can find out what the battery life is on these things and that will give us a slight idea, but …”

They went out to the living room, and Logan handed Adam the camera from the bathroom.

Will’s face turned bright red. “Oh, you have got to be kidding me!”

AJ said, “Unfortunately, no.”

Will clenched his fist in front of him. “If I get my hands on this guy—”

AJ touched his arm and nodded to Zara, who had gone pale. Will turned to her and drew her to his chest.

AJ spun to Logan. The anger and fear that mixed together in her eyes was a force he was glad he wasn’t the target of.

He rested his hand on her shoulder. “We’ll get him. I will do everything in my power to.”

Was he going to be able to protect her? This stalker had taken things from a “romantic” level to one driven by much more carnal desires, and from there it wouldn’t be a leap to violence.

But Logan couldn’t be with AJ all the time.

And Zara. After all she had been through recently, she looked like she was going to crumble. Even if she wasn’t directly being targeted, her space had been violated, again.

They needed to get to the bottom of this before anything worse happened.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

AJ hit the stop button on Granny’s timer before removing the chicken and rice casserole from the oven. After finding all the cameras in her apartment last night, she refused to be there alone, so she’d asked Granny if she’d like some company for the evening while Logan and Zara both worked second shift.

“I think it’s ready, Granny.”

The older woman shuffled into the kitchen. “It smells amazing.” She came up beside AJ. “And it looks beautiful too. I’ll get the salad out.”

They fixed the salad and their plates, then sat at the dining room table.

The casserole was entirely too hot to eat. After Granny prayed, she said, “Tell me about what’s changed with you and Logan. Because I happened to look out the window yesterday afternoon and saw him coming back to the apartment with you. I want all the particulars.”

AJ chuckled and poked at the too-hot casserole while telling Granny all the details from the last four days. She knew about the fire, but AJ hadn’t had the opportunity to tell her everything.

“You know I want more than the facts, dear. How do you feel about it all?”
