Chapter Ten

Reece tossed her cell on the nightstand and collapsed on the bed. The conversation with her mother, who was in Nessebar Bulgaria, after reading about the “Pearl of the Black Sea” on a travel blog, had taken longer than expected. In between sips of espresso, her mother had inquired about the latest rumor to reach her regarding Vin. Reece had rolled her eyes and told her mother they’d run into each other at the botanical gardens, and after working together on the foster family fundraiser, they’d become friends, sort of.

Her mother had laughed at that. “Oh, darling, men don’t befriend women. Not men like Vincent Ferguson.” Then her mother had proceeded to lecture Reece on how men like Vin acquired women and not to let herself become an acquisition. Vin reminded her mother of Reece’s father, on Wife Number Five, and Reece didn’t exactly disagree, but she also didn’t care. She listened politely, made noncommittal remarks, and let her mother rant about her father in the same way she always turned any conversation around to find fault in the man she’d married over thirty years ago.

The discussion shifted to Reece choosing the right man, and that reminded her why she always assessed men for forever instead of for fun. Well, not anymore. She had a full summer of fun planned with a man who was anything but forever.

Amelie entered, tapping away on her phone, and fell onto her back next to Reece. “How’s your mother?”

Reece let out a long sigh. “Same as always. I think she’ll disapprove of any guy I date.”

“For the record, half of South Beach thinks you two make a gorgeous couple.” Amelie held up her phone and showed Reece the comments under a photo of Vin and her in the South Beach After Hours online social section. Although not surprised, she shook her head. They’d posed for one photog last night, until they’d ditched the event in favor of his swanky catamaran. “Susette from North Miami says she hopes you’ll be the one to tame Vin.”

Reece didn’t want to tame anyone. She flung an arm over her head, staring at the ceiling. “I don’t care what they say. I don’t even know those people.”

Amelie turned her head. “Did you really just decide to date him at my birthday party?”

Reece heard the suspicion in her friend’s voice. Careful not to sound too guilty, she asked, “What do you mean?”

“I know you. Vin isn’t your type.”

Reece sat up and shot Amelie an accusatory glare. “You’re the one who told me to date for fun.”

“But why Vin?”

“You don’t approve?” Amelie’s opinion was the one that mattered most if Vin and she were dating for real.

“No. I do. I think he’s perfect for you.”

Vin did seem pretty perfect for her. Weirdly enough, of all the guys she’d been with, she knew Vin the least, and the sex had been the best. “You just said he’s not my type.”

“He’s not who you’d normally choose. But he’s exactly what you need. I’m just curious.
