Chapter One

The weekend before Christmas, and Amy Parker was going to spend it in Hawaii.

How utterly romantic. Warm sands, miles of breathtaking ocean, fragrant flowers, the

place of romance.

Though romance wouldn’t be on her radar this weekend. She was going to be there

for her job, not love. Work was her love, her romance.

How utterly dull—but necessary, if she was going to become senior partner at the

firm. Work had to come first. It always had.

Amy stretched, stifling a yawn. She cast a quick glance over at Justin Garrett, her

traveling companion and associate at the law firm. He’d been sound asleep and snoring

for hours, his long legs stretched out, his head leaning against the side wall of the plane,

arms crossed over his chest. Oh why not? It was just the two of them on the corporate jet.

Not like he was bothering anyone. Except her. How the hell could he sleep when there

was so much work to do?

She knew how. He’d let her do all the work while he dozed almost the entire five

hour flight from Los Angeles to Maui. After giving her no more than a half hour of his

attention while they worked on contracts, he’d told her they could do the rest when they

landed. He thought they were prepared and accused her of overthinking. Then again, he

always did that to her.

Then he’d gone to sleep, while she’d spent the better part of two and a half hours

making sure all the legal documents were ready, that they hadn’t missed any of the

important items, and setting the agenda for their meeting with their client, Mitch

Magruder. They’d worked months on the divestiture of one of Mitch’s companies to a

national sporting goods chain, and they needed to finalize this before year end. Mitch was

on a tight schedule, which was why they were on a plane headed to Hawaii right before

Christmas. She’d allow nothing to screw this up, including the man who slept next to her.
