When the play ended and the curtain fell, Chase hurried out of his private box in search of Theodore. Throughout, he’d watched the leading woman closely—the way she moved, the graceful, lithe body as she did yoga on the stage. She was the perfect woman for his parents to meet, and hell, she was a damn actress. Having her act like his fiancée all weekend would be a walk in the park for her.

“Ah, Mr. Valentine! You look as if you truly enjoyed the play,” Theodore called out when Chase reached the lobby. “What did you think?”

“I think I would love to be introduced to your leading lady, if I may,” he said quickly, hoping he hadn’t missed his chance.

“But of course. If you’d wait by the stage, I’ll send her out when she’s finished changing,” Theodore said with a glint in his eyes, chuckling as he walked away.

Chase thought of calling after him that it wasn’t for any other reason than a business proposition but let him walk away. Let the old man think what he wanted. Chase had no intention of dating this woman he wanted to hire for a job. He would get through the cruise and tell his parents later it hadn’t worked out and he was back to being a bachelor, probably for good. His life was better that way, less complicated. There was nothing to fear if he were alone, enjoying his one-night trysts with women who were drawn to his money and power.

He needed nothing else in his life to be content, though never necessarily happy.

When he reached the stage, he paced back and forth, one hand shoved deep in his pocket while the other tugged at his tie. He hated the damn thing and finally yanked it off, stuffing it in his pocket. The small, silver pendant he wore, an old Norse coin, rested against his chest, and he pulled it out, twisting it between his fingers. If this didn’t work, if the woman turned him down, he would have no choice but to tell his parents the truth.

“You wanted to meet me?” A voice, deeper than the one he’d heard during the play but with the same strong pitch, brought his feet to a halt. He turned and there she was, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. “What can I do for you, Mister…?”

“Chase Valentine,” he said and held out his hand to her.

She eyed him curiously but sat down on the edge of the stage so her legs dangled off and took his hand. He was almost taller than her like that, and he realized how short she must be. “Grace Summers. Theodore said you wanted to talk?”

“Grace, very fitting name,” he said roughly, staring. From the upper view of the box, he thought she was pretty, but being this close to her caused his heart to pound. His hands wanted to reach out and brush the auburn curls from her face. He shook his head to clear the sudden need to lean forward and kiss this woman.
