And I swear I hear a small growl.
But I accept the hand offered to me as I slide out of the booth, readjust my dress’s hem, and let Zayne take me away from his friends as they all call out things behind us as we disappear.
He says, “Need to head to bathroom quick.”
I simply nod and stand by the door to the men’s room while he disappears behind it. And when I look through my lashes at the VIP lounge above me, I notice that Garrick Matthews is watching me back.
I knock on the men’s door after another few minutes pass without a trace of Zayne.
When I hear nothing from the other side, I crack it open and stare at the sight before me.
“Oh my God,” I whisper.
Tonight is the night.
Tonight is the night.
Tonight is the night.
If I didn’t know that my bank account had a negative balance in it right now, maybe I would have backed up and left without looking back at the man bent over the counter covered in powder.
But that’s not what I did at all.
And when I dig out my phone from my bag and raise it to the scene in front of me, I wonder if the Australian with lingering eyes will magically appear and stop me.
When he doesn’t, I take it as a sign.
…and take the picture.

Acknowledgments
This book is the kind of faster-paced, light-hearted story I needed after my last release. I knew Garrick Matthews and his witty charm was the perfect character to cleanse my palate with.
A big shout out to my regular team for helping me put this baby together. Whenever I think I’m two steps ahead, I somehow manage to move five steps backward and always need a village to keep me moving forward.
To my beta readers, Aliana and Melissa, thank you for helping me make Garrick and Rylee’s story the best it can be!
To my PA Jessica, thank you for continuously running my ARC and Street Teams and helping me with final read throughs.
To Rachel Brookes, thank you for helping me make Garrick Matthews a little more realistic since I know nothing about Australia.
To my cover designer Letitia Hasser, you always pull through! Sorry for the last-minute changes.
To my readers who always give my books a chance even if they’re not what they usually read, THANK YOU.
Because of all of you, I can continue doing what I love and bringing stories to life.
xx B
