Over the next few days, Caitlyn discovered that Marco meant just what he said. He didn’t seem to care about the business ramifications should she walk out on him. He only cared about her. For some reason, that realization left her shaken. All the while a small voice whispered insistently in her ear that it had to be a lie. How could she possibly be more important than winning an account that would guarantee the meteoric success of Dantes in the European market?

Marriage should be more complicated than Marco was making it out to be. It certainly had been for her grandmother. Thanks to her disastrous union, there’d been exhaustive instructions on how to build a proper foundation and which qualities to look for in a husband, an endless list to be detailed, considered and checked off long before marriage should ever be contemplated. She and Marco hadn’t done any of that, and Caitlyn couldn’t help but believe that lack would bring a fast end to a short marriage.

Fortunately, she didn’t have long to dwell on her worries. The minute she returned to work, she was assigned a huge, complex project to oversee that involved transferring decades worth of old financial records from paper to computer.

“With the expansion into the international market, we need to have this information available at the touch of a button,” Caitlyn’s supervisor explained. “And we need someone with your background in finance and attention to detail to sort the wheat from the chaff. Determine what’s important to computerize and what can be safely discarded.”

“But what about my current duties?”

“We’re assigning you temporary help with that while you concentrate on getting this other project in hand. I’ll be honest with you, Caitlyn. We’re hoping you can succeed where every other person who’s attempted this assignment has failed.”

It was like waving a red flag in front of a bull, Caitlyn realized with a touch of Marco’s sense of humor. The idea that she could accomplish what no one else had appealed immensely and she threw herself into the project with unfettered enthusiasm. Unfortunately, it meant a temporary move from the Dantes main office to their warehouse where most of the records were stored.

Toward the end of the week, Britt tracked Caitlyn down at her new location and tossed a folder onto her desk. “Here. Lazz said you needed this. I could have e-mailed it to you, but it gave me an excuse to come for a visit. Just so you know, you’re missed.”

“Thanks. I miss you and Angie, too.” She checked her watch. “I wish I’d known you were coming. I’m actually scheduled to have lunch with Francesca in about five minutes.”

“Sev’s wife, right?” Britt grimaced. “Makes sense. I guess she’s been assigned to explain what the family will expect from the latest Dante bride.”

Caitlyn’s brows drew together. “Expect? What are you talking about?”

Britt snapped her fingers. “Oh, come on, girl. Get with it. You’re in the public eye now. The Snitch will be all over you when news of your whirlwind marriage to Marco breaks.
