“Where are you
hiding my baby girl?” a large voice boomed from the Caesars Palace hallway.
Valentina nodded
her head in the direction of the doorway. “You should go find him before he
disrupts any of the private tables,” she said with a smile.
Amy wandered to
the door and found her Stetson-clad father looking into one of the rooms. “I’m
right here, Dad,” she said as she hurried to him and hugged him in the hallway.
He smelled of leather and cigar smoke. Maybe it was because she’d lost her
mother so many years ago, but it was impossible to explain the feeling of
safety that washed over her when she was fortunate enough to spend time around
her father.
“Let me look at
you,” he said, taking a step away from her. He studied her face. “Humph. San
Diego appears to agree with you. I was kinda hoping it wouldn’t.”
“It does. And
while you know I can’t talk about what I’m working on, the job does too.” Over
her father’s shoulder, she saw Cabe walking toward them with Uncle Clive. She
smiled when she noticed that Cabe was wearing a black jacket that fit him to
perfection. He’d remembered. “Dad, let me introduce you to Cabe Moss.”
Her father turned
and offered Cabe his hand. “Well aren’t you one big son of a bitch? If you’re
the guy who has my little girl’s back, I feel better already.”
Cabe’s face broke
into a grin. “My pleasure, sir.”
“Sir. I like
manners in a man. Military?”
“A SEAL, sir.”
Cabe said.
“Well, let’s see
if we can’t teach you a thing or two. Which room are we in, Clive?”
As Uncle Clive led
her father farther down the hallway, she turned and noticed Cabe’s eyes were on
her legs. Her bare legs. “Eyes up here, soldier,” she said, humor in her tone.
It made her feel warm inside that he was looking.
“It’s sailor,” he
said with a wink. “They’re good-looking legs, and I’m only human.”
It was wrong to
let him flirt, it was wrong for her to respond, but for a moment, she wanted to
pretend the rules didn’t apply. She reached forward and brushed a piece of lint
off the shoulder of his jacket, then smoothed down his lapels. It was an
intimate thing to do, she knew. And a risk, given the requirement to stay
focused on the job. But hell, a piece of her had always believed in the
what-happens-in-Vegas slogan. Here, in the middle of Caesars Palace, the real
world didn’t truly exist. “You look good in a suit, sailor.”
Cabe placed his
hands on top of hers and squeezed them gently. “You’re killing me, Ames.”
The heat of his
fingers burned her inside. Made her want things she had no business wanting
from a man she had no business wanting them from. “Why Ames?”
He shrugged. “I
don’t know. I just like it. It’s catchy. Makes you sound like one of those TV
cop heroines from the seventies.”
Amy looked at
their joined hands for just a millisecond longer before pulling them away. “You
should go and start practicing,” she said. “If I’m going to work my way into
the Lucky Seven Casino’s inner circle, I’d feel better if you were there too.”
“I’ll be there.
But rest assured, even if I’m not invited, I’ll find a way to cover your back.”
Cabe placed his hand around the back of her neck and pulled her forward gently
to place a chaste kiss on her forehead. “I’ll be there, even if you can’t see
me. I promise.”

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life
Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster
Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up
my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring,
less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy
choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a
large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and
Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six
and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have
checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have
two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be
convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check
through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories
and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow
that dream.
