“I’ll go with Remy.” She had no idea how she would sit beside him, work next to him and not go crazy. Maybe she would catch up on her reading. Or her napping. She would nap a lot. “But I get my own room.”

Her brother’s whole body seemed to relax. “I’m sure we can arrange that. Lisa, you won’t regret it. I promise as soon as we can, we’ll bring you home. But you should think about forgiving him.”

“Or I could think about all the ways to twist a man’s balls off.” Forgiveness wasn’t a word she wanted to hear.

Will sighed and sat down on the bed. “Do you know what I put Bridget through?”

She’d heard the story. Most of it. “It’s not the same. You didn’t lie to her.”

“Oh, I did. She was looking for a date to her sister’s wedding. Amy’s first wedding, the fake one, was held in Hawaii, and Bridget needed a fake fiancé. Of course there was one man she refused to ask.”

She hadn’t heard this part. Bridget talked. Bridget talked a lot, but the really personal stuff, she kept close. “You? Was it because of me? I remember she thought you had three women coming in and out of your apartment at all times. She didn’t realize we were your sisters until much later. So she changed her mind when you told her the truth?”

“Well, I might have already put a plan in motion by that time. I didn’t realize what the problem was. I might have made deals with every Dom in Sanctum that not a one of them would say yes to her.”

Poor Bridget. “You asshole. She had to ask them. Do you have any idea how hard that is? Jerk.”

He chuckled. “It was not my proudest moment, and when she found out, she was pissed. Incredibly pissed, but she finally came around and gave me a chance.”

“It’s not the same.”

“Isn’t it? He took the first chance he had to be with you.”

“No, I gave him a chance. He turned me down.”

“We’re a rather intimidating family and he knew he wasn’t staying around. When he got close to you, he couldn’t resist. When he got to know the real you, he fell in love,” Will insisted.

“No, he saw how easy his hundred K could be. I can’t get in trouble if he’s on top of me.”

Will grimaced. “I thought that in the beginning, but then I heard what he said to you. I heard what he said and I recognized the look on his face because I had it on mine the night I begged Bridget not to give up on me.”

The hitch in her brother’s voice made her heart ache. “Oh, Will.”
