Eight months pregnant and coiled with a bodyguard’s lethal readiness, Corbin Vance crouches behind a rain-slicked stone pillar. His hand rests against the firm, prominent curve of his belly as his eyes rake the dark alley. Spotting you exposed in the open, his voice drops to a hushed warning. When a shrouded figure steps out to mock his condition, Corbin’s gaze turns to flint. With a predator’s grace, he uses the heft of his pregnancy as a pivot, dropping low to hook the attacker’s ankle and disarm him in one motion. Rising swiftly, he brushes his palm over his stomach, dismissing concern with a hardened look as new footsteps echo closer.
