Chapter Ten

Lexie and Coop struck out at the Vintage Jewelers. Anna told them her father had taken a sudden trip out of town. Gone fishing, she’d said, shaking her head, her annoyance clear. Until he returned, they’d get no new information on that end. Lexie hoped they did better asking Coop’s father for a favor.

Only Coop had forgotten it was Ladies’ Night at his father’s bar. The place was crowded, and the older Cooper was busy serving drinks. That meant Lexie and Coop had to hang out until things slowed down and Jack had time to talk. Thankfully, he had saved them the same table in the back.

Since she didn’t know anyone at the bar and she had work to do, Lexie settled in. Coop went to order drinks and made the rounds, saying hello to people and chatting it up. Thanks to the preponderance of women hanging around and Coop’s status as the Bachelor, all the ladies surrounded him, stopping to make conversation and gauge his interest. To his credit, his body language didn’t lead any of the women on, but Lexie couldn’t control the jealousy coursing through her anyway.

Deciding that the green monster didn’t suit her, she pulled out her laptop and started to make notes on ideas she had for his site. Words that described him and his work. Though she still needed to read his novel, the feel of the site was something that came naturally to her. She always started with a color scheme, so she pulled up Pantone charts, and from there it was easy to narrow down the ones that worked for her, but she picked a variety so he’d have a choice.

“You’re back a second time. That’s impressive. So my brother hasn’t scared you away.” Matt Cooper pulled up a chair and joined her.

She forced a smile, mostly because she was still stinging over the subject of Coop’s next book. “Your brother and I have business together.”

Matt raised an eyebrow. The inquisitive look gave him a resemblance to his brother, but not enough to eclipse Coop in the looks department. Matt was handsome, just not as drop-dead sexy as Coop. At least in Lexie’s biased opinion.

“Personal business or private?” he asked.

Lexie rolled her eyes. “What is it with you Cooper brothers and asking questions?”

“It’s in the blood.” Matt grinned. “So?”

Lexie decided he wouldn’t give up without an honest answer. “Both. But right now I’m working on his Web site.” She didn’t intend to reveal anything about the mystery of the ring. That was for Coop to do, not her.

“What kind of Web site does he need?” Matt asked, seemingly confused.

“He’s a published author. Authors need Web sites.” Wasn’t that obvious?

Matt’s eyes opened wide and he let out a laugh. “Come on. His mystery writing is just a hobby. He’s a crime reporter. That’s what he does.”

If Matt believed that, then he didn’t know his brother well at all. Though she ought to bite her tongue, she couldn’t. “Have you read his book?”

She should have bitten it harder.
