The logical voice in Logan’s head told him this was a bad idea. He was undercover and while Mia wasn’t exactly a suspect, she wasn’t totally clear either. She pointed him to where guest spots were located and he parked. He considered all the ways this could go bad:

She might be involved in the forgeries.

But she just nailed Bishop and didn’t back down. If she was in on it, she would’ve lied or he would’ve called her out.

She might be running some other scam.

To what end? She’s been handed a raw deal with her father. She’s led a law-abiding life.

You could fall for her. At some point she’ll realize you’ve been lying to her and she’s completely out of your league.

Mia opened her door to get out and glanced at him over her shoulder with that teasing crooked grin and he made his decision.

It’s worth the risk.

He followed Mia into the building and then the elevator. Once the doors swished closed, he slid a hand around her hip and pulled her close, her back to his front. He brushed her hair from her neck and planted an openmouthed kiss at the juncture between her neck and shoulder. She gave a little shudder and leaned against him. The doors reopened and she straightened away from him.

She unlocked the door and set her keys and purse on a side table. “What would you like to drink?”

“Uh, whatever you have is fine.” He took in his surroundings. Never before had anything so blatantly smacked him as much as this décor did. He was almost afraid to touch anything. A huge marble fireplace took up most of one wall. In front of it was a leather couch that probably cost a month of his salary. Everything was pristine and perfect.

A moment later, Mia was standing in front of him with a glass of whiskey. “Something wrong?”

“No.” He accepted the glass and took a sip. The smooth burn was another reminder of how far out of his league she was. His brain scrambled to keep up. He’d known she had money. Even after her father ran and the government seized assets, Mia had an inheritance in trust from her mother’s side of the family.

“Are you sure? If you don’t want this, it’s okay. It can be just two friends sharing a drink.”

Damn. “It’s just that... I knew you had money, but this place is amazing. I guess I didn’t realize how rich you are.”

“Is my wealth an issue?”

He knew it shouldn’t be. Logically. “You know I don’t come from money, right? I’m not part of your world. I’m a visitor that most people will overlook.”

She reached up and stroked his cheek. “Then let’s enjoy your visit. One of the things I like best about you is that you’re not from my world. You have no personal feelings about my last name—you’re not using it to get ahead or as a weapon against me. And right now, that’s enough.”

It probably wouldn’t be enough for long.
