Chapter 11

Somehow, she must have fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes again, the sun had already risen, which meant she’d overslept.

She rushed through her usual morning preparations, then grabbed a bagel and slathered it with cream cheese before jumping into her car. Backing from her garage, she saw no sign of any guards or reporters or anything different than any other morning.

Which was good, she thought. Hopefully she could have a productive day and put all this craziness behind her.

Kathleen had already begun answering the phones by the time Maria hurried in.

“What did you do now?” Kathleen asked breathlessly, putting her caller on hold. “Every gossip mag and TV show has called and requested an interview. I thought you and Ryan were over.”

Accepting the sheaf of pink messages, Maria frowned. “We are. One of my former friends must have stirred things up with her attempt to corral me into an interview last night. If anyone else calls, just tell them no outright.”

“Even Oprah?” Eyes huge, Kathleen watched her.

“Has Oprah called?”

“Well, no, but she might. What do you want me to do if she does?”

Hiding her sigh, Maria shrugged. “You do know this is not a big enough story to catch Oprah’s eye, right?”

“Maybe, maybe not. But you never know.”

“Well, if Oprah calls, just put her on hold and let me know.”

This appeared to satisfy Kathleen. And since Maria knew good and well Oprah wouldn’t be beating down her door anytime soon, she went on into her office.

Her guards showed up exactly one hour later.

There were four of them, dressed in military-style fatigues. Their auras proclaimed them Pack, and their muscular bodies and soldierly demeanor declared them efficient.

A thoroughly flustered Kathleen rushed into Maria’s office to tell her she had visitors.

“Thanks.” Maria cut her off. “Send them back. I’ve been expecting them.”

Though Kathleen’s mouth fell open in surprise, she spun around and did exactly as Maria asked.

The leader, a tall man named Colton Richards, explained two men would be stationed at the wedding chapel and two at her home. “This is nonnegotiable,” he said, giving her a flat stare. “We’ve been completely briefed on Polacek, and are well aware of what to expect.”

She shrugged, doubting that. “Fine. But your guys are going to get superbored. I live a quiet life.”

His smile transformed his face, making him less intimidating, and kind of cute. Covertly, she checked his hand, disappointed to see a gold wedding ring on his third finger.

One by one, she glanced at the three other men. Two of them had ringless hands. Still, they might be involved with someone. She’d never know unless she asked.

“Listen, are any of you gentlemen...” clearing her throat, she pushed past her embarrassment “...single and unattached?”

Colton’s expression went blank, then he turned to look at one of his men, a husky blond with Viking legs and shaggy hair. Maria smiled at him, approving of the speculative way he eyed her. She wouldn’t have been surprised to find out his name was Thor.

“Um, I am,” he told her, his tone almost apologetic.
