Even though this was supposed to be his birthday party, Antonio wasn’t in the mood to be a host. He was on a mission to ferret out the lovely blonde’s name and to accomplish this he needed to find Lily.

Ducking out of the ballroom, he made a beeline toward the kitchen. Santos had seen them headed in this direction before the scene commenced in the ballroom. As he approached a utility closet he heard raised voices, one of them with a distinct French accent.

Throwing open the door, he found Jean Jacques and Lily toe to toe in the closet. Their cheeks were flushed and both turned toward him.

“What?” they snapped at the same time.

Lily scowled at Antonio, her hands fisted, coming to rest on her hips. “Can’t you see we’re busy here?”

Antonio was surprised. On the few occasions he’d been around her she’d portrayed the image of sweetness and light. It would appear the woman had a temper to match her fiery hair.

“Please forgive me, Lily.” He gave her a half bow. “I need to borrow your companion for a few moments.”

Her expression morphed from pissed to quite pleased. She flashed him a wide smile. “He’s all yours.”

“Thank you, Lily.”

“You will wait here,” Jean Jacques growled at her.

“I don’t think so—”

“I did not ask you to think. You will do as I say.”

Lily’s eyes widened but to Antonio’s surprise, she didn’t respond. Just what the devil was going on here? His gaze moved from Lily to Jean Jacques. He’d never seen his brother’s business partner address a woman with anything other than total respect.

Jean Jacques sent her a dark look before stalking out of the room. Antonio followed him across the hall, and he noted the other man had left the door open to keep an eye on Lily. He was bemused to see Jean Jacques was unwilling to let the mouthy redhead out of his sight.

“How can I be of assistance?” Jean Jacques spoke.

“Earlier, you came into the ballroom with a blonde woman. What is her name?”

“Caught your eye, did she?” The other man’s smile was knowing. “She is very beautiful.”

“Her name?”

“Jane Porter, she is Lily’s business partner.” His smiled faded. “She’s also a good woman. If you or Santos do anything to hurt her you will both answer to me.”

“I can assure you, I’ve never mistreated a lady—”

“Giselle has been telling a different story.”

“She has?” Antonio had a sinking feeling this wasn’t going to be good.

“She’s telling everyone who will listen about how badly you treated her.”

“Consider the source.” Antonio snorted. “The only time I treated her with anything less than courtesy was when she broke into my apartment and I found her naked in my bed. I grabbed her clothing and shoved her into a cab while she screamed her head off.”

“She says you cheated on her.”

Antonio laughed. “She’s a gold-digging liar with a vivid imagination.”

“So it would seem.” Jean Jacques’ gaze was direct. “I have to admit her story didn’t sound anything like the man I know you to be.
