discuss the specifics of this case. It’s been a few months since we last met and I’m sure you may need to go over some details,” Jeremy instructed.
    Coral strutted into my office, and instead of sitting in the chair directly in front of my desk, she glanced around and went over to the cream, leather love seat that sat against the wall across from my desk.
    I raised an eyebrow at her choice but remained quiet.
                  “So gentlemen, let’s get started, shall we? The sooner we can get this wrapped up, the sooner I can be out of your hair and on my way.” She smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes as she stared right at me.
                  I swallowed the lump in my throat. I knew I had hurt her feelings. She’d never say as much, but walking in and hearing me say how much I didn’t want her there had to be difficult. I couldn’t tell her that the truth was I wanted nothing more than for her to be by my side every minute of every day.

                  My heart sank when I walked up to Liam’s door and heard him yelling at Jeremy that he didn’t want me there. I quickly let that emotion switch to anger because I was done being hurt over Liam. I felt safer with my anger. I was pissed because first of all, I’d never done anything to him to make him want to keep his distance. Even after he declared to be in love with me only to run off with the beauty queen and get married, I never gave him any trouble. I didn’t even bother to ask him why. And second of all, this was someone who was once my best friend. We’d spent a decade being the most important people in one another’s lives. He knew me inside and out, and I thought I knew him. And I was not someone who got close to others. So yeah, hearing him say he wanted nothing to do with me pissed me off. But I wouldn’t let his funky attitude deter me. I was there to save his company and to save my own hide.
                  In the last few months since Jeremy came to Savannah, I’d been tying up loose ends with our other clients to make sure I could give this case my complete attention. Whoever this Ghost was already killed two of my former colleagues, and he might’ve also been after Liam. And like they say, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” So like it or not, Liam and I had a common enemy, making us friends, at least until we got to whoever this was. Once business with him was over, I could go on about my merry way, and he could continue to live in married bliss.
                  Even as I thought my plan through, I felt the twinge of pain in my chest at the thought of never seeing Liam again. The knowledge that he was married to someone else still stung as it did five years ago, but I’m good at faking it when necessary. So I did what I do best. I ignored my emotional turmoil and got down to business.
                  “Okay, since I’m here, let’s say you make this trip worth my while, and start from the beginning.” I was speaking to both men, but never took my eyes off Liam.

    Her scent was killing me. It had to be some mixture of coconut oil, cocoa butter, and her natural scent. I remembered that smell very well and as we walked along my offices, introducing her to my staff, my fingers itched to reach out and touch. We’d spent the better part of an hour going over the details of the problems we were having. Jeremy did most of the talking, and every once in awhile Coral would glance up at me and glare. I knew she was pissed from what she’d heard when she first entered my office. I felt like a heel and wanted to kick myself.
                  Once Jeremy left, Coral asked to be introduced to all my department heads and to see Larry’s office. Plans for later included taking her on a tour of the oil and energy facilities that were a part of headquarters. As we walked into Larry’s office,
