After, Luke would wonder if the disaster that became his life might have been avoided if he’d skipped his aunt’s house and headed straight home. He’d been anxious to tell Helena about his meeting with Tate. She’d be happy to hear he’d sought out his brother-in-law and asked for his help, especially since she knew the man wasn’t among his top ten favorite people. Not even top one hundred. But that opinion had changed since their conversation and it had nothing to do with the man’s offer to give him a great deal on a house. No, Luke’s changed opinion had to do with Tate Alexander’s desire to be part of the Donovan family and what could only be described as true compassion.

He and Helena had talked about renting until they could afford a home of their own, but maybe with Tate’s offer, they’d be able to buy sooner. A year ago, he hadn’t been interested in renting a place longer than a few months. Keep moving had been his motto. Don’t stop, don’t slow down, and don’t look back.

All that changed the day Helena Montrey walked into his life with a bowl of hot-and-sour soup and an egg roll. Who would have thought he’d be thinking about a home, a real home with mail delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Donovan? He smiled, hopped out of his truck, and bounded up the front steps of his aunt’s home. Who would have thought...?

Luke rang Camille’s doorbell, waited for someone to answer. His aunt’s home was a smaller version of the Alexander mansion, from the outside anyway. He couldn’t compare the inside since he’d never been in the Alexander mansion, though he could guess. But after his conversation with Tate this afternoon, he had a new respect for the guy and the fact that blood relations didn’t make a family, no matter how much money they had.

The door opened and a tall man in a dark suit ushered him in. Growing up, Luke had visited his aunt’s house a handful of times. It was one thing to laugh and enjoy Camille’s company in the Donovans’ living room, and quite another to witness her transformation once she crossed the threshold of the home she shared with Carter and their children. Spoiled brats, including the husband. Luke wouldn’t have come today if Camille hadn’t left him three messages saying she had to see him ASAP. He sighed at his aunt’s tendency toward the dramatic, handed the butler his jacket, and followed him to the “sitting” room. He remembered this place because it was covered in chrome, glass, and cherry—not intended for children.

“Mrs. Alexander will join you in a moment.”

The dark suit bowed and disappeared, leaving Luke to contemplate whether the British accent was real or the result of practice. Who knew? This place made him jumpy and he’d dreaded the few times he’d had to come. No matter how much he wanted to have a good time, something bad always happened when he came here.
