Free The Naughty Angel Returns (Naughty Angels In Love) by Honey Jans

were all in. They walked into the mansion, and she looked around, noting all the homey touches Kiera had put on the place. It warmed her heart and made her smile. Everything was going to be all right; it had to be.
    “You're okay?” Kiera cried out in an anxious voice. “After the fire, I wasn't so sure.”
    Haley spun to see her sister hurrying toward her from a side room. Kiera was glowing, but there was a look of concern in her eyes. Drat. She'd made Harry promise to keep the attack at Indiscretions quiet. How had Kiera found out? She frowned at Crispin. “Your pal Harry has a big mouth.”
    “I don't know anyone named Harry,” Kiera said with a frown. “I heard it from Jaden's dad Fletcher that there was a fire at Indiscretions and put two and two together. He's got a police band radio.”
    “We're fine,” Haley said in a soothing tone, taking her sister's trembling hand. “And you know I wouldn't miss this evening for the world.”
    “The crazy Scarlet A Killer did it, didn't he?” Kiera muttered.
    “That hasn't been confirmed,” Crispin said in a reassuring tone.
    “Yeah, right,” she said sarcastically. “Those Keystone cops wouldn't know a clue if they sat on it.”
    “Now, honey, don't get agitated,” Jaden said, walking into the room and pulling her into his arms.
    Kiera sighed, leaning against him. “I'm not. It's just that they make me so mad. They were so sure the man who confessed, then killed himself, was telling the truth. They never looked any further.”
    “I know, honey,” Jaden said, running a soothing hand down her spine.
    Haley was relieved to see her sister relax against him and go loose. She didn't want her sister giving premature birth because of this. Trevor would not be allowed to wreck their lives this way. “He's right,” she said. “Let the Feds do their job, and you do yours by taking care of that precious child you're carrying.” When Kiera looked at her from the shelter of Jaden's arms, Haley felt a deep connection that threatened to buckle her knees. The corresponding look of wonder in Kiera's eyes said that she felt it too, even if she didn't understand it.
    Kiera smiled and then glanced at the large wrapped gift Crispin was carrying. “Jaden can show Crispin where he can put the loot,” she said, stepping out of Jaden's embrace and walking up to Haley. “And we can go join the ladies in the family room. The men are down in the game room.”
    Haley gave Crispin a shrug, glad of the reprieve. She needed time to work alone if she was going to salvage this. And Max, darn him, had been completely out of touch and thus no help at all. Sometimes she wondered if her heavenly coach was even watching her anymore. Crispin met her innocent smile with a scowl. There was no way she could follow his “stick together” rule at this shower, and he knew it. “Go ahead and hang with the guys, honey. I'll be fine,” she said blithely, and he scowled at her.
    “Fine, as long as you don't wander off,” he said after a moment.
    “Baby, I'm not going anywhere,” she said fervently as she gazed into his eyes… At least not on purpose , she added silently. She actually had no idea how close she was to skating on the edge of disaster. It was like she was working without a net. One false move and oops. She saw Crispin react to her worry and hurried to smile, wanting to reassure him. She should have known that he wouldn't be easy to pacify. “I'm okay, really,” she said, taking a step back from him. His dark look told her that he didn't like her move one bit.
    He frowned, relenting. “Fine. I'll be right downstairs. Yell if you need me.”
    Haley smiled wider, seeing her chance to work unfettered by Crispin's rules. She might even agree with most of them, like keeping him close enough to protect, but she figured he'd be safe in a crowd.

    Crispin reluctantly followed Jaden down the stairs and toward the game room, where he could hear the sounds of music and men talking
