Their early conversation turns personal when Jack asks about her reluctance to be near home. Zita explains that her family situation—especially her brothers—makes introductions complicated, requiring background checks, unusual logistical concerns, and careful planning, while she weighs whether sharing her world is worth the disruption.","BLOODY  \nArca Book 10  \nKAREN DIEM  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCOPYRIGHT  \nCopyright © 2026 by Karen Diem  \nAll rights reserved.

After bouncing off a tree trunk and vaulting a fallen log, she glanced toward her companion. She was still getting used to seeing Freelance—no, Jack—without the armor and mask he wore when he moonlighted as a mercenary.  \nKeeping pace with her, he ran on a parallel course, his movements economical but as graceful as a stalking panther. As he leapt over a rock, his clothing pulled enough against his muscles to outline his magnificent body, that ideal balance of strength, dexterity, and stamina.  \nShe licked her lips.  \nA corner of his mouth twitched upward when he caught her gaze.  \nShe realized she had slowed to study him and cartwheeled over a rock, speeding back up when she landed.  \nAround them, shafts of sunlight broke through the trees, and she caught glimpses of sidewalk winding through the little urban forest. The occasional jogger, dog walker, tourist, or necking couple were a reminder that they were not alone, in case she overlooked the looming shadows of nearby skyscrapersand the distant sounds of street noise for a second.  \nAnother sniff had her correcting their course. Calling out, she said,“You want some nuts? They smell amazing, though they must be almost out since  \ntheir scent isn’t as strong as I’d expect. I’ll share with you if you’re not up foryour own bag.”  \nJack shook his head. He kept pace with her, pulling his bottle of water off his belt and taking a drink.“Early dinner,” he reminded her.  \nSobering for a moment, Zita lowered her voice and said,“This is to tide me over just in case... lately, something has got to be in the water the way people are losing their minds and doing crime every other minute. I mean, I appreciate them waiting until tax season ended, but it’s like they finished their returns and immediately went to go break as many laws as possible.
