“This is the best day of my life.”

Anna caught her cousin’s gaze in the reflection of her full-length mirror. “Seriously,” she said slowly, “this day? What about the day Brady told you he loved you for the first time?”

Shaelyn paused to consider that with a tilt of her head. “Nope, today’s the winner.”

From Anna’s bed, the third member to their trio, Jade Harper, held up her hand. “I solemnly swear not to tell Sergeant Taylor you said that.”

Shae snorted. “Girl, you are such a law enforcement nerd.”

“To be fair, she does work for the NOPD,” Anna pointed out as she stuck her face close to the mirror and layered on two rounds of black mascara.

Only a few months earlier, Jade had found herself embroiled in one of the most publicized homicide cases New Orleans had seen in recent years. She’d cracked the case and ended up in the hospital as a result—but Anna highly doubted Jade looked back on that period of her life too harshly. She’d worked the case with Nathan Danvers at her side, one of Brady’s coworkers in the NOPD’s homicide unit, and a man who loved Jade more than life itself.

Anna had watched the whole thing go down as an outsider, and even though she had no desire to be a cop—she was just fine selling lingerie, thank you very much—she couldn’t help but feel a little envious of Danvers’ and Jade’s relationship.

The two of them were truly best friends. The romance was just the dessert after a four-course meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Anna tossed the mascara tube into her makeup bag. “Perfume? No perfume? Did I mention that I’m thankful to y’all for keeping an eye on Julian tonight?”

Shaelyn, ever the more boisterous one of the two cousins, plunked down on Anna’s leather bench. “Jules is my favorite. Also, what scents do you have?”

“The usual, I guess. Rose, lavender, that sort of thing.”

“My sister would be horrified at the small selection,” Jade said, referring to her younger sister who’d recently moved to New York City and was making waves in the fashion world. “The last time she and my mom came to visit, Sammie dragged me to this herbal shop in the Quarter. She was determined to find me a new scent.”

Anna’s heart kicked up its speed at the mention of Herbal Heaven. It’d been a week since she’d sent Mr. Green Eyes stumbling to the ground, and the embarrassment had yet to lessen.

Sticking her hand into one of Anna’s makeup bags, Shaelyn pulled out a small glass bottle with a pretty pink topper. She uncapped the top, drew in a deep sniff, and then passed it over. Wordlessly, Anna accepted the perfume and spritzed the lavender scent on her inner wrists.

For her first date in what felt like forever, she was going big. Blonde hair blown out around her shoulders, little black dress, and her favorite designer stilettos—if she and tonight’s date didn’t hit it off, it wasn’t for a lack of trying on her part.
