Even before being sure that Claire was her professor’s murderer, Jarod saw her as a predator. From the moment she stood up in class and proved her visual acuity and quick mind, as well as the depth of her arrogance, he had been certain of her character, even if not of her crime. It didn’t matter that she was young, brilliant, and beautiful. He wasn’t falling for that again. When she tried, blatantly, to seduce him, he almost laughed in her face. She was a predator, and he wasn’t interested in predators. Except in catching them and giving them justice.
