Excerpt
Looking out over the crowd, a flash of sky blue caught his eye. He did a double take.
It was her.
Wearing a long, flimsy dress that hugged her ample breasts and flowed to the floor in a pool of fluff, she stole the spotlight. The green tips had vanished from the the blonde ringlets now piled high on her head, her nails painted a soft pink. Her face looked pale and ethereal, her skin glowing in the dim, chandelier lights. The diamond stud at her nose twinkled, but not nearly as much as her round eyes which seemed to fade into the dress. She looked nothing like the tough, leather-bound smart-ass at the airport, but an exquisite, delicate woman.
A chameleon.
Who was she? Security was tight, with invitation-only admittance. Now was his chance to find out why she skipped out on him and possibly get more information for Jaydan and Grayson Donner.
He squeezed Hope’s elbow. “Excuse me a minute. I see someone I know.”
Making his way through the ocean of body heat and free-flowing drinks, he found her standing at a bar height table with two couples, a plate of food in front of her. The others ignored her while she dug into her extravagant fare.
“Sweetpea, fancy meeting you here.” He nodded at the others, a false smile pasted on his face.
A model of composure, she straightened her napkin on the table before turning to look at him. “Well, Honey Dump-”
She gave him a slow perusal, her eyes shining brighter the longer she looked. Heat climbed in his face and filtered through his body. That’s the second time he’d gotten hot and bothered around her. She was so…obvious about her attraction to him. It made him uncomfortable.
But, horny as hell.
Her voice barely carried over the buzz of conversation. “You take my breath away, Dumpling.”
Stick to business, Rose. Don’t let her distract you.
“What are you doing here?”
Picking up a cracker, she said, “Free food.” She scooped some caviar onto the cracker and took a bite.
God, the woman was a complete smart-ass. So, why in hell was he standing beside her, aroused, knowing she skipped out on him and could have information on a missing woman?
Dumb-ass, Rose.
