CHAPTER TEN

Kendall checked her reflection in the bathroom mirror for the umpteenth time that morning. She pushed a curl off her forehead and jumped when the doorbell sounded from downstairs.

I can do this, she thought, smoothing her hands over the delicate linen of her pale yellow sundress.

Of course she could.

She’d been managing her way through dinners with families like the Bishops since grade school. She picked up her small purse from the bathroom counter and headed for the stairs.

A warm breeze danced across her bare arms as she pulled open the front door of her condo. The butterflies that had taken up residence in her stomach began a quick two-step at the sight of Ty standing on her stoop. He wore a finely woven slate blue sweater that was tucked into tailored khaki pants. The sweater accentuated the brilliant color of his eyes and molded over the contours of his upper body.

It was odd to see him without his typical uniform of jeans, flannel, and a T-shirt. Kendall caught a glimpse of the man who had grown up in a world of wealth and privilege. It was evident in the easy confidence of his posture. His clothes, although understated, hung gracefully in the way of expensive apparel.

“You look lovely,” Ty said.

She smiled. “Thanks. You clean up pretty well yourself.”

He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his slacks. “I figured this look would be more your style.”

She thought about the night on his porch and felt color rise to her cheeks. She reached for the bottle of white wine on her entry table, hoping he didn’t notice her blush, and stepped onto the front porch. “I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I sort of miss the ubiquitous flannel.”

He grinned down at her. “What can I say? Chicks dig flannel.”

With an eye roll, she turned to close the door, but he pulled her against him. His arms wrapped around her and she was enveloped in the scent of soap and man. “Thanks for coming with me today,” he said, pressing a kiss against her temple.

She leaned into him, enjoying the feel of his body against hers. She tilted her head so she could just see his face out of the corner of her eye. “I was sort of surprised to get your message yesterday confirming. I thought you might cancel.”

He leaned his head against hers and sighed. “By the end of today, you might wish I had.” He took her hand and led her down the front walk.

“What does that mean?”

“Did you investigate my father?” He ignored her question.

She glanced over at him. He looked straight ahead, the profile of his strong features giving away nothing. “You know I’ve researched both GoldStar and ERB Investments.”

“Let me rephrase the question.” He opened the passenger door of the truck and turned to her. “Since I told you that GoldStar is my father’s company, have you delved into his personal history?”

She stepped up into the truck’s cab, feeling as if she were walking into a potential minefield.
