Chapter Eight

For the past couple of weeks, Camilla had done her best to show Jordan how the other half lived in a fruitless attempt to prove that their lifestyles were incompatible. Surprisingly, though, the stubborn man seemed game for whatever she’d dished up. And he kept coming back for more.

He’d even gone grocery shopping yesterday at the big box store an hour out of town just so he could be with her. Other than that steamy kiss in the breakfast aisle, there was nothing romantic about their $1.50 hot dogs and sodas in the food court or those countless samples they’d filled up on.

Yet Jordan seemed to enjoy every second of whatever random errand or service project she had on her schedule, which only made Camilla question whether she’d been wrong about him all along. In fact, the more involved he got in the Bronco Valley community, the more Camilla felt her resolve slipping.

And don’t even get her started on her family. They all adored him, even Dylan, who hadn’t been too pleased to find out that Jordan’s favorite NBA player was on the team of his sworn rivals.

Of course, none of the Sanchezes knew that he was one of those Taylors.

So far, the only thing Camilla had proven to anyone was that her and Jordan’s physical attraction was only growing stronger. Maybe she needed to get him back in his own world to show him that she was the one who wouldn’t be able to fit in. That would be easy enough to do with his dad and stepmother. Maybe even his siblings.

DJ’s Deluxe was doing a limited menu this week due to all the Thanksgiving holiday take-out orders, which meant she wasn’t working her usual shifts. Plus, she’d booked a couple of vacation days to be able to spend time cooking with her parents—and, of course, to spend time with Jordan. And since school was on break, she didn’t have any online lectures or reading assignments. So when Jordan texted her that morning asking if they could have another “official date,” she replied, I want to meet the rest of your family.

Camilla had anticipated a formal dinner at the Taylor estate prepared by a classically trained private chef and served by a stiff-lipped butler. Or perhaps another helicopter ride to a five-star restaurant in Jackson Hole. At this point, she wouldn’t have been surprised if he’d pulled out the big guns and hired a private jet to ferry them to some romantic European city.

What she hadn’t anticipated, she realized as they pulled up under the wooden sign of Happy Hearts Animal Sanctuary on Monday afternoon, was that he would take her to meet the other member of the Taylor family who didn’t quite fit in, either.

“Jordan!” His sister nearly squealed as she ran over to hug her brother. “What are you doing away from the office? You never take time off from work... Oh.” The pretty strawberry blonde trailed off when she caught sight of Camilla. “This is certainly a first on so many levels.
