Lucas Quinlan stood as the beautiful young woman entered his office. “Devina.” He walked to meet her and took her hands. “So good to see you. We have missed you since…well, you know.”

“Since Cooper dumped me?” It wasn’t tears of loss he saw gathering in her eyes but tears of rage—and rage was what he’d counted on. He could exploit rage.

“The man’s a fool, even if he is my son.” Lucas led her to the sofa. “Please, have a seat. Would you like a drink?”

“That’d be lovely, thank you. I was surprised to get your call, Mr. Quinlan.”

“Lucas, please.” Lucas went to the bar. He had no doubt that Devina was surprised. He’d been overjoyed when Cooper had dumped the girl. She was not fit to be part of the Quinlan family.

She came from a family who’d made their money in the adult entertainment industry. Not as stars, but as producers. Devina had been spoiled by all that money could buy until she was in her twenties and her family’s business went belly up over an indictment by the Justice Department that linked them to drug trafficking. Apparently, the porn DVDs they sold and shipped from one of their sites contained more than dirty movies.

He’d tried to talk Cooper into breaking up with Devina when he found out, but Cooper spouted the line that children shouldn’t suffer for the sins of their fathers. Instead of driving them apart, Lucas had driven them closer. So close that Cooper had proposed.

It had taken a good bit of money, a “girlfriend” weekend trip to Vegas and some drugs in her drink to get her on film with two male strippers. She’d given an award winning performance that brought Cooper to his senses.

“I should have gotten in touch sooner.” He poured two drinks, returned to the sofa and offered her a glass.

Devina took a sip of the drink, then set it aside. “So, why did you want to see me?”

Lucas smiled. “It’s about Cooper. I may know a way you can—”

“I don’t want him back, if that’s where you’re headed. He humiliated me and I wouldn’t take him back if he was the last fucking man on this planet.”

“I wasn’t going to say get him back; I was going to say get revenge.”

Devina’s smile told him he’d hit the mark. “I’m listening.”

“Well, as it turns out, Cooper has decided to branch out on his own, and I get the feelings he’s in over his head. Now, what if he had a pregnant fiancé suddenly show up?”

“But I’m not pregnant.”

Lucas got up to go to his desk. He removed an envelope from the top drawer, returned to the couch and handed it to Devina. She opened it and read the document inside. When she looked up at him, she smiled again. “Looks like I fell for the wrong Quinlan. Cooper would never have had the balls to do something like this.”

“You may be right.” Lucas put his hand on her leg.

“I thought you were married?” She leaned in toward him.
