locale that I think people would just love to see more of.” Clive’s eyes shifted toward the beach and then back at the chalet. “Why we could shoot right here, with your permission, Jeremy.”
    Jeremy paused for a moment, his lips turned up into a smile. “Sounds great. What do you think, Kimberly?”
    Kimberly’s mind was all jumbled inside. Spending time at Jeremy’s beach house sounded great, but at the same time, she was petrified. Being around the man at the office was bad enough. She tried to stop herself from viewing Jeremy as a potential suitor; it just wasn’t going to happen.
    Clive jarred her from her deep thoughts. “Kimberly.”
    “Yes, that sounds great.” She bit down on a finger. “How about using my dog Weenie in the ad?”
    Clive grinned ear-to-ear. “I love how you think, Kimberly.”
    Jeremy leaned forward. “Okay, then it’s settled. Just have the contract sent to my office and I’ll go over it with Kimberly.”
    “My boss, Corrine Campbell, is bringing it. I’m so happy that she trusts my judgment. I’m picking her up at Detroit Metro tomorrow.” Clive squeezed Kimberly’s hand. “Until then, you might want to get plenty of rest. We can’t have any bags under those beautiful blue eyes,” he winked.
    “Seriously,” Clare began. “You two act like this woman is the country’s greatest treasure. I doubt anyone is going to even buy into a perfume named Pretty and Pregnant. I hope you have reserve ready for when this goes bust.”
    “Don’t be so negative, Clare. I hate negativity; life is too damn short as is!” Jeremy spat.
    “I-I didn’t mean it that way, but how does a perfume match up with a pregnant woman. Does it smell like gas?”
    Clive smiled. “No, it smells like Kimberly: sweet and full of sunshine.”
    Clare aggressively rolled her eyes and Kimberly hoped they’d get stuck inside her shallow head! Seriously, why had this woman even been invited? All she added was poison and venom, a major downer.
    At least Kimberly had some good eye candy to look at, like two healthy portions of it. Both Jeremy and Clive were equally attractive, yet in different ways. Jeremy was dark and brooding at times, yet always cheerful to her, whereas Clive had a boyish appeal to him. It mattered not as both men were off limits. One was her boss and the other had just hired her as a spokes model.

 
    Chapter Four
    Jeremy gathered a vodka with a twist of lime for him and an olive martini for Clare. Kimberly and Clive had left hours ago and here he was stuck with Clare. He was less than thrilled with her behavior today. Why was she so mean to Kimberly? The woman was pregnant and had enough worries, Jeremy mused. He couldn’t imagine what pregnancy without the father in the picture could be for a woman, not that he thought about it before. That was until he found out Kimberly was with child. He had to be honest with himself. It had hurt like hell when he found out. She had such a promising future ahead of herself. She was young and could go to college and get an education, but here she was pregnant with a baby on the way.
    He wondered who had gotten Kimberly pregnant. From what he remembered, she never mentioned she was dating anyone. Had it been a one-nighter? No, he couldn’t imagine her doing that, but he wouldn’t judge her for it either. Lord knows he had his moments, like Clare. She was the one night stand that just wouldn’t go away. He enjoyed her company most of the time both in and out of bed, but lately he wasn’t so sure. Jeremy couldn’t fathom her being so cruel to a pregnant woman.
    Clive sure seemed taken with Kimberly too. That irritated him to no end. If that man so much as made a move on her, he’d take action. She didn’t have anyone here to protect her, so he’d do it.
    As Jeremy rounded the couch, he swallowed hard. Clare was lying on the couch stark naked! “It’s about time Jeremy,” she pouted. “I’m so thirsty,” she licked her lips
