Dedication

To my editor, Angela James—you are the wind beneath my wings, the

sunshine of my soul, the yin to my yang, the cream to my coffee and the

butter to my toast. Okay, seriously, thank you for always knowing the

difference between lay/lie/laid, affect/effect, awhile and for a while, and

information my limited brain can handle.

And to Charlie—you have always made me feel valued, cherished and

loved, and for that I will be forever grateful.

man should be allowed to smell that good. Black hair, gray eyes and

broad shoulders, he was the picture of handsome elegance. Her heart

fluttered despite his angry scowl.

“Faith, what’s going on?” Ryan asked.

Offering up a silent thanks a lot to Ryan’s now-former-fiancée, she

braced herself to deliver the bad news. This went way beyond her job as

his executive assistant. “Umm, Miss Stanton has changed her mind

about marrying you.”

Prepared for the inevitable McKay tirade, Faith couldn’t believe the

disappointment shadowing his powerful features. “I see,” he said. “You

couldn’t convince her?”

She’d never seen that defeated look before. Ryan McKay never gave

up. But he was quickly running out of options. He had roughly five

hours to get married or lose control of McKay Corporation and it was now
