"Hey, watch it, buster." Raquel placed one hand on her curvy hip."

Margo's a reporter."

"Anything for a story?" The expression on Jared's face now could only be called a smirk.

Margo elevated her chin and took a deep breath, sensing this was part of his secretive role. "You bet." She noted a wink of approval from Ms. Eastwood. Just how had Warren's new partner known she was a reporter? Well, it didn't really matter. This nightmare was almost file:///K|/eMule/Incoming/e%20==%20[Anthology]%20-%...20Jo%20Beverly,%20Jennifer%20Roberson%20(v1.0).html (184 of 335)22-12-2006 17:43:14

over, except for dealing with Jared.

Later.

Nick stripped off his dress and infernal high heels the minute his apartment door closed behind him. Thank goodness he and Grayson had seen the wisdom of opening their offices in an old Victorian. The upstairs was a furnished apartment—the perfect place for the new junior partner to hang out for a while.

The perfect halfway house for a halfway angel.

He had no idea how Séamus had managed to create a position for Raquel Eastwood in the firm, but it was like magic. From the moment Raquel had walked through the door, everyone treated her as if she'd gone through a normal hiring process and they'd been expecting her.

Amazing. Even Mrs. Brown, the old bat receptionist, hadn't suspected a thing. This divine intervention stuff had its merits.

Raquel had a driver's license, a Social Security card, a diploma hanging on her office wall, and she was a member of the Bar. She was as real as anyone else walking down the street.

"Yeah, and she looks a lot like a streetwalker, for that matter," Nick muttered.

Trying unsuccessfully to unhook his bra—aka torture band—he gave up and yanked it over his head. He used to be able to do it with one hand. Of course, it hadn't been behind his back then.

He grimaced as his breasts were freed from the confining garment. It was bad enough being in a woman's body, but why had Séamus felt compelled to make Nick so well-endowed? Raquel was at least a ten and a half. He glanced down at the lush breasts attached to his once flat, once hairy chest. Okay, maybe a twelve.

After pulling on an oversized T-shirt, he flopped into a chair in front of the television's blank screen. "Séamus, I don't know what got into you."

"Oh, stop your bellyachin', Nick."

less than angelic. "I saw Margo," Nick whispered on a sigh.

"Margo's a good person, and she deserves better than you."

Scowling upward, Nick scratched in a manner a lady wouldn't be caught dead doing. But then… he was already dead, and he sure as hell wasn't a lady.

"Where'd this body come from?" Nick asked. "Is this an Invasion of the Body Snatchers deal?"

"Don't worry about it. The body's owner lived and died in another time and place."

"Okay. So how do I go about finding Margo a new husband?" He chewed a long, manicured nail.
