CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Lola couldn’t believe how badly her day had spiraled out of control. She’d been so clear about her purpose when she’d been driving hell for leather to Boston. Find Duncan, convince him to do right by Moira, then get the heck out of town without being wowed by his charm, his gorgeous face…or by how much she wanted to feel his arms around her.

She wasn’t anywhere near keeping to her plan, damn it!

On the plus side, he was fully on board with helping Moira. Unfortunately, instead of now being back on the road to Bar Harbor, Lola was in Duncan’s car on the way to participating in his client’s fashion show. It didn’t help that she couldn’t stop looking at his hand on the gearshift and remembering how good it felt whenever he’d touched her. It was torture being this close to him.

If only she wasn’t such a soft touch. Having been a part of several fashion shows over the years to showcase her fabrics, she knew how devastated the designer must feel upon losing her most important model only hours before the show. She shoved away a voice in the back of her head that said the biggest reason she’d offered to help was because she wanted to spend more time with Duncan. She refused to admit that held even the barest hint of truth.

Steeling herself against the foolish emotions that kept trying to sneak in past her defenses—especially with Duncan sitting so close to her in his sports car that if she simply moved her left arm a bit, she’d be able to put her hand on his muscular thigh—Lola worked to refocus her thoughts on Serafina’s fashion show. She hoped she would fit into the wedding gown without too many time-consuming alterations. Then again, if she needed to play seamstress, she would happily step in and put her sewing skills to the test.

At last, they pulled up in front of the Boston Center for the Arts and Lola was able to escape the close quarters of Duncan’s car. She desperately needed space. Breathing room. And, most of all, time to get her head back on straight and remember that he was not the man for her.

She wasn’t going to bother consoling herself with the thought that there were other fish in the sea. Nope, she was done fishing. She had learned her lesson, for good this time.

No. More. Men.

Serafina was instantly recognizable—she had a half-dozen pins in her mouth, a needle in her hand, and was still managing to give directions out the side of her mouth. Apart from her colorful hair wrap, she was dressed in head-to-toe black.

Catching sight of Lola and Duncan, she stuck the pins from between her lips into the pin cushion on her wrist. “Thank God. You’ll be a near-perfect fit for the wedding dress! And it doesn’t hurt that you’re drop-dead gorgeous. My dress is going to look amazing on you.” She turned to Duncan. “Where did you find this incredible woman?”

“It was pure luck.
