AIDEN KNEW, THE MOMENT he saw Zoe again, why he’d finally given in and come to Sydney. Just the sight of her took his breath away.

But the shock on her face brought home to him that she hadn’t expected to see him again. She thought he’d been safely consigned to the closet, a spur-of-the-moment indiscretion which she didn’t want to think of ever again.

Facing the cold hard reality that he’d meant nothing more to her than a one-night stand pained Aiden more than he could ever have envisaged. But at least he had answers to his questions now. If nothing else, this trip to Sydney had stopped any stupid fantasy that there was something special between them, or—as his romantic-minded mother would have put it—that Zoe might have been his one true love.

To think he’d even begun considering such a silly idea!

The shock on Zoe’s face swiftly changed to a panicky confusion. “I…I never imagined for a moment that you’d follow me,” she babbled. “I didn’t think you’d care. But…how on earth did you know I’d be here? I mean…there’s no way that…oh…oh, I see…you found out through Nigel, didn’t you? He told you about me and Drake.” Her big brown eyes suddenly widened with alarm. “You’re not going to tell Drake about last Saturday night, are you?”

Fear over having her own unfaithfulness exposed showed Aiden that Zoe’s first priority in life was still the boyfriend.

Which again begged the question of why? Love? Or money?

Aiden was finding it harder and harder to believe it was love. Drake might be a super-successful salesman—and reasonably good-looking—but he was also a major sleazebag, as Nigel had accurately judged. Aiden hadn’t needed more than an hour with the man himself this afternoon to prove that. The lewd way Drake had flirted with the receptionist at his office had been a real eye-opener. If that blonde at the conference was the first female he’d two-timed Zoe with, Aiden would eat his hat.

But then…maybe Zoe already knew that. Maybe she’d decided to turn a blind eye to Drake’s extra-curricular activities in exchange for what he could give her.

Not for the first time, Aiden speculated that perhaps when Zoe found out how well heeled he was, maybe she’d change her priorities. It was telling that having seen her again, he no longer held the high moral ground that he would not become involved with another materialistic fortune-hunting woman. As his eyes swept over Zoe in that delicious dress and his body lurched into that unable-to-be-ignored-or-subdued hard-on which had tormented him all week, Aiden realized that he would do whatever it took to have sex with her again. He’d make any compromise. Play any role she fancied. Give her anything she wanted.

“No, I’m not going to tell Drake about us,” he promised, since doing so would hardly endear him to her. “So there’s no need to worry. But the thing is, Zoe, I’m not exactly…”

“Mitch!” Drake interrupted before Aiden could enlighten Zoe of his identity and financial status. “So you came after all.
