Enraptured (7 page)
Authors: Mel Teshco
Blaine dragged his stare from her and back to the other man.
“I’ve already ensured that you’ll be compensated for your trouble.”
The count emitted a heavy sigh. “I don’t want your money—”
Blaine looked out the elevator doors and jerked his head.
Two dark-haired beauties sashayed forward in gold-spangled micro dresses—twins,
if Kate wasn’t mistaken.
She couldn’t stop the peal of laughter bursting free. Only
Blaine would make up for the count’s loss, twofold!
“While I know no one else could ever make up for Kate, I
didn’t want your being alone on my conscience.” Blaine nodded to the twins. “Ladies,
meet Count Pierre Moretti.”
The count broke into a grin. “Hello, pretty little ladies.” Blaine
winked at her, before he took her nearest hand in his. “Let’s go home, Kate.”
Something shifted inside her chest. Brandy Alexander had
been a huge part of her life, but she wouldn’t be sad to say goodbye to her.
No. It was past time she shed her armor and revel just in being herself.
Plain old Kate Matthews.
Loved and adored by the one man she loved and adored back
with all her heart.
Seemed the life she’d once secretly dreamed of having was
about to come true after all.
Mel Teshco lives in rural Australia with too many animals,
too many children and not enough hours in the day to write!
Her loving husband is in training as a real-life hero and
waits patiently to retire on the success of his wife’s writing.
