Chapter Eleven

SEVERAL hours later Jade woke to the tantalising aroma of grilled salmon.

Her nose twitched as she sat up, rubbed her eyes and glanced at the time. Looked like her nana nap had turned into an exhausted two-hour siesta. Considering her lack of sleep lately, she must’ve needed it. No prizes for guessing the cause of her insomnia.

As if on cue, Rhys knocked on the door before opening it and sticking his head in. ‘Dinner time, Sleeping Beauty.’

‘Be there in a sec.’

Better make that an hour, she thought as she washed her face and ran a comb through her messy hair. After dumping Julian she’d had her thick hair layered, opting for a less extreme change than getting the lot hacked off. Considering it was now totally unruly, refusing to behave to any ministering whatsoever, maybe she should’ve gone with the GI Jane look.

With a slash of pale pink lip gloss, she was ready. Poking her tongue out at her reflection, she marvelled at the changes in herself. A few months ago she wouldn’t set foot outside her palatial bedroom without a full face of make-up. Appearance had been everything. Unfortunately, she’d learned that the hard way.

Slamming the door on her memories, she headed for the main house, following the sounds of soft R & B from the living room.

Rhys had a thing for rhythm and blues. He also had a thing for soaring ceilings, bleached pine boards and views for miles around if this room was any indication.

The first time he’d given her the grand tour and she’d stepped into here, her mouth had dropped. She’d visited ostentatious palaces and showy mansions in her time, but this place demonstrated money could be used for subtle class.

Modular ebony leather sofas and reclining chairs, thick rugs, and a modern steel-enclosed open fire added to the ambiance created by the ivory walls, high exposed beams and those floor-to-ceiling windows showing nature at its best.

It should’ve clashed amid the rugged wilderness outside but, somehow, this house and everything in it blended into the landscape, as if a giant hand had scooped out a chunk of mountain and nestled the house inside the hole, cradling it, nurturing it, approving.

‘Hope you’re hungry.’

He stepped into the room, silhouetted against a window, rivalling the view for breathtaking beauty.

‘Starving.’

Helpless to stop her hammering heart, she sauntered towards the fire, where he’d laid out their dinner on a picnic rug.

She’d never had an indoor picnic, never done anything so wildly romantic, and it confused the heck out of her. When he’d stomped off on his fishing expedition earlier, she’d thought he’d retreat tonight. It wouldn’t have surprised her in the least if he’d feigned a headache and eaten in his room.

Yet here he was, playing the charming host, laying out a romantic setting complete with music. What was he up to? As if he didn’t bamboozle her enough without the trimmings.

‘This looks delicious.’

‘Thanks. Thought we’d dine informal tonight. Hope you don’t mind?’

‘Not at all.’

‘Good.’

Her mouth watered as he handed
