Blurb
When Char receives the news that she has
been promoted to partner, she should be ecstatic. Instead, she is in Puerto Rico , having fled there after finding her husband
in bed with another woman, her dreams of starting a family shattered.
Andy, her boss, unaware of
what has happened, tracks her down to bring her back home. Encouraged by the
tropical heat, the peaceful surroundings and the unending allure of water, they
are soon drawn to each other in a way they had never experienced before. Char
knows that her marriage is over. She also knows that an office romance is not
what she wants. Her heart and his actions, tell her otherwise.
Char consistently pushes
Andy away, trying to keep some semblance of order in her now-crazy life.
Getting through one last major account becomes her focus; then she can
concentrate on her future and her independence. Her plans are on track, until
she discovers an unexpected souvenir from Puerto Rico :
she is carrying Andy’s baby.
Excerpt
After the door slammed, Andy dialed
Payton’s number.
“It’s about time you answer your phone!
Where the h--l is my wife?”
“I’m doing great; thanks for asking. How
are you, Payton?”
“Cut the c--p, Banker. Where’s Charlie?”
“I don’t know.”
“What do you mean ‘you don’t know’? Why
the h--l haven’t you been answering your phone? You with her?”
“She took off, jack--s. I don’t know
where she’s at, but I do know she’s okay. At least, she was last time I talked
to her.”
“You talked to her?” He sounded
desperate to know anything he could.
“A few days ago, yes. My guess is she’s
cooling off. Just let her.”
“Don’t tell me how to handle my wife!”
“Fair enough. You want pointers on your
tart?”
“I figured she’d bawl to you about that.
Look—”
“S--k it, Payton. I’m not getting in a
p--sing match with you.
I’m not avoiding your calls; I just got
my phone replaced and I saw that you called. Letting you know she was okay last
I talked to her is as far as I’m going with you and trust me, that’s more than
you deserve in my book.” Andy hit end.
“And what do I deserve?” Andy found Char
standing at the doorway; she had been listening.
“Not his line of bull.”
“Really? Am I any better than he is?
Look at us.” Her lip began to tremble as she walked towards the bed then sat
down.
Andy sat next to her, wrapping his arm
around her. “It’s not the same, Char.”
“The h--l it isn’t.” Harshly, she wiped
away a tear.
“Under any other circumstances, this
would not have happened between us. We’ve been away on short trips before.
Nothing has ever happened. I didn’t think you could even stand to be around me
half the time.” He stood, picked up a box of tissues from the dresser then sat
back down. She accepted a few and blew her nose.
She let herself laugh a little. “I
couldn’t.”
“See?” he said with another one of his
grins.
“So what now?”
“Water skiing,” he replied,
matter-of-factly.
