▪️ Emily ▪️ Whoever said drinking would make your clothes fall off wasn’t lying. Emily woke up and instantly knew something was wrong. First of all, she never slept naked. And she certainly didn’t share her bed with anyone else, yet here she was, in a hotel room with someone snoring next to her, and she had no clothes on. Oh, and her head was seconds away from exploding.She closed her eyes, hoping the spinning room and thumping headache would lessen, but instead she he felt sicker than ever when a foot brushed against her. Almost afraid to see who was lying beside her, Emily cracked an eye open, then squeezed it shut. Oh, no. No, no, no. Please, God. Maybe she was still drunk and had moved on to the hallucination portion of the night. Or was it morning? Cautiously, she again peered at the naked man stretched out on the her bed. Fuck. This is not good. Emily sure as hell wasn’t drunk anymore, and she certainly was

▪️ Emily ▪️ “To Olivia and Liam. May they have a long and happy life together.” Emily raised her glass in a toast, then kissed Olivia's cheek. “I love you.” “I love you too,” she said. “And thank you so much for this and everything else.” “Anything for you.” Liam gave Emily a hug. They’d met in business school, and though he was the antithesis of Emily—Liam was friendly, charming, and likable—they’d meshed, and after graduation turned their friendship into a partnership and started their own marketing firm. They poured everything they had into it, and now it was one of the hottest, trendiest companies in New York City, priding themselves on spotting styles and fledgling companies before they became popular, and employing innovative, creative people who weren’t afraid to think outside the norm. “Take care of her, or I’ll beat your ass.” “Yeah, yeah, ma'am.” Liam, who was big and brawny, snorted. But he had a heart

▪️ Emily ▪️ “Yeah, well, I paid for it. Trust me.” “Hangover?” Olivia cast her a sympathetic glance and gave her arm a squeeze. “Make sure you drink lots of water.” “Now who’s hovering?” Emily teased her as she continued to pour from the pitcher. “But yeah. You know I don’t get drunk. Guess I let it all get to me.” “I know you’ve been my big sister who never stopped watching out for me, but it’s time you got your own life in order.” “My life is fine.” “Because you have none. All you do is work and go home, and until now, worry about me.” Emily squirmed. “I didn’t mind. And I have a life. I go to the theater and ballet. I work out.” “That’s not a life, when you do it with people you don’t care about.” A painful noise escaped her, one Emily never wanted to hear from her pretty face. “You’re not fooling me. We know you bury yourself in the company and give it your everything. But it’s time for you to take a b

▪️Ace▪️ “Why’re you so interested in my sex life?” Irritated, he poured himself another glass of champagne. “Not yours, idiot Emily's. That girl never allows herself to have a moment of fun. She doesn’t exactly talk about sex. In case you haven’t noticed, she's…uptight a little of...goody two shoes. I can’t even imagine her having sex, she’s so closed off.” Oh, trust me, she’s had sex. She e knows her way around a dick.Ace shifted in his seat, his satisfied body and him wanting more is a testimony to that. “She’s not so uptight. And I wasn’t aware you shared sex stories, especially since you met the beautiful Olivia—ow.” Ace rubbed his arm. “What did you punch me for?” “Because. Don’t talk about Olivia and sex. It’s disrespectful.” “And so are you, trying to figure out Emily's sex life,” he shot back, defensive of Emily for some bizarre reason. “If you don’t want anyone thinking of you and Olivia doing the deed, don’t try and ferret out intel on E

▪️Ace▪️ “Why shouldn’t you? People don’t work for free.” Liam eyed him. “Tell me all about those private yachts.” “Oh, yeah. You should see some of those babies. And the people spend money like water. My tips were awesome.” He’d spent the last three years as a personal assistant to an older, extremely wealthy businesswoman, and that had included taking care of all the woman’s needs—business and pleasure. Ace had learned valuable lessons in the corporate world, and the woman's generosity in paying for his education, in addition to the lavish salary and tips, had enabled Ace to save money to pay for an apartment when he made the decision to return to New York. “I’ll bet. But, selfishly, I’m glad you’re home. Even though you said everything was great, I still missed you. I didn’t like having you on the other side of the world.” He hugged Liam. “I love you. And I missed you too. Much as I loved it over there, I really did miss you all.”

▪️ Emily ▪️ If Ace thought he would rush right out and call his supposed reference, he was sadly mistaken. Emily fully intended to enjoy the rest of Olivia and Liam's wedding. Emily could see Ace shooting her looks, but Emily deliberately set her phone on the table and folded her arms. Inside, however, she was a mess. Amber had been with her for over five years and knew her like a well-worn suit—in fact, she picked out most of her clothes. How was she going to handle everything without her? The Company had a big presentation at the end of the month, and she was handling all the minute incidentals leading up to it. “We’re going to check out now. Our plane leaves at eight, and we’ve got last-minute packing.” Olivia slid her arms around Emily's neck and kissed her cheek. “I love you so much. Thank you for everything. I couldn’t have asked for a more magical wedding. Or a better sister. I wish Mommy could’ve been here.” She sniffled. “She would’ve loved Liam, don’t you think?” It was a

▪️ Emily ▪️ “Did something happen to Ace? Is he all right?” At the genuine concern and fright in Croft's voice, Emily rushed to reassure her. “Ace is fine. I’m actually calling you for a business reference. I’m thinking of hiring him.” “The Emily who is his brother’s friend? You own The Company?” “Yes. Liam and I. Ace spoken of me?” Emily could only imagine what was said and braced to defend herself. “Oh, yes.” She laughed. “I’m rather shocked you’re calling as a potential employer.” “I’m rather surprised myself,” Emily admitted, and explained her predicament. “So what did you think of Ace as an executive assistant? That was his position; am I correct?” “Ace was invaluable to me. He’s quick on his feet, comes up with interesting ideas, and always kept me well-sorted.” “I’m assuming that’s a good thing. I need someone who’ll keep my schedule updated, make sure I get to where I need to go. Someone with whom I can brainstorm and bounce ideas off. Your reputation and standing in t

▪️ Emily ▪️ Emily took a corresponding step away from Ace. “It’s not about satisfying me. It’s about the clients and getting the job done and done well. I’m fine with a trial run.” Again in control, she lifted her chin and straightened her shoulders. “I’m going to the office now to set things up for you to come in tomorrow. You should be ready to work. Don’t think I’m going to go easy on you because you’re Liam's brother.” Ace's eyes narrowed. “I’ll meet you at the office later so I can start early and be fully on board and ready to go tomorrow. And for the record, I don’t need anyone to go easy on me. I can take it as hard as it comes. You should know that. Especially after yesterday.” “Cut that out,” Emily snapped, clenching her fists. This was the Ace she knew—obnoxious and always ready to push her buttons. “What?” Ace's wide-eyed innocence didn’t fool her. Emily darted a swift glance to each side and lowered her voice. “All the innuendos about what happened between us.” “I th
