When Madeline woke, she felt like a million dollars. The sun was shining bright. She’d never slept better in her life. “West.” Rolling over, she couldn’t wait to touch him one more time.

The other side of the bed was empty. Of course.

But, there was a note.

Maddie’s heart sank. Well, it was fun while it lasted. She picked up the note and read…

Maddie,

Sorry I had to run, but I had some important things to take care of. Thank you for an amazing evening and for your hospitality. I enjoyed myself and you more than I can say.

You’ll be hearing from me soon.

West

“Shoot,” she whined, falling over. Would she ever know what it was like to be loved?

At least she’d shut Morgana up—for a little while.

Kicking the covers off, she got up to face the day. No sooner was she dressed that the normal excitement of the Windswept took over. Guests had questions, lots of questions. The sink in one of the second floor bathrooms stopped up. Another guest swore she saw the eyes in one of the paintings move in her room. Still another man threw his back out and Madeline had to bring in a chiropractor for an emergency house call.

“You know how he did that, don’t you?” Tilly whispered. “Bedroom acrobatics.”

Madeline smiled. “Lucky woman.” She was jealous. She would’ve given most anything to have had some undercover action with Weston.

As they walked from the elevator to the lobby, Madeline checked her phone messages. She was hoping against hope that Weston would call, but that was just wishful thinking. He’d wait for her to contact him about the plans. Later, she’d have to examine how much all of the work was going to cost. Hopefully she’d be able to afford it.

“Magpie!”

Tilly groaned. “Your royal pain-in-the-ass bellows.”

Maddie grinned. “You’ve got her pegged.” When they arrived in the lobby, she was shocked to find not just her sister, but her mother and a man she assumed was Hugh Beaumont standing and waiting. Juliana had the same bored, judgmental expression she always wore and Hugh was eyeing the ceiling like he was trying to determine how hard it would be to pull down.

“Madeline Mercy Cross, what in God’s name are you wearing?”

Juliana’s outburst caused Maddie to look down at her attire. She wore a perfectly respectable pair of whitewashed jeans and a pink turtleneck sweater. They weren’t designer, but they were comfortable. “Clothes?”

“Hugh, try to look beyond my stepdaughter’s gaucheness and see her good breeding. I know there’s evidence of it in there somewhere.”

Her tone cut into Maddie like a piece of glass. “Mother…” She protested. When her eyes met the investor’s, she felt his gaze smear across her flesh—that’s exactly what it felt like—a smear. Now, she understood. Hugh Beaumont was a dirty old man. “What can I do for you all? May I offer you a drink?’

“Later.” Juliana waved her hand dismissively. “Right now, we don’t have time. Hugh wants to take a look at the property, walk around outside.
