      “Everything okay?” he asked, his voice low and sensual.

      Eva nodded, when what she really wanted to do was shout. To tell him that no—she wasn’t okay. This was far, far from okay. This was confusing and terrifying and oh so much more complicated than she had ever wanted her life to be.

      But she couldn’t let go of his hand. Couldn’t be the one to break that connection between them.

      She’d felt it growing as they’d played their parts over dinner. A touch of the hands here. A brush of fingers over an arm there.

      The intimacy had grown between them in some strange simulacrum of the relationship they had invented. But she had expected them to walk away from it. Expected to leave it at the table. She hadn’t expected it to stalk them into the lift and back up to their suite.

      Intimacy was safe in public, where neither of them could act on it. But with her back against this door and Joss in front of her—looking serious, smelling delicious—it was a more dangerous prospect. And Joss knew it, too.

       CHAPTER ONE

      ‘COULD YOU HELP me with this zip, or are you just going to watch?’

      Instinctively Joss shut the door behind him, wondering if anyone else had seen, and glanced through the window of the office to make sure his father wasn’t nearby.

      ‘Sorry, Eva. I was looking for my dad. What are you doing in his office? And why does it involve being undressed?’

      Eva shrugged—he watched her shoulder blades move under pale, exposed skin where the dress’s zip was gaping at the back.

      ‘Edward’s already gone to the boardroom. Shouldn’t you be there too? Never mind. Could you help? I should have been there five minutes ago, but I spilt a cup of coffee over myself and now I’ve got the zip stuck.’

      ‘Okay, okay—sure,’ Joss said, with a glance back at the closed door. ‘My dad wanted to see me in here before the meeting, but I couldn’t get away from my last call.’
