Cash Campbell was hands-down the best kisser Alexa had ever laid her lips upon.

Of course he had to be her boss. She couldn’t have it easy and be swept up by a man who came without complications.

But soon Luke would return to Cohen’s as CEO and Cash would no longer be her boss. Because he’d be in Thailand, working for a new company.

Alexa placed a hand against Cash’s chest, wanting to remain absorbed in the kiss rather than her thoughts. But knowing she was giving him the wrong impression about being his date, she slowly broke the kiss despite wishing it could go on forever.

She cleared her throat and tried to steady herself, glad she was seated. She didn’t feel as though her legs could do a sufficient job of supporting her after that kiss. Because their attraction from the office? Yeah, it was pretty darn real. As real as being hit by a bullet train, and she didn’t expect to regain her footing for some time.

“How did you two meet?” asked a woman from across the table.

Alexa struggled to focus on the question and her surroundings. Waiters were weaving among the tables, delivering salads. Next would come chicken or fish, depending on the guest’s preference. After that would come the dance and the cake, just like at a real wedding reception.

She wanted to grab Cash’s hand and run from the room, steal him away all for herself. But the woman was waiting for an answer, ignoring her salad. Alexa knew from her place setting that she was Mary Alice Bernfield, a guest who’d flown in on one of the chartered flights from Blueberry Springs Alexa had arranged on behalf of Luke and Emma for their friends and colleagues.

“We work together,” Cash said, standing to reach across the table to shake hands. He introduced himself to everyone, committing names to memory in that genuine way of his that always impressed her.

“Dating the boss?” Mary Alice asked slyly.

“We’re…” She wasn’t sure what to say.

“Engaged,” Lucille stated.

The lie felt wrong and Alexa opened her mouth to set the story straight, but Cash continued with the tall tale. “She’s the only woman who’s always treated me the same whether I was rich or poor.”

“Well, everyone has their faults,” Alexa joked uneasily. “Mine is spending all my money on horses in need of rescue. I have a ranch of them back in Montana. Yours happens to be women and fast cars. It would be hypocritical of me to judge.”

Cash didn’t smile at her ribbing, a flash of hurt in his eyes setting her back.

“A lot of people treated me differently after I lost everything to a tsunami in the South Pacific,” he said, his voice low.

“Tsunami?” Mary Alice repeated, leaning forward.

“What were you doing in the South Pacific?” Alexa asked, confused at this obviously sizable side to Cash that she’d been unaware of. All she’d heard from Luke, when he’d told her Cash was taking over and would be housesitting for him was to pay his house bills as per usual and to let him know if anything odd came through.
