She glared at Nina. “What are you still doing here?”
“Eve,” Max said, catching her attention. “You’re fired.”
“What!”
Color rose over Eve’s pale face.
“But Max,” she sputtered, “I’m your most loyal employee!”
“I don’t know what gave you the impression you could take photos of me and Sabrina. Photos of things we did on our own time to try to blackmail me. And threaten her.” He glared at Eve. “I had the threatening calls investigated. Guess who they led back to? You, Eve,” he growled, fisting his hands at his side.
It was Eve. All this time she’d been blaming her poor ex-boyfriend, and Eve was the one threatening her.
“How dare you?” She launched herself at Max and slapped him so hard the sound reverberated in the room.
Nina rushed around her desk and pulled the other woman off him. When Eve tried to slap her too, Nina threw a perfect right hook that would’ve made her cousin proud.
Eve screamed as the crunching sounds of her nose breaking filled the air.
Security rushed inside and grabbed Eve by the arms. Blood dripped down her face, covered her jaw, and dirtied her suit.
Max pulled Nina to stand by his side. “Call the police. I’ve been in contact with someone down at the precinct just a few minutes ago, a Detective Miller. He said people would be here shortly to arrest her for blackmail and making threats against my fiancée.”
Once the two security guards walked out, Nina turned to Max. “Anything you want to tell me, Maxwell?”
He trailed a finger down the side of her face. “I can’t live without you. I know we haven’t been dating long, but I want to be with you. I’m ready to make a commitment now. I want to know if you are too. Will you marry me?”
She threw herself into his arms. “Yes. I’m ready also. I will marry you.”
He kissed her, a sweet meeting of the lips.
“What are you grinning about?” She sighed and leaned her head into the crook of his shoulder.
“Remind me not to piss you off.” He joked and lifted her hand to inspect her fingers. “That is some right hook you have there.”
“And don’t you forget it.” She giggled.
Epilogue
“So, you thought you were the only one that could play matchmaker, huh?” Alex taunted and ate a French fry.
Nina grinned at the desperate way Alex devoured the fries. “Good fries?”
Alex held a fry by her lips. “Oh my god, you have no idea. These things are like drugs. I can’t get enough of them.”
She wanted to ask Alex what she was going to do about the dress that no longer fit for Nina’s wedding, but she figured that wasn’t important.
“I’m glad I was able to talk Lucky into coming to plan my wedding. She’s doing the preliminary stuff over the Internet, but she’ll be heading this way in a couple months. I still can’t believe you gave Max personal information about me.” She eyed Alex with interest. “What exactly did you tell him?”
“Nothing bad.” Alex sipped her tea. “I just gave him all the information about your favorite perfume, food, desserts, color, etc.”
She sighed. That wasn’t too bad.
“Oh, yeah. And I told him you are the biggest freak and love kinky shit.” Alex grinned.
Nina’s eyes went wide. “Que mala eres. You really are bad.”
“Hey, it got you the man you wanted and some hot sex.” Alex shrugged. “I’d say that’s a win-win.”
Nina smiled and turned to glance at Max and Andrew by the bar. She loved visiting Come Again. The bar was one of her favorite spots. Both men turned to glance at them. Andrew chuckled. Nina looked at Alex, who was waving a French fry and throwing air kisses at Andrew.
Nina’s gaze connected with Max, and the need for words was unnecessary. The way he looked at her, with a mixture of love and lust, said it all. She licked her lips and watched him tilt his head and motion to the glass cubicles. They hadn’t tried those yet.
She grinned and stood. “I’ll be right back.”
Alex’s soft chuckle sounded behind her as she walked into the cubicle Max had gone into. “Sure you will. Have fun.”

Kara has a deep dislike for her boss, Max. She also wants him so badly it’s making her nuts. He’s a workaholic, a robot man.

But when their plane crashes on the way to a meeting, leaving them stranded on a deserted island…just the two of them, all alone with all that ocean around them…Kara decides it’s time to start living.
