Sleight of Hand
Picture this: One drink, one look, and the best no-strings-attached night with a guy I met at the hotel bar.
But then he comes out of the bathroom with a fake wedding ring on talking about not being able to stick around because he has carpool duty the next morning.
I get it. I was a little excited about the idea of hooking up a second time. I know he thought he needed to get rid of me, but he took it too far.
As if that wasnât humiliating enough, I show up to interview for my new job the next day, and heâs sitting in the breakroom. How can I work with the man now?
Controlled Burn
As the mechanic for Blackbridge Security, when I make a mistake, things donât work properly. Correcting that mistake is the only way to get things operational. I meet issues in my personal life with the same mindset.
How was I to know the woman Iâve been flirting with at the gym is the same woman I called a noise complaint on? I got her kicked out of her condo.
My first response: Move in with me. When she confessed to having three kids, it was too late to back down. I thought keeping my hands off of her was going to be a problem, but the tiny terrors she brought along with her are extremely effective at solving that problem for me.
Cease Fire
Making something off-limits will always make that thing more appealing. Jules Warren, my sisterâs best friend, was no different. She has been the leading lady in every fantasy Iâve had since I was a teenager. There was no way I was turning her down when she invited me to her room.
Those fantasies? They had nothing on the real thing.
I was given the weekend to make my dreams come true. The ramifications, however, will last a lifetime.
Keeping a secret is one thing. Living with the lies is impossible.
Crossing Borders
Although I take my job very seriouslyâbeing the resident charmer, the man responsible for helping clients with security, all the while making it look like Iâm the newest love interest of insanely gorgeous womenâit looks like itâs all fun and games. Iâm getting paid to go on dates to some of the most glamourous places all around the world after all, but at the end of the day, itâs still work.
When the assignment is over, I walk awayâusually with a smile and another notch in my bedpost, but who am I to turn down the perks? This new assignment should be no different.
I can play any role handed to me. Hell, I love a new challenge. Only Archer Bremen is different…and not just for the obvious reasons. His British accent hits me in a way I never expected. The scowl on his face makes me think of a million things I could do to make it fade. His smile tells me that this new assignment is going to change everything….
