Early the next morning Aisha left Pasco sleeping in his king-sized bed and, after pulling on his button-down shirt, padded across his enormous bedroom, skirted the small lounge within his enormous sleeping quarters, and glanced right and...

Stopped.

How could she not?

The sky was awash with shades of pink and purple, accompanied by the music of the sea drumming the rocks below his deck. Entranced by the magical colours, Aisha walked over to frameless folding doors, found the mechanism to slide them open, grateful when the doors opened without a whisper of a sound.

She needed a moment alone, to stand in the magical light and bliss out on the incredible view.

Aisha walked onto the patio running the length of the apartment, skirted the long lap pool, stopping to dip her toe into the water—it was heated, of course—and leaned her elbows on the glass balustrade, also unframed. She recognised the beach to her right as being Moses Beach, a highly desirable location. From Pasco’s apartment one could enjoy outstanding views of the sea, white sand, and the incredible tip of Africa sky.

The only thing that would make this view any better would be a cup of coffee.

And, possibly, a lobotomy.

Exquisite sunrise or not, there was no getting around the fact she’d slept with her ex last night, the man she needed to work with for the next month. Slept with? Ha, no! She’d devoured him, all but climbed inside him. They’d started in the hallway, moved onto the open-plan reception lounge—she recalled massive cream couches and outstanding, vibrant, oversized art—and finally made it to his bedroom, where they’d rolled around on his California king.

Aisha gently banged her forehead on the edge of the glass balustrade, wondering if she’d completely lost her mind. What had she been thinking? Had she been thinking at all?

She’d been here before, been enthralled by Pasco, and she hadn’t liked playing second fiddle to his career and his priorities. She’d vowed never to give him—any man—that sort of power over her again. She didn’t trust love, couldn’t rely on it—it was a lesson her family had taught her and Pasco had reinforced—so she had to focus on what she could control, what she could rely on. And that was her work. Becoming involved with Pasco, even at a purely superficial level, would be a distraction from what she needed to do at St Urban.

She didn’t have the time for a fling, for a lover, and she couldn’t afford to be distracted. She was so close to the goal she’d set for herself when she first joined Lintel & Lily all those years ago.

She would not let her intense and inconvenient attraction to her ex-husband and current work colleague impact her professionalism. She was better than that. She’d obey the rules.

Aisha looked at the oversized men’s watch on her wrist, saw that it was just past six, and thought about calling for an
