one side. “There is?”
    “Under the boat house. The security center on the beach.” Luther stepped in front of her and took the hand that still scratched at the skin on her neck. “I can take one of you at night and drop you at the sight line. If you swim in behind the boat in the dark and come in under the boat house, right between the stilts, there’s a little blind spot.”
    Her eyes brightened. “There is?”
    “It’s temporary. Brooks had to replace one of the cameras, and they’re a special order. It’s supposed to come in…” Luther flipped through dates in his mind and his heart bottomed out. “Tomorrow.”
    “I can’t believe I missed that.” She brought up the display again, then went to the black screen and her fingers flew over the keys. A rotation of camera angles on the inlet came up.
    “Brooks told me it’s only about a ten-foot radius right underneath the house that’s not visible, because most of the cameras overlap, for constant coverage.”
    Maggie went from camera to camera and forced out a tight laugh. “You’re right. I can see where the feed should be, but it just replicates the last angle.” She smacked the hard plastic dashboard. “Dammit, how did I miss that?”
    She typed through the angles again. “It’s all the way out, too. And the swath that’s missing should get bigger…” Maggie reached for the chart and spread it out on the control panels again. She drew two circles with one finger. “The missing piece gets bigger as it goes out into the ocean, because the cameras go in circles.”
    With the other finger, she flipped another camera angle, then drew another circle. An impish smile spread across her face and she looked up at Luther. “It’s narrowest under the boat house, but it’s bigger going back out to sea, and then going up the island.”
    Her implication settled into his chest.
    “No, Maggie. Hell no and a side of no fucking way.” He grabbed her shoulders. “You are not swimming onto that island.”
    She bounced on her toes and nodded. “Yes, I am. And you’re coming with me.”

    L uther swore under his breath and turned out the last of the boat lights. They were almost within sight of the island, and Maggie hadn’t stopped moving since they’d left the dock.
    He didn’t like the plan, but it was the only way he could get her what she needed. It was the only way he could make up for having done nothing for two years, and convincing himself that Luther Frost was a bad guy.
    Hell, he was a bad guy. He’d apparently been ferrying johns back and forth to indulge their sick fantasies for years. Keeping his eyes down, taking his cash, accepting Adrian’s protection.
    It was a bitter pill.
    Maggie grabbed his arm. Her energy was through the roof. He remembered that feeling—having waited and staked out and researched for weeks or months. Then, finally, you get to act on your information. It was a high that nothing else could replicate.
    “You promise me again,” he ordered her. She’d said it several times, but he still didn’t believe it.
    “Recon only. I promise, I won’t do anything reckless.”
    “That’s right, you won’t.” He felt like patting her head or something, but had a feeling she wouldn’t take kindly to the gesture.
    Plus, she was probably lying to him.
    But he couldn’t do nothing any longer. If it took a little risk to get the information they needed, then they’d take a little risk.
    There was no other way.
    “We’re going to be docking in a minute.” Luther pulled back on the throttle. “Get down by the stern thrusters. You’ll want to dive straight out the back so you miss them.”
    Maggie slipped her body around his and hugged him tight. He crushed her into him. There were so many things he wanted to say, but he wouldn’t let them cross his lips. They were going to be fine.
    “Wait for a minute before you start swimming, so the water can settle behind me. It shouldn’t take you long to swim in. Keep your
