ZANE LOVED THIS OLD HOUSE. It represented everything that he’d never had
as a child. Love. Warmth. Security. Happiness. The massive, three-story
structure had once been in the family, but had been sold after the death of
his grandfather fifteen years ago. Zane owned the house now, and he
intended to make up for the years of neglect it had suffered.

He leaned against the support column on the wide veranda that circled
the grand home. As it had in his childhood, the view of Lake Michigan
mesmerized him, calming his spirit. There was peace here, something that
had been sadly lacking in his life up to this point. He was a man who’d
willingly involved himself in war, and over the years he’d been paid
handsomely for his services.
Almost unconsciously, he rubbed the ache in his injured leg. The pain
worsened as the day progressed, not that he minded the discomfort. It
reminded him that he was alive and that two of his men, two of his friends,
were not. It reminded him that he had yet to seek his vengeance.
Zane walked to the end of the porch, recalling his days as a child when
he’d raced with careless abandon across the lush green lawn. There would
be no more children chasing butterflies and dreams here. No children who
would hide on the limbs of the maple tree and imitate the chatter of the
birds. At least none he would father.
The state of disrepair that had fallen upon the house had shocked Zane.
The housekeeper he’d hired five months earlier to care for the place had
said little of its condition. Upon his arrival three months ago, Zane
immediately ordered repairs. It soon became evident that a new furnace and
updated electrical system would only scratch the surface of what was
required.
That was when he’d decided to call Jordan Larabee, a good friend and a
well-known Chicago contractor. Jordan had recommended that Lesley
Walker, an architect, have a look at the house and offer suggestions. Zane
agreed to talk to the woman.
He had to admit that he was going through a lot of trouble and expense
for a house he didn’t plan to live in long enough to enjoy.
A car turned off the main road and into his driveway. Zane checked his
watch. Lesley Walker was punctual—he’d say that for her. The car slowed
and pulled to a stop in the circular driveway in front of the house.
The door to the driver’s side opened and one long, shapely leg appeared.
The body that followed fulfilled the promise of that one leg. The woman
was tall, agile and strikingly attractive. She wore a gray business suit: jacket
and pencil skirt. Zane approved. Her chestnut-colored hair bounced against
the top of her shoulders as she turned toward him. Her deep, dark eyes met
his and she was unable to hide her shock.
Occasionally Zane forgot about the scar that marked his face. It started
at the corner of his left eye and cut a jagged line that crisscrossed down his
cheek, ending below his lip. The scar, like the ache in his leg, was a
reminder of a debt yet to be collected.
