Page 1 of Liberating Lily

PROLOGUE

Harvey was going to kill Jaret Malone.

Lily kept staring at the other man and Harvey didn’t like it. At all. Harvey didn’t care that he seemed like a decent guy who loved Clem.

Lily’s attention should be on him and only him.

And if he had to get rid of Malone in order for that to happen . . . well, he wasn’t above a bit of murder to get his way.

Despite what his oldest brother might have to say about it. Ronan was obsessed with discretion and keeping under the radar.

Harvey was obsessed with Lily.

And he wanted her to feel the same way about him.

Lily spent so much of her time staring at nothing, so it was surprising to see her looking at Jaret the way she was.

Harvey was growing increasingly worried about her. She appeared to be more blank every time he saw her. Like her mind wasn’t even there.

As though she was fading away.

Which was completely unacceptable.

He was fully prepared to pick her up and take her out of here, but he was waiting to see how things played out.

Clem had come back to Boston for Lily’s wedding to Rick.

The dick.

Harvey liked Clem. She was funny and kind. She deserved to be happy.

And so did Lily.

Which is why she would not be marrying Rick the Dick.

Lily got up and walked over to where Jaret had been cornered by her mother and those bitches she thought were her friends.

They weren’t.

He would get her better friends.

Harvey worked hard to keep his feelings under control as he watched her.

Rick was whining at Clem when he turned to him.

“Rick, you might need to get your fiancée,” he said coolly.

Fucking asshole didn’t deserve Lily.

But that was okay. He was going to suffer. Harvey would see to it. Clem looked furious as she gazed over at her sister and Jaret.

“Clem?” he asked.

“What?” she snapped.

“You okay?”

“Why are you friends with him?” she asked. “He’s such a dick.”
