I am a man slowly losing his mind. As I stand by the truck, helping the boys unload a fresh delivery of mulch, I watch Mya over by the greenhouse talking to a customer about tulip bulbs, and I settle into the acceptance of the fact that I am absolutely, without a doubt, falling in love with her.

I was trying to deny it for a while; I’m not sure why. Maybe I thought that seeing as I’m her boss and she’s my employee, Mya and I could have one of those purely physical relationships, and neither of us would get hurt. Maybe I thought that we could take it more slowly than they were going and it would give both of us time to come to terms with things.

But whatever I was thinking, I was wrong.

As I watch her smile and talk, toss her hair and shift her weight, unintentionally accentuating her hourglass hips, I know that I am, without question, completely in love with her.

Mya may in fact be my soul mate. It’s as though when Michael stole from me he was doing me a favor because firing him was what set all this in motion and brought Mya to me. If it wasn’t for him, would I ever have met her?

I like to think I would have, because she and I are meant to be together, and somehow, some way, the universe would have brought us together.

She told me about her dad leaving her when she was fifteen, and it broke my heart. I wanted to go hunt down the bastard and give him a good punch in the gut just to let him know what a son of a bitch he was for what he’d done to her. Any man who leaves his daughter like that is no real man, if you ask me.

She told me it was the reason she’s never really been able to trust men since then and why she tried leaving the first day she showed up here—why she didn’t want to take the job.

“I was afraid of you,” she told me. “Afraid I’d fall for you and that you’d hurt me.”

I understood when she told me that, but damn if it didn’t hurt me to hear her tell me that. Honestly, I’m surprised she’s stayed this long. Every day when I wake up, I’m wondering if she’ll be gone. If I’ll look over at the bed next to me and find it empty, her clothes gone from the closet and her car gone from the parking lot downstairs. I’m a strong man. I built this business on my own from nothing, and I manage the employees without anybody’s help, but the thought of losing Mya like that is enough to cause me a new kind of stress like I’ve never felt before.

And what will she do when I tell her I love her? Will she feel the same way and say it back, or does she get terrified and use that as
