This November Kate
SeRine releases the first in her riveting new romantic suspense series, Stop
at Nothing. To celebrate, the hero of Stop at Nothing, FBI Agent Kyle Dawson, has agreed to answer a
quick Q&A for us!
What’s your ideal
Saturday like?
When Abby and I are both off on a Saturday, we like to stay
in bed late, getting in a little quality time together... Then we usually just
like to hang out all day together—maybe hop in the car and drive around, do
whatever. Sometimes we’ll meet up with my brothers later for a beer or go see
Abby’s sister and nephew for a while or maybe just go for a hike or something.
Our schedules can be so hectic, we try not to over plan—just be spontaneous and
see where we end up. Sometimes we never even make it out of bed at all...
An Excerpt:
Sweetheart.
Abby suppressed a shudder as that one word speared straight
through the heart. When Kyle Dawson had suddenly appeared in the doorway of her
sister’s living room, she’d thought she was hallucinating. But there he was,
coming to her when she most desperately longed for him, his black brows drawn
together in a frown, the already angular planes of his face even harsher in his
distress.
Kyle ducked down a little so he was at eye level with her, those
intense sapphire blue eyes showing the depth of his concern as he searched her
gaze. “Abby?”
“I interrupted the intruder,” she explained, her gaze flitting
briefly toward the Sheriff, who’d looked skeptical from the start and was
giving her the stink-eye even now. She cleared her throat a couple of times,
before adding, “We scuffled. He got away.”
Kyle nodded, his eyes narrowed. “Was that before or after he cut
the power to the house and managed to get by the alarm system?”
She should’ve known Kyle would see through her story. He seemed to
have almost a sixth sense when it came to crime scenes. But the photo of Emma
bound and gagged suddenly came to mind, her concern for Emma’s safety
preventing Abby from confiding in Kyle.
“Clearly, he’d done his homework and had been casing the place,
watching for an opportunity to break in when the family was out of town,” she
said.
That at least wasn’t a lie. The guy had been prepared. He’d known
exactly what he was doing. And she’d hazard a guess that he’d also known Curtis
was out of town and that Abby and Tyler were there alone.
Speaking
of Curtis… Where the hell was he anyway?
Kyle gave her a knowing look. “Abby—”
“I’m sure Mac and the boys can handle it,” she interrupted,
inwardly cringing, knowing that the reference to his father was a low blow. But
it had the desired effect.
“You heard the young lady,” Sheriff Dawson interjected.
“Gentlemen”—he motioned to Gabe and Tom—“please escort Agent Dawson from the
premises.”
Gabe took a step forward to obey his father’s order, but Tom put a
restraining hand on his arm and shook his head.
“You look like you could use a little air,” Kyle said, gently but
firmly taking hold of Abby’s elbow and leading her toward the doorway. She
glanced over her shoulder at Tyler, reluctant to leave him after what they’d
been through, but she saw Joe sitting beside him, chatting quietly to put the
boy at ease.
Still, as great as it was to see Kyle, she wasn’t exactly eager to
be alone with him again. Silence had a way of opening the door to some really
uncomfortable questions that she wasn’t exactly ready to answer. That didn’t
even include the total bullshit she was feeding everyone about what had really
happened.
“Excuse me, Agent, but I have some additional questions for my
deputy,” Mac said, his tone even in spite of the anger that flashed in his
eyes. “And I would thank you not to interfere with my investigation, young
man.”
Kyle lifted his free arm to his side and bent slightly at the
waist, offering his father a mocking bow. “Wouldn’t dream of interfering, Sheriff.”
Before his father could offer another word, Kyle ushered Abby from
the room and out the front door. Abby’s heart began to race as he led her
farther into the growing darkness beyond the headlights and flashing
blue-and-reds on the various vehicles.
Once they were out of earshot of any of the other officers, Kyle
finally released her and turned to face her, hands on his hips. “Spill it. And
don’t give me any bullshit about interrupting a robbery. I could hear some of
what was going on. I know he was after something you have—or he thinks you have.”
Abby turned her head away, staring into the darkness crowding in
along the dense tree line that bordered the property. “I don’t know what you’re
talking about. I told you what happened.”
Kyle grasped her chin and forced her gaze back to his. “Abby, it’s
me.
You could always talk to me. Let me help you.”

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.
