Charm is the key to the world.
Charisma, magnetism, sex appeal—that ‘it’ factor that can’t be described.
Nolan Delaney has it is spades.
The infamous Mr. Romantic.
And maybe he is out of my league… But I’m going to give it the old college try anyway. Because I didn’t travel two thousand miles for a job interview at his request just to be put out like trash.
Don’t underestimate me, Mr. Delaney.
I’m really not as innocent as I look.

“What do you think so far? Do I
live up to the hype?”
“Not
really.”
“No?” He
chuckles as we walk past the pool. “Why not?”
The whole
thing becomes surreal for me in that moment. The emptiness of the resort. The
heat and the sun. I am two thousand miles from home and I’m clutching Mr.
Romantic’s elbow like we are lovers taking an evening stroll.
“You’re a
little bit quiet so far.”
“Is that
right?”
“Your
sister is the bigger personality. I’m surprised she wasn’t accused of something
inappropriate in college. I think she has it in her.”
Nolan
laughs. “That’s kind of true. She’s a handful to most, but she’s been good to
me. She’s very protective.”
“She
called you dangerous.”
“What?”
He stops walking and looks down at me. “When?”
“Today.
She told me to stay away from you. Didn’t you know that?”
“What
exactly did she tell you?” His mood has changed. Not a lot, but there’s an edge
to his words.
“She said
something like…” I struggle to remember her exact words, but can’t. I shouldn’t
have said anything. He’ll probably confront her and use me as an example.
“Like?”
Nolan pushes.
“You’re
not romantic. Something like that. They called you Mr. Romantic when all that
stuff happened because it was a joke.”
“And the
dangerous part?” His words are low and when I look up at him, the easygoing
expression has changed into something else.
“I don’t
know why she said it. She was telling me to stay away from you all day. And I
was angry that she was so dismissive of me. She said I was here by mistake. So
I told her I was going to do my best to get the job anyway. And while I agree
those men you hired are far more qualified, it was not fair of her to dismiss
me so quickly. I’m not as innocent and inexperienced as I look, Mr. Delaney. I
have ideas and I’m smart. Hiring everyone in the applicant pool but me was
about the most humiliating thing I’ve ever experienced.”
Nolan
continues our walk, silent for a few seconds. “You’re lucky.”
“I am?” I
ask, a small laugh escaping. “How so?”
“You’re
lucky that you’ve never been humiliated the way I have.”
Oh, shit.
Way to go, Ivy.
“Do you
think I’m dangerous?” Nolan asks, staring down at me in that way he does.
It makes
me uneasy. “Maybe.”
“You’re
willing to take that chance?”
“Maybe.”
“Well,
good,” Nolan says. “Let’s have a nice dinner and I’ll tell you why I sent
Claudette away and kept you here against her wishes.”
He did what?
My heart
starts to beat faster. Why would he do that? Maybe Claudette was right to warn
me? There’s hardly anyone here at the resort. Especially now that all the
construction people have left for the day. The main pool is empty when we pass,
and even the desk clerks are missing when we enter the lobby.
The
dining room has two couples eating dinner and Nolan greets them by name as he
leads me to the rear part of the restaurant. Back into a dimly lit room with a
single table, white linen tablecloth flowing over the sides. Candle glowing in
the center. Set for two.
“This is…
unexpected.” My mind is filled with possibilities. And even though I came here
with the intention of getting his full attention, possibly losing my virginity
to him—and even though I’ve talked myself into feeling ready to take on a man
like him, both professionally and personally—I am not excited. I am suddenly
scared.
There’s
not enough people. There’s not enough noise. There’s not enough of anything to
make me forget just who I’m having dinner with.
Mr.
Romantic. A man accused of raping a woman ten years ago. A man who was not
prosecuted for that crime because the woman died before she could testify. A
man who might be guilty.
Nolan
pulls out a chair and waits for me to sit, sliding it in perfectly the way a
gentleman does, before taking his seat across from me. “I like the unexpected,
Miss Rockwell. Get used to it.”
I am in
way over my head.
