At home, Daley stripped off Tristan’s clothes and took a hot shower. After the storm, the heat had returned, but it didn’t matter. She was cold to the bone.

She needed to go straight to bed so she could get a solid eight hours of sleep. This week at Lieberman and Dunn was turning out to be stressful in multiple ways. Tomorrow morning would come early. Unfortunately, she was keyed up, and the knot of worry in the pit of her stomach wasn’t conducive to peaceful sleep.

Tonight, she had stepped over an invisible line. It was fine to pretend she took food to Tristan out of altruistic motives. But the truth was hard to avoid. At least on some subconscious level, she must have assumed they might end up in bed.

If Tristan was not boyfriend material, why did she go to his house?

He’d been a perfect gentleman at work. Their paths hadn’t crossed.

Daley was the one who broke their unspoken agreement.

Maybe Tristan was okay with that. What man wouldn’t be?

But now, she faced the fruits of her impulsive choices. Seeing Tristan ill and pale tonight had shaken her. If he was vulnerable and not just a convenient sex partner, she had to see him as more than her sister’s new brother-in-law.

And seeing him—really seeing him—raised a scary specter. Daley Martin might find herself falling in love. She already liked him. He was an entertaining companion. She adored the way he made love to her. He was smart and funny and though he had a healthy ego, he wasn’t a jerk like some guys.

Tristan Hamilton was a catch.

He didn’t want to be caught. He’d made that very clear.

Her head ached from wrestling with impossible questions. After her shower, she rummaged in the kitchen cabinets until she found a packet of cocoa mix that wasn’t out of date. Who said you couldn’t have hot chocolate in July?

She nuked the water in the microwave, stirred in the powder and added a few miniature marshmallows. All in all, it wasn’t half bad.

In the living room, she curled up on the sofa intending to read a chapter or two of the funny romance she was enjoying. She had started it weeks ago but had set it aside because of her busy schedule. When she opened the book, a card fell out. Flat. No fold. Beautifully printed in navy and gold ink on a coffee-colored heavy stock.

Tabby and John’s reception invitation.

In all the chaos of moving her business, she had almost forgotten. A week from this Saturday. At a fancy downtown hotel. There would be dancing and frivolity. Daley would be expected to bring a date.

She panicked. It couldn’t be Tristan. It couldn’t. At the wedding John had been upset that his brother and sister-in-law might be hooking up. If Daley and Tristan showed up together, their siblings would have questions. So many questions.

Tabby wasn’t the kind of woman who endorsed recreational sex. Not that she would judge Daley. But she would worry.

Besides,
