desk. She could see the confusion evident on Tasha’s face as she looked from the name on the card to the name on the folder. Jolie knew they wouldn’t match, except for the last name.
    “Sorry, that’s mine.” Jolie reached across the desk for the card.
    Her assistant, a quick study said, “Another Rayner? Is he related to the guest?”
    Rubbing the side of her neck, Jolie waffled, “Um, yeah, he is. His brother.”
    A wide smile broke out on Tasha’s face. “Awesome. He planning to book a stay too?”
    “No, no… This is not really his thing.” Jolie could feel the heat creeping up her neck. “It’s for something else.”
    “Oh. What does he do?” Tasha sat there expectantly.
    Damn . Jolie wished he was a construction worker. This would have been a lot easier. She could’ve than simply said he was going to do some work around the property. Glancing at the card it said “Corporate Head Hunter”. She only had a vague understand of what that entailed. “Business stuff. We were chatting about things. Kind of the business. Not really. He came with his brother. Stiles Rayner is his brother.” Duh, her mind screamed. She was talking in circles but couldn’t figure out what to say, besides the truth.
    Tasha was still sitting with her hands folded, clear evidence she wasn’t understand a thing Jolie was babbling about.
    Jolie sighed. “Actually, Tasha we sort of talked about maybe…a date.” Honesty was the best policy. Sort of. There was no way she was going to confess to arranging a one night stand.
    “Oh, that’s great.” Tasha’s face brightened again. “I tell you all the time you need to get away from this place more and see about your non-existent love life.”
    “I don’t know. This isn’t that serious. It probably won’t even amount to anything. We see the world from two different sides of the coin.” Jolie shrugged. For that reason alone she probably should just stay away from Trenton.
    “Well when it comes to love it’s worth a try. I met Ricky on a blind date, look at us now.”
    Love? Yeah right.
    “Maybe.” Jolie backed out of the room. “I’m going to go eat this food while it’s hot.” Turning, she headed to the back of the house where the kitchen was before Tasha could stop her.

    “Spill it, Stiles.” Trenton cruised down the back roads headed toward the interstate that would take them back to City Center. His brother had been relatively quiet since they left from the lover’s resort.
    “You’re a grown man, Trenton. Far be it for me to put my two cents into a bank it doesn’t belong.”
    Trenton glanced at his brother for a moment then back at the road. “I know you saw Jolie in my arms and I could tell that you have been itching to say something. Even now I can practically hear the wheels in your head turning.”
    “Fine.” Stiles hands lifted then dropped. “You’re a love ’em and leave ’em type of guy.”
    “I won’t argue with that.”
    Stiles’ exhale was loud, filling the car. “I know you’re interested in Jolie. Hell, what man wouldn’t be? She’s hot as well.”
    “Your point?” His brother could be downright long-winded at times.
    “I don’t think she’s the kind of woman you can toy with and toss to the side. I don’t know her accept what the reports say about her business and meeting her now. However, I’d hate to see her get hurt.”
    “Duly noted. However, Jolie is just as much an adult as I am. You know I don’t mislead women.” Shit . Trenton could feel himself getting agitated. The last thing he needed was his brother playing conscience for him. “Look, I left the ball in her court. No pressure. If she calls she’ll know what she’s getting into.”
    “So, if she decides to get in the tank with a shark she better prepare to be eaten?”
    “Hell yes! For hours.”
    They both started laughing at the double entendre. Trenton knew his brother was far from a prude. They had spent many days in their first two years of
