The day conspired against Rebecca. Phone calls to Muriel and Hugh failed to shed any light on Jace’s whereabouts. She was informed by the Mavericks’ batting coach that Jace had been to the ballpark and left again.

By the end of the day she was exhausted, disheartened, and depressed. For good measure, she gave herself another forty lashes of mental punishment as she prepared to lock up her office and leave for home.

Electronic bleeping and rattling accompanied Merlin as the robot rolled into the exercise room. Rebecca went to her door and opened it, starting at the chattering little machine as it motored toward her, backed her into the edge of her desk, then stopped. Lights flashing, it spewed out computer paper. With her heart lodged in her throat, Rebecca tore off the message and read it.

PLEASE ACCOMPANY ME, MISS BRADSHAW.

Not sure whether it was a friendly invitation or a royal command, Rebecca gathered up her purse and followed the robot, locking her office door behind her. Merlin led her down the hall to the elevator. When they reached the main floor, it buzzed toward the automatic doors that led out to the parking lot.

Jace stood leaning back against her blue Honda, the late afternoon sun turning his hair golden. Rebecca’s heart bumped against her ribs. He looked so handsome to her, more so now than he had seven years ago. She liked the rough edges time had given his looks. Standing by her car in worn jeans and a dark blue shirt, he looked tough and utterly masculine. He straightened as their gazes met, tension squaring his shoulders.

“Hi.”

“Hi,” Rebecca said, as nervous as a teenager just discovering boys. Her ability to read people’s moods deserted her as she looked at Jace, and a sense of panic shivered through her. What if he wouldn’t accept her apology? What if he was fed up with her attitude?

Why did it matter so much?

She nibbled at her lip and pushed the question to the back of her mind.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong,” she said.

Jace felt a tug at his heart. Rebecca looked like Anne Boleyn ready to face the executioner. He’d been angry enough that morning to volunteer for the job, but his temper had cooled. Actually, he’d vented it at batting practice, all but knocking the covers off the balls that were thrown at him. By the time he’d left the ballpark, the only thing that had mattered to him was being in love with her and wanting to spend his life with her. The new Jace Cooper wasn’t going to back down just because of a misunderstanding.

“I shouldn’t have accused you, Jace,” Rebecca said, her green eyes pleading for forgiveness she didn’t think she deserved.

Jace gathered her close, wrapping his arms around her and holding her like the precious treasure she was. She was his salvation. Memories of her love had gotten him through hell and lured him to take the second chance fate had offered. How could he not forgive her
