After Grace left, AJ cursed himself for being a damn fool. What insanity made him think asking Grace out to lunch was a good idea? Especially after being around her all morning rubbed his self-control tissue thin, and left his body tied in one giant knot.

He’d nearly come undone when she’d strolled out of the dressing room wearing that feminine little bit of nothing top that showed off her smooth, milky shoulders, and long neck, meant for a man’s kisses. Add to that the jeans molded to her lush hips, and he’d been in trouble, and thinking about doing all kinds of things with Grace. None of which had anything to do with friendship.

No doubt about it, being a glutton for punishment was the only explanation for him asking her out to lunch. But thankfully the good Lord did indeed protect fools and children. In AJ’s case by making sure Grace had plans. And what had he done? He’d offered to make dinner instead.

But he’d had an ulterior motive for his offer. Since staying at the inn, he’d searched the Carriage House and Guest House, but hadn’t found any notes. For the past two days he’d tried to search the Main House, but with little success. Whenever he was at the inn, Grace was there. Between that fact, and work, he hadn’t been able to search the Main House. This morning he realized if he didn’t get to it, the pipes would be fixed, and he’d have blown his opportunity.

That meant searching while Grace was asleep. If he made dinner and spent time with her tonight, he could figure out her nighttime routine, and see if she was a night owl. Then he could gauge when to search.

Keep telling yourself that, buddy. A couple of hundred times and you might believe it’s why you suggested dinner. That way you can deny the invitation had anything to do with you enjoying spending time with her.

Pulling out his phone, he ordered a burger and fries to go from The Horseshoe. If he hurried he could visit the Tourist Bureau to check out the printed material there. Then he could pick up his lunch, and eat it in peace before Mason arrived.

Thanks to Grace.

As AJ headed across the town square, he smiled, thinking of how she’d handled the older man. While he wasn’t accustomed to anyone running interference for him, he decided he could get used to it right quick. Some men might be threatened by a woman stepping in, but being a modern twenty-first century guy, he didn’t mind.

He also had Grace to thank for landing him his first real lead on his forgery case. He walked into the Tourist Bureau, and the familiar rush at having a lead to pursue surged through his veins when he discovered the same results as the businesses in town. Langston Printing had done little of the information available for tourists. That fact led him to believe the shop relied more on online and out-of-town business, which raised another red flag.
