told Sierra that John Harlow was clearly smitten with the vivacious redhead.
    Though Sierra sometimes got tired of him being underfoot, she knew Dottie enjoyed the attention. Rounding an Edwardian oak bookcase, Sierra lifted her lips in a welcoming smile.
    She stopped short and her breath caught in her throat. An involuntary shiver raced up her spine.
    “I see you finally decided to come to work.” Matt rose to his feet, amusement lacing his deep voice. A corner of his mouth twitched with a hint of a smile.
    It was obvious he was only teasing, but the words still stung. Sierra had been a hard worker all her life and taking it easy didn’t come naturally. Sierra could feel her face warm. She started to explain her actions and to justify her late arrival. But at the last minute she shut her mouth and reminded herself that she was the boss for the summer and she didn’t need to answer to anyone.
    Sierra drew herself up straight and met his gaze with a disdainful haughtiness she didn’t even know she possessed. “What can I do for you, Mr. Dixon?”
    Though she caught a flash of surprise in Dottie’s eyes at her brisk tone, Sierra only lifted her chin higher.
    Matt chuckled and grinned. “Did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?”
    He looked so boyishly handsome that she had to smile back.
    “Actually, I’ve been up for hours,” Sierra said. Why it was important for him to know she wasn’t lazy, she wasn’t sure. Maybe it had something to do with the grudging admiration she’d seen in his eyes yesterday when he’d talked about the waitress working two jobs.
    “Mr. Dixon brought you something,” Dottie said, smiling warmly at the younger man.
    “Matt,” he reminded Dottie, a dimple flashing in his cheek.
    “Matt,” Dottie concurred and something that sounded suspiciously like a giggle slipped past her lips.
    Sierra resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the shameless flirting.
    Still, she could see how the older woman could be captivated. After all, the guy had only looked at her yesterday and she’d practically melted. If the waitress hadn’t stopped by when she did, Sierra might have kissed him.
    There was just something about the man….
    He’d risen when she’d walked up and he still stood next to the table. She glanced over to find him watching her. He radiated a vitality that drew her like a magnet and she found herself extremely conscious of his virile appeal.
    Sierra tried to throttle the dizzying current racing through her. She met Matt’s gaze and lifted an eyebrow. “You have something for me?”
    He smiled and held out a manila envelope. “I was on my way to meet with some accountants about the Center and I thought I’d drop this additional information off on my way.”
    Sierra took the envelope from his hands, her fingers brushing against his, causing her skin to tingle.
    Her breath caught in her throat and she looked up to find him staring with a steady gaze.
    “You’re meeting with the accountants?” Sierra masked her inner turmoil with a deceptive calmness.
    He nodded. “Just ironing out some last-minute financials.”
    “Why wasn’t I invited?” Sierra asked.
    Matt seemed surprised by the question.
    “I didn’t think you’d be interested,” he said with a shrug. “We’re not going to be discussing anything earth-shattering. It’ll just be some boring, financial stuff.”
    Normally boring, financial stuff wasn’t something Sierra sought out. In fact when it did cross her path, she usually backed up and ran the other way. But this particular boring, financial stuff related to the Center so she figured she should be interested. And she’d promised Libby she’d be involved.
    “I’d like to hear what they have to say,” Sierra said. “How about if I tag along?”
    The beginning of a smile tipped the corners of Matt’s lips. “I’d love to have you come with me.”
    The door jingled and Dottie rose to her feet with a regretful sigh. “Duty
