met through Norris a few months ago, plopped down in the chair opposite Sarah’s. Dressed in black as well, Carol’s LBD actually did its job on her. She looked like she should be at the world premiere of a movie . She looked that good.
    Sarah let out a breath and smiled through her misery. She tried to ignore the flames licking at her skin as the man at the bar glanced her way once again.
    “Having a good time?”
    “Fabulous,” Carol exclaimed and widened her brilliant blue eyes. “You should see this guy flirting with me. Dressed in all black from his cowboy hat down to his shit kickers, and these eyes—they’re like the color of the sand of the Sahara right at sunrise. And the way they eat you up when he grins…Ah! Amazing. I’m telling you, he’s got to be the most beautiful man on the planet.”
    Sarah darted her gaze back to the man at the bar, dressed the same as Carol’s description. Their eyes met, and instead of pulling away, she held still as he raked that blistering gaze over her face. Oh, wow. She’d never physically reacted from a look before. Cool chills washed over her skin and tightened around her nipples.
    “Earth to Sarah. Are you still with me?”
    “Sounds like you like him,” she said, recovering quickly by pulling her gaze away from his.
    “I’m in love,” she informed her matter-of-factly. “I’ve already picked out our china pattern.”
    Of course. From what Sarah knew of her, that was Carol in a nutshell. She fell in love with the man of the week, and God help him. Sarah laughed. “What? No names for all the kids you’ll have?”
    Shuddering, Carol then reached over and took a long drink from Sarah’s wine. “Bite your tongue. China is one thing, but kids? That’s a whole area I don’t want to even think about. You know, if you’d get your butt up out of that chair, you just might find yourself having fun.”
    She shrugged and took her wine back. She had the perfect view of the entire bar from her seat. Once she spotted Lucky, she’d make her move. “I’m fine.”
    “You’re not fine. Look at you. You’re like Baby stuck in the corner. Come on, Sarah. Come back to my table with me. My future husband has many friends. The Gideon brothers are , like , related to him somehow.” She wiggled her perfectly painted brows.
    “I’ll stay here, thanks.”
    Carol lost her smile as she studied her. Sarah hid her eyes and hoped her friend didn’t put two and two together.
    “Sarah Kay Emerson, you’d better not be working. You promised Norris you wouldn’t try and find this Loopy on your own.”
    “Lucky,” Sarah corrected. When she realized Carol gave her the wrong name on purpose to catch Sarah in her own trap, she hid her gaze as heat slapped her cheeks.
    “Sarah, come on. You can’t move in on Norris’ s scam, or con, or whatever he calls his modern-day Robin Hood role. The family hired him , not you .”
    “But he’s in the middle of another job. I’m just trying to help him out. This guy has put too many families into bankruptcy. He needs to go down.”
    “And he will.” Carol grabbed her friend’s hand. “Just as soon as Norris catches him. Leave Lucky to your brother. Just have fun. Please.”
    “I will as soon as I find who I’m looking for.” Sarah glanced over Carol’s shoulder and met the gaze of a striking man dressed in all black, his hazel eyes dancing in wicked mischief as he watched her. Carol wasn’t exaggerating—he was stunning, like a statue. He looked remarkably similar to the man at the bar, with the square jaw and massive shoulders. They had to be related.
    “I believe your future husband doth approach.” Sarah watched him walk over and released a shudder. Man-oh-man, he got better and better the closer he came.
    “Chris Gideon,” he said in a silky smooth voice that washed over her senses like a warm breeze.
    Ah, yes. Of course he was a Gideon. They were like Gods, those Gideons. But this one had hazel eyes and caramel-colored
