Sean watched Hazel collect the bones in the shallow waters. They’d gotten off to a rocky start with the bodyguard thing in this very spot, but in the last two days, they’d settled into a working relationship that was much smoother. Now that he’d spent days watching her in her element, he almost couldn’t reconcile this Hazel with the party girl.

He’d liked the party girl just fine—too much, really. But this Hazel, she fascinated him. He could watch her all day… He couldn’t help but grin. Good thing, because that was exactly what Rav was paying him to do.

He was starting to forget the reasons he’d kept his distance from her over the years. But the job thing had been front and center and very valid that first night they met. No way could he hook up with the boss’s cousin in the garden just hours after meeting her—and he’d known that was exactly what Hazel had wanted.

Part of him had been a little angry with her that night, that she didn’t consider what it could mean for his job.

One did not bang the boss’s cousin hours after meeting her, especially when the job itself was brand-new. But for Hazel, he’d just been a guy her cousin brought home. There were no consequences for her beyond failed birth control or risking exposure to STDs.

On the flipside for him, she’d been the first person to make him feel in those first weeks after his father died. She’d made him laugh that night. He’d felt warm and excited and experienced a rush of joy and pleasure that had seemed impossible in the well of grief.

She’d been a light in the darkness. And a temptation he’d barely managed to resist, if only because a tryst in the garden would have been another way to forget his grief.

But she didn’t know any of that. He hadn’t told her that night that his father had passed away just weeks before. He’d avoided all conversation about his family so he wouldn’t have to mention the grief that nearly choked him, but strangely, that had led to him always avoiding the topic of his family with her. It was as if the subject was forbidden in his mind, or he’d have to explain the complicated emotional landscape he’d wandered the night they met.

Telling her about Katrina’s cancer had felt weird. Foreign. Katrina was the part of his life he’d walled off from this one particular woman for a reason he wasn’t sure he quite understood himself.

Proof Hazel wasn’t the only one who needed a psychotherapist. He’d never really worked out his issues surrounding his dad’s death. Might be time to actually deal with that. He wasn’t sure he’d ever quite realized he’d somehow managed to wrap Hazel into the pain at that time. Her only crime was being the sexy, sweet, fun emotional break he’d so desperately needed, and the pleasure he’d felt at meeting her had become a source of guilt.

He shook his head. He needed
