Teresa tried Liam by phone as soon as she got off her call with Nadia, but he didn’t answer. She wasn’t surprised after the way she’d acted last night, kissing him on the dance floor. Seeing her name on the caller ID was probably enough to make him turn his ringer to mute and block her number. He might even chuck his phone into Puget Sound. Which meant that she was going to have to track him down in person. She was going to have to swallow her pride, twice, up close and personal.

For that reason, she knew she needed to put her best self forward. That meant striking a balance between business polish and weekend casual—form-fitting jeans, her favorite Jimmy Choo black boots and a sleek black cardigan that showed off just enough of her assets to hopefully keep Liam off-kilter enough to accept her apology. Or more accurately, apologies, plural.

Coffee in hand, she raced over to Liam’s through driving rain. She was still angry with herself for the way she’d acted at Gideon’s party, although now that the fog had cleared and she had the perspective of a new day, she knew the reason she’d done it. She’d regretted not kissing Liam one other time in her life—the night they met. Regrets did nothing but hold you back as far as Teresa was concerned, and she did her best to avoid them by not being afraid to go for it. Trying and falling flat on your face was preferable to being left with questions. Teresa did not do well with the unknown or chances not taken. She always wanted to know what she was up against or what was out there in the world for the taking.

Liam’s house was in Leschi, which was situated on Lake Washington. It was one of the most affluent areas of Seattle, like West Mercer, where his childhood home was. But Leschi was more diverse, more new money than old. Teresa had to wonder if this had been a conscious decision for Liam, in an attempt to distance himself from his father. Yes, Liam was a formidable businessman, but he was still working for his dad, still living in his shadow. Perhaps that was part of the reason he was so protective of the Sasha project.

Much like the man himself, Liam’s house was an elegant fortress, with tall stone walls and a modern wrought-iron gate. She rolled down her window, heavy rain still falling, and jabbed the button for the intercom, then quickly pulled her arm back inside the car. The sleeve of her sweater was already soaked.

“Yes?” a woman’s voice said through the speaker.

“Teresa St. Claire to see Liam,” she called loudly, to avoid having to stick her entire head out the window. Several moments ticked by, the rainwater rolling into her car and dripping onto her pants leg. It would be just like Liam to send her away or make her sit there while she got waterlogged. But instead, the gate rumbled and swung open.
