“Thank God you’re here.” Kevin gives me a one-armed hug, and I laugh at his overly relieved expression. “If you’d been much later, I would’ve been forced to eat with Darcy Hamilton.” He shudders at the thought of spending one minute alone with the jewelry heiress.

“That would be interesting. I think she only eats to give herself something to purge later.” He huffs in agreement, and I eagerly accept the martini he hands me. Closing my eyes, I savor the ice-cold vodka as it slides down my throat. It’s the only way I’m going to get through tonight. This time, it’s an “intimate” dinner in a private Brooklyn dining room with my parents and about fifty other politicos and lobbyists.

When I open my eyes, I’m surprised to see Kevin frowning at me. “What?”

“What, yourself—something’s up with you, little sister.” He grins at me, tapping his lips with a fingertip.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I blink innocently and try to distract him. “What do you think of this?” I slide a hand over the skirt of my plum-colored dress. “It’s out of this fabulous stretch silk I got from Italy. The twist at the neckline works for me, don’t you think?”

“Fabulous.” He takes my elbow and steers me over to a recessed doorway along the paneled wall. “Now start talking. Ah, ah…” He gives me a look that stops me midprotest. “It’s no use. Something is tying you in knots, and I know it’s not having to spend another boring evening entertaining lobbyists. I can see it in your eyes. Besides, you keep sneaking peeks at your phone and trying not to laugh, so spill.”

“Sweet crispy Christ.” I hastily take another sip. Sean is never far from my thoughts, whether I’m dealing with bridezillas, donors, or meddlesome brothers. It hasn’t helped that he keeps sending me hilarious texts…something about whacking off in public…and funny photos of himself and Sydney.

“Cassidy…” I look up into Kevin’s sympathetic eyes and suddenly begin talking, needing to confide in someone. I tell him all about Sean—his music academy, the band, the day on Governors Island—and then I tell him about Jack’s offer. As I talk, his eyes get bigger and bigger, and he slumps against the doorframe in disbelief. Finally, he laughs out loud, doubling over.

“Holy fuck, Cass,” he says through his chuckles, holding his stomach. Straightening, he takes my martini and drains it. “Sean Murphy is insane. And a genius. Above all, he’s guaranteed to make Mom and Dad’s heads explode when they find out.”

“I’m not sure if I want them to find out. At least, not yet.” I take my glass back, pluck out the toothpick with olives, and pop one in my mouth. Oh, so good. “Look, all this is new. New and scary and…” I chuckle in disbelief, still amazed that such a wild and passionate man has fallen into my life. “Kevin, I don’t know how to describe it. When I’m with him, I feel like one of those silly debutantes I see in my shop…all melty and giggly inside.
