Chapter 9

“Well, there’s the superstar,” Noelle said when Iris walked into her office and sat across from her at the small conference table. “Looks like you’ve been busy over the past five weeks.”

“What do you mean?”

Iris glanced at the interior page of the tabloid newspaper that Noelle slid across the table. “Who Is the Tall Beauty With Nash Dupree?” She read the big bold letters across the top of the page and her heart sank. The photo was great and she had to admit that she and Nash made a nice-looking couple. But the timing was all wrong.

Iris wondered who else had seen the issue. She and Nash had gone on several dates in the weeks since their breakfast rendezvous. They had attended a movie premiere one night, where many photos had been taken. Never would she have guessed that a shot of them would end up in one of these publications.

“Care to explain what’s going on?”

Iris’s gaze went back to the newspaper in front of her. She knew enough to know that though Nash and Tania weren’t technically her clients anymore, it didn’t look good that she was spending so much time with Nash. Thankfully, the news about Tania’s arrest hadn’t gone public. If it had, then it would really look bad for the firm.

“Hmm, you have nothing to say?” Noelle retrieved the paper, folded it and set it aside. “Tell me what’s going on. I didn’t hear from you during your vacation, and you’ve been back at work for two weeks and not once have you mentioned having an affair with Nash.”

“Technically, we’re not having an affair. We hang out sometimes.” She shrugged. “That photo happened to be taken at a movie premiere a week or so ago. We went as friends.”

“Well, as your friend, I say, get yours, girl! But as the attorney for Tania, who happens to be living with you because the courts think her uncle is unfit, I have to tell you that I don’t know if your seeing Nash on a social level is a good idea. He and Tania are going through court-ordered therapy, trying to get their lives together. You don’t want to stand in the way of his regaining custody of her. He might just come off as an even bigger playboy who snared his niece’s former lawyer. Now I’m not saying that can’t be done with you in the picture—no pun intended—but do you want to take that risk?”

In the back of Iris’s mind, she knew her involvement with Nash wasn’t a good idea, but she couldn’t help herself when it came to him. Over the past month, she, Tania and Nash had attended events as a family, and Iris had fit well into their dynamic. And the times Iris spent with Nash alone were priceless. The intimate dinners, the toe-curling kisses and those sexually charged moments that made her want to throw all caution to the wind were hard to ignore.

“Pretend I was in your shoes. What would you tell me to do?” Noelle asked.
