Madeline stumbled midjog Tuesday morning when she saw her face on the cover of a tabloid paper.

She jerked to a halt on the cushioned running track along Boulevard du Larvotto and stared in dismay at the newsstand rack. Not one, but two papers carried photos of her and Dominic on their covers. She moved closer to examine the pictures of the two of them leaving the boat. With her hair tucked beneath her hat, her sunglasses covering part of her face and her profile angled away from the cameras, only her mother and closest friends would recognize her beside Dominic, who looked tall and commanding and royal.

Boy, had she misread him.

The captions were in French… or maybe Italian. She had no idea what they said. She reached into her shorts pocket for the euros she’d brought along to buy a bottle of water at the end of her run and picked up a copy of each paper. Her hands shook as she paid the man at the newsstand and accepted her change.

Hopefully Candace or Stacy would be able to translate. But were they awake yet? Despite their late nights here in Monaco, Madeline couldn’t seem to break her wake-at-dawn habit.

With her plan to burn off the surplus of calories she’d consumed recently with a long morning run derailed, she rolled the papers into a baton and jogged back to the hotel. She let herself into the suite. Silence greeted her. None of her suitemates were awake. But she couldn’t wait. She had to know what the articles said now.

So much for avoiding His Royal Hemorrhoid today by ducking out of the hotel early.

Returning to the hall she marched the length of the plushly carpeted corridor to Dominic’s door and mashed the doorbell long and hard. He’d gotten her into this mess. It would serve him right if she woke him.

The door opened. “Good morning, Ian. Where is he?”

She tried to enter, but Ian’s bulk blocked her way. “Prince Dominic is unavailable.”

“Make him available.”

The burly chest swelled. “Mademoiselle—”

“Let her in,” Dominic’s deep voice called from inside.

Five heartbeats later Ian stepped aside. Could he be a little more obvious that he didn’t want her here? Madeline plowed past him only to jerk to a halt at the sight of a black-robe-clad Dominic sitting at the table with coffee and a newspaper. The silky fabric gaped as he rose, revealing a wedge of tanned chest dusted in golden curls. Below the loosely tied belt his legs and feet were bare.

Was he naked under there?

Get over it. You’ve already seen him naked and you see naked men at work every day.

With no small effort she pried her gaze upward. Burnished stubble covered the lower half of his face. His hair was mussed and his pale eyes curious. Her mouth dried and her pulse quickened. Clearly her body had not received the message from her brain that she was totally and completely over him and that there would be no more nookie.

“Good morning, Madeline. You are eager for my company today.
