Tomorrow Will Be Too Late (37 page)

‘You don’t strike me
as
very patient now,’ she said, her voice breaking as she felt his lips go lower over the expanse of her neck. ‘Shouldn’t we be going to the reception now?’

‘Soon
.
’
H
is hair
was
silky soft against the sensitive skin of her breasts. ‘First
,
I need some answers, even if it means
missing out on the cake.’

‘Would you really want to work with me?’
s
he asked, gasping as his mouth closed over her already hardened nipple.

‘Very much so
.
’
H
e lifted his head momentarily, his eyes intent. ‘I know that we belong together,
Kate
. But I don’t mind waiting for you to come to the same conclusion, no matter how much time it will take. Three months seems like a
good initial
offer. We could always renegotiate it later.
’

‘You’re sure about that?’
Speaking
became harder as his caresses intensified. ‘
What
if you’re wrong?’

‘I’m not.’ He smiled again and looked at her with certainty
;
he meant every word he said. She nodded and let her hand explore the hard muscles of his back
that tensed
under her fingertips.

‘A
ll right
,
then
.
’
She
kissed his neck, unbuttoning the small white buttons with speed that would have
made
her blush if
her face
hadn’t already been flushed with heat.
‘
T
hree months it is.
Starting now
.
’

Deep down
,
she knew she
wouldn’t
need it. She understood just as well as he did that they truly belonged together, for better and for worse. No amount of lies and deception
had
managed to break the bond that
had
formed almost instantly
the moment
she laid eyes on him that fateful
May
evening two years ago. She was his
,
and he was hers, now and forever. And neither of them would settle for anything less.

James McMaster knows exactly what he wants.

His mentor and best friend, Steve Masden, died twelve years ago, his suicide shocking and unexpected.

Now James has been given the opportunity to avenge his friend’s death, a twist of fate putting into his path those responsible for the tragedy. Determined, powerful, and unwavering in his quest for justice, James has no doubts about his course of action. The three women who betrayed Steve and brought him to his knees will pay for his death in the only currency they understand.

James’s cold-blooded plan is working well until the moment he meets Emily Beggins, Steve’s stepdaughter. Could this dark-haired, brown-eyed girl with the sad smile manage the impossible and jeopardize his infallible plan for her family?

Emily’s life hasn’t been the same since her stepfather passed away. Running a successful restaurant business with her stepmom and stepsister can’t silence her conscience. The ugly secret haunts her each and every day.

Her fatal attraction to James McMaster is just the beginning of her problems. He’s engaged to her stepsister, and deep down, Emily knows that something hides behind his cool, impeccable façade. Something that will change her family’s life forever…
