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 hell is my wife?”
“I’m doing great; thanks for
asking. How are you, Payton?”
“Cut the crap, Banker.
Where’s Charlie?”
“I don’t know.”
“What do you mean ‘you don’t
know’? Why the hell haven’t you been answering your phone? You with her?”
“She took off, jackass. 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—”
“Suck it, Payton. I’m not
getting in a pissing 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 hell 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.
