A few minutes later Piper reached toward the screen door to speak to Chase before he went home, but stopped. Nick and Chase still sat on the B&B’s front porch, talking about the resort. She’d love to know their honest thoughts.

“Did your company win the bid for landscaping?” Nick asked.

“The announcement hasn’t yet been made. My business partner will be furious with me if we don’t get it. Caleb believes Piper will be biased because I tried to stop her from developing the land.” He groaned loudly. “I didn’t mean to reveal that. I wanted to tell Piper first.”

“I won’t say anything, but how did you do that?”

Piper leaned closer to the screen. She wanted to know too. To her way of thinking he hadn’t done anything except refuse to support her. After what he did to get the project approved, she considered that ancient history.

“I put an offer on the property.”

“You tried to buy the land?” Nick’s voice rang with surprise. “I didn’t know your pockets were so deep.”

“They aren’t, but it didn’t stop me from trying. That doesn’t matter now. I had a change of heart and withdrew my offer.”

Piper caught her breath and yanked back from the screen. She’d known Chase didn’t want the development to take place, but to stoop so low as to make an offer for the property surprised her. Why hadn’t he said something? Chase continued to talk to Nick, but she couldn’t stand there a moment longer.

She trotted up the stairs to her room and shut the door. Disappointment and hurt pressed in on her. She couldn’t very well tell Chase she’d eavesdropped on his conversation. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich sounded better than spending the evening with a liar. She’d known he was against the development to begin with, but why keep his offer on the property a secret? She had no tolerance for deception.

Dad had guessed someone with an interest in the island had made the offer, but Chase? Betrayal left a sting in her heart. This was like Devon all over again, except this time her heart wasn’t involved. Or was it?
