his eyes and then fixed his gaze on Natalia. "You'll have to excuse my little brother. He gets a little hyper sometimes. If you want, I'll help you keep an eye on him."
    Did she hear correctly? Her son offered to help with his little brother? There was a first time for everything.
    Lydia whispered in her ear, "I think someone has the hots for the nanny."
    After Lydia's comment, Evelyn ventured a closer look at her son. Sure enough, he sported an almost goofy grin and glazed-over eyes. At sixteen, Natalia was too old for his mere twelve, but her dark skin, chocolate eyes, and long black hair made her a captivating and beautiful young woman. Just like Monique. Maybe the Walters men couldn't resist dark-haired beauties. Her husband…ex-husband certainly couldn't.
    "I'll be happy to take the boys swimming, Ms. Alexander. What time shall I bring them back to the room?"
    "Dinner's at six. If you could bring them back by five, that should give them plenty of time to get ready. The beach bag is just inside the door of our room."
    The children ran off, Natalia leading the way, to secure the necessary bag. "Smart idea bringing along a nanny." Lydia said. "Where did you find her?"
    "Her mother works at the firm, and Natalia has helped out a few times over the summer. She was very professional and responsible in all the dealings I've had with her, so I thought it would be a good idea." She stopped short of adding that since Michael wasn't her biggest fan right now, the nanny would serve as a nice buffer between them. She hoped the space would make him happier. If he was happy, maybe she could build on that happiness to repair their relationship.
    Lydia's gaze bore into hers as though searching for something. The truth, maybe. Thankfully, Bruce saved her. "Well, this isn't Pittsburgh, and I'm the only engineer within miles, but I'm thinking a walk along this beach is in order. Will you join me, my love?"
    Lydia turned to her husband and smiled affectionately. "You're such a charmer. You'll be all right by yourself, Evelyn?"
    "Of course. You two lovebirds run along. I'm going to enjoy the view for a few minutes and watch the boys play. Then I intend to find a nice chair by the pool and read one of the fifteen books on the ereader Melodie insisted I bring on the trip.
    "All fairy tales and romance, no doubt." Lydia took her husband's hand and winked.
    "No doubt." If you looked up hopeless romantic in the dictionary, Mel's picture would undoubtedly be included in the details.
    When the couple cleared from in front of her, she focused again on the beautiful ocean. The azure hue of the water mesmerized her and, for a moment, soothed away the complicated mess of her life. Placid and peaceful, two attributes the water possessed, which she longed to claim as her own once again. Chaos and disorder presently ruled her day-to-day decisions. If she didn't escape madness and find control again soon…
    The water rippled as a body emerged from its depths. Damn it all. Men were always the reason for the disturbance. In the water…in my life. The sun backlit his body, casting him in silhouette, but she knew instinctively whom that body belonged to. Broad, chiseled shoulders led to a muscled chest. His waist, though not as thin as when she first met him, still narrowed to hips that fit perfectly against her body. She wet her lips. An image of Cody using his tongue to lick beads of water from her skin drenched the memory with heated arousal. She imagined the taste of the salt water as she slowly licked each drop from his tanned chest.
    Her internal temperature continued to rise with each step he took, bringing him closer to her. Her sunglasses camouflaged the intensity of her stare as she watched his approach. His body pushed every sensual button she owned, a picture of temptation wrapped in a mouth-watering package. Droplets of cool water hit her skin as Cody shook his head and grabbed his towel. A cold shower she needed at the moment. A quick check
