What the hell are you doing here? The voice was low-pitched and melodious, with a Southern accent that brought to mind magnolias and mint juleps. The body behind that name was not quite so hospitable. Though on the short side, the man looked like he could hold his own in a fight, with broad shoulders and rippling
