Chapter 12

Sinclair stood at the gate closure, watching as Nick slowly approached the stallion. The animal tossed its head back, its nostrils flaring in agitation and its eyes on Nick, carefully watching as he approached.

The stallion was one of the most magnificent horses Sinclair had ever seen, which was saying a lot as she’d grown up on a ranch known for its acquisition of quality horses.

She frowned as she stared at the golden horse, trying to recall the name of the particular breed. She was no expert, but as she’d grown up around horses, she was very familiar with many types. It was magnificent: golden in color, nearly platinum, with a metallic-like bloom to its coat. The sun’s rays bounced and played off the animal’s body, enhancing the effect.

Yet, even with the natural majesty of the beautiful animal, it was Nick and Nick alone who held Sinclair’s attention.

The man had more swagger than any man she’d ever met. Natural swagger, something that was innate to a man and couldn’t be taught, learned or imitated; either he had it or he didn’t. And Nick had it.

His natural charm was intoxicating.

She kept her eyes trained on the action ahead, blocking out everything else even as the noise from around her grew louder.

She’d known from the chatter around the ranch that he’d bought a new horse. A gorgeous and rare stallion, but one that was near wild from what she’d heard in the cowboys’ excited comments.

When she’d heard Nick was about to “break” it, she’d carefully gathered the documents that she had been working on in the office and put them away. The fact that the documents weren’t ones pertaining to the Wildes and the Kealohas, but related to another case she was working on made her feel uncomfortable.

She and Nick hadn’t gone over the latest offer she’d put together. Each time she brought the topic up, he found something to distract her, from taking her to one of the orchards or gardens that his mother’s foundation supported, to showing her around the small community, to taking her to hideaway cafés that the tourists weren’t aware of.

All along she was getting to know him, discovering that beyond the fine exterior, the player image she’d so easily bought into, was so much more.

It was that “more” that had her worried. But she kept her perspective, and although she’d contacted the Wildes, she was told, just as Nick had been told by his brother, that she was “in charge.”

There were times, in the back of her mind, that she thought about it and wondered at both sides putting the situation solely into their hands. As well, she felt guilty for working on things for her few other clients, work that had nothing to do with the reason she was in Hawaii, but she forced the nagging feelings away.

“I think I’m going to head out and check out what’s going on,” she had said earlier as she’d stood from the leather chair and pushed away from the small desk.
