Chapter One

Melody got out of the car with uncontained excitement. She
still couldn’t believe they pulled it off—gotten Allan to agree to Ruiz and her
to travel all over the world assessing and inputting where necessary at all the
Red Roses hotels. It had been two months already and they’d been to all the Red
Roses worldwide, hosting the opening parties at each one with the crème de la
crème of society and building a substantial client list with each one. It was
the most fun she’d had in years and having Ruiz with her, only Ruiz, and no
hovering overprotective brother plus best friend, was the best part—aside from
buying a new evening gown for each event with a matching pair of shoes and
purse. She felt like the queen of the ball at each one, especially with decked
out Ruiz by her side. He complained about being dressed up like a penguin the
first time, but regardless it was clear he enjoyed looking like James Bond and
the attention that came with it. Especially, it seemed, in Spain. It surprised
her that Ruiz could speak Spanish so fluently and even with that Zorro flair.
That’s when she found out he was from Argentina. He barely spoke of his home or
himself for that matter. He would clamp up when she pushed for more so she
learnt to accept to wait until he fully trusted her and took the little he
would reveal.

She was surprised Allan hadn’t already called demanding she
go back home or sent someone to chaperon the two of them. She knew he had his
reservations about his little virgin sister travelling alone with his new
lothario brother-in-law but he had nothing to worry about. Ruiz had been a
complete gentleman, to Melody’s complete disappointment. It wasn’t like he
didn’t want to be with her; she could tell he was dying to with each kiss and
each touch and how he devoured her with his eyes when he thought she wasn’t
looking, but for some unknown and annoying reason he wouldn’t make a move on
her. Short of her throwing herself at him—and her pride demanded she just
couldn’t do that—he was never going to, either. Ladies were chased; they never
did the chasing, but she was hoping the state of their celibacy would change
with their current surroundings. Paris, the city of love, was their last stop
and she was hoping some of its magic would rub on to Ruiz.

“Hey, get inside or you’ll catch a cold,” Ruiz scolded her
as he watched the porter unload their bags from the car.

“It’s too beautiful to go inside. Look at how the light
bounces off the snow. The ground looks like it’s covered in diamonds!” she
awed, scooping some of the snow into her bare hands.

Ruiz brushed the snow out of her hands and began rubbing
them between his. “Diamonds that will give you pneumonia. You want to have fun
or get laid up in bed with the flu?”

Melody pouted. “Party pooper.”

Ruiz gave her one a rakish smile that always sent her heart
galloping. “Fine, we’ll play with the snow in the morning. Right now we both
need something substantial to eat and then a good night’s sleep.”

She followed him as he led her by the hand into the hotel.
The doorman gave them a slight bow and a short greeting, and so did the
employees they passed, which made Melody’s excitement build—they might actually
spend more time vacationing than working. The place looked like it was being
run smoothly, so they wouldn’t need to do much. Just like the other hotels. She
might as well start planning the launch party.
Thank you Matthew!
For the two years Allan had disappeared and
Melody had lost interest in the hotels because of it, Matthew truly did hold
everything together with the hotels, just like he did with Sinclair Enterprise
and her family’s other investments. He even held her together when she wanted
to do nothing but crawl in a hole and cry for the months she thought her
brother was dead and the following months when he wouldn’t come home until
Matthew made him.

The Sinclair’s owed him a lot.
We have to do something big to show our appreciation.

“
Bonne soirée
,
Monsieur
Albury,
Mademoiselle
Sinclair.
I trust you had a great flight,” the concierge greeted them
with a smile. Melody was marveled. This late in such a cold evening and she was
smiling? Melody wouldn’t have blamed her if she grumbled a little.
She
would have grumbled a lot and
feigned illness to boot!

“
Bonne soirée
. The
flight was fine thank you. Do you have any messages for us?” Ruiz asked,
smiling back.

Melody was pinched by a little jealousy. She understood that
it would be rude not to smile back but he didn’t need to look so excited to see
her! And he spoke French, too!

“
Oui
. From both
your brothers. They both say to ‘watch yourself Ruiz.’” She smiled at him like
she’d deciphered the message and they now shared a secret. Melody rolled her
eyes. She too knew what the message meant. It was what kept Ruiz from seducing
her.

Ruiz laughed. “The same message every place. Is the suite
ready?”

“
Oui
. The chef has
prepared a late supper if you like?”

He groaned with appreciation. “You’re a godsend. Thanks.
Would you have it sent up in half an hour?”

“
Oui monsieur
.”

“Anything else, Mel?” Ruiz asked finally looking at her
since they got to the concierge desk.
