      “I did that. Several jobs, actually, because I can’t give her enough work for one full-time job, so I needed to improvise. I decided I could use a housekeeper more than anything. She won’t have to pay rent, and she’ll have money left over at the end of the week. Now, what’s your objection?”

      “If she finds out I had anything to do with this—”

      “I already promised you she wouldn’t. What else?” Because he knew there was more. He was just waiting for her to say it.

      “You can’t sleep with her, Kincaid.”

      “For the sake of argument, why not?” Because the idea wasn’t as impossible as he’d thought a couple of days ago.

      “Because you’re not the marrying kind, and she needs a marrying kind.”

      “I think that’s up to her, don’t you? Anyway, that’s not on my agenda. I thought you’d be happy. She’ll be in a safe place with plenty to do, and leisure time, as well. No more commuting to Sacramento. A backyard for Emma. I think I hit the ball out of the park for you.”

      “I’ll be keeping close tabs. I’ll call her a lot.”

      “I’m sure she’ll like that.” He found himself grinning. Dixie could be almost as stubborn as Shana.

      “So, I should just say thank you?”

      “That would be nice. I’ve disrupted my life a lot for you.”

      “Thank you.”

      He laughed. “That didn’t sound too sincere.”

      “I’m awaiting the outcome. I do appreciate that you are doing something for her. I’m just worried about exactly what that is.”

      “You trust me, or you wouldn’t have asked,” he said, taking the stress level down a few notches. “I’ll do right by your sister.”

      “Thank you,” she said, a genuine tone in her voice this time.

      “You’re welcome. Feel free to call and check anytime.”

      “I will.”

      He laughed then they hung up. Having Dixie find out about the live-in situation had been his biggest hurdle, and he’d jumped it.

      You can’t sleep with her. It hadn’t been on his mind for the past year, yet suddenly the idea of it was there, circling him, burning the image in his head.

      He was counting on the fact she would be difficult to live with, which would keep his libido under control. That, and Emma, who would be around all the time, too.

      He should be in for one helluva time.
