If only Theo hadn’t leapt to her defence like that, thought Kate, tossing and turning in bed that night as the memory of it circled around in her head and an unwelcome, unshakeable fuzzy warmth enveloped her.

She couldn’t remember the last time someone had stood up for her, and the way he’d gone about it... The energy that had suddenly poured off him, the take-no-prisoners attitude of his and the sense of protectiveness... It was dangerously attractive and all too appealing to a certain someone who was starved of attention and achingly lonely. So appealing, in fact, that when they’d pulled up outside her building after a tautly silent journey, she’d inexplicably found herself wanting to ask him in for coffee, and maybe even more than that, which would have been unwise to say the least.

The trouble was, what he’d done made him so much harder to hate, and she needed to hate him because if she didn’t, she could well end up liking him, and then where would she be? At the top of a very slippery slope that plummeted from the dizzying heights of excitement and hope to the miserable depths of disappointment and heartbreak, that was where.

But she had no intention of venturing anywhere near that slide so she could not allow his brief moment of chivalry detract from the rest of his lousy personality. She had to focus on the blackmail and the ruthlessness and not the feel of his hand on her elbow that burned her like a brand and the mesmerising eyes, dark with seething outrage and grim determination on her behalf.

She also had to accept that realistically there’d be many more naysayers like Samantha and Rebecca out there. Who knew what the press would make of the engagement? Of her? And then there were her colleagues. Her sister. How were they going to react?

She had no idea about any of it, but one thing was certain. If she had any hope at all of surviving the next few weeks, with whatever Theo or circumstances threw at her, ice-cool control and steely self-possession were the way to do it.
