next to hers. “You’ll never guess who’s staying there.”
     
“Who, a movie star?”
     
He chuckled. “Not quite. Me. You see, fate keeps putting us together.”
     
Eyes and mouth wide open, she couldn’t believe her ears. “No way. That is not your room.”
     
He took out his door card and entered the suite next to hers.
     
“Well, I’ll be…” The “Twilight Zone” has nothing on this. A few seconds later, she heard a knock from the interior door of her room, which connected to his. She went inside and opened it. “This is entirely too crazy.”
     
“Isn’t it though. If I had known we were in the same hotel, we could have shared the taxi.”
     
“Well.” She tossed the novel onto the nightstand. “Want to order a movie?”
     
“That would be nice.” He propped the door open on his side of the connecting suite.
     
“Thank you, Jeremy King.”
     
“For what?”
     
“Being you.” He’s not Nathan. Don’t allow Nathan to keep you from your king.
     
 
     
 
     
Chapter Three
     
Much of Jeremy’s time after arriving at the hotel had been spent searching the Internet for every Saundra Right, Wright, Write and Rite he could find. Fortunately, he only found a few instances of any variation of her names. Unfortunately, none of them were his Mrs. Right. Next, he began listing publishing companies contact information. She had said she was a ghostwriter, but never stated the genre or if she wrote fiction or non-fiction. During his search, he learned of a book called the Writers Market, which listed agents and publishers. He hopped on over to Amazon and ordered the thousand plus page book. He didn’t care if he had to contact every individual listed in the book to find Saundra. Then he realized he was obsessing and stopped. She would either call as she said had promised or she would run scared.
     
He fully understood her fear. For a short time, the fear of the impossible had gripped him until he accepted what was happening between them. When she hadn’t called, he had been disappointed, but somehow knew they would meet again. Then he saw her in the lobby, and there was no doubt in his mind that they would be together.
     
The pain on her face when he first saw her gripping the novel in the chair had him ready to beat someone within an inch of his life. Whoever had hurt her had really done a job on her, but he would be patient and show her his heart.
     
As the early morning sun filled the room, he watched her sleep, so calm, so peaceful, so beautiful. Jeremy had woken with his Mrs. Right in his arms. She just didn’t know it. Or at least she wasn’t ready to admit to it yet. Everything had happened so quickly, too quickly. Before yesterday, he would have said the events of the last twenty-four hours were impossible. Two sensible adults didn’t just fall in love over night.
     
With all of their conversation, they had never told where they came from or where they were going. Not that he hadn’t wanted to. When he inquired or tried to give his information, Saundra would steer the conversation elsewhere, so he let it go.
     
The reason behind her actions worried him. She wanted to remain as close yet as distant as possible. Someone had broken more than her heart, they had broken her trust and spirit, that much he was sure of. As Miranda had said, he would have to be patient. For now all he could do was enjoy their few remaining hours.
     
He fingered the soft curls that framed her face. This cruise would now be a working cruise for him. A project manager by trade, winning over his Mrs. Right would be his next assignment.

From the moment Jeremy saw her to the taxi and took her cell number, Saundra felt she was making a mistake, but she couldn’t trust her feelings. Now, sitting on a lounge chair on the deck of the ship, she was glad to be away from the magnetism he had over her. With no doubt in her mind he would contact her after their respective vacations,
