  “And your first task will be helping to organize a party I’m having here in a couple of weeks. Local military brass. Short notice, but I’m sure I can easily pull strings and get people here. You’ll have an unlimited budget to make it an affair people will remember. I want to make a big splash.”

  Her mouth dropped open. “I—”

  “You’ve planned events before, or so you said.”

  He saw her take a deep breath. “Of course I have. I just didn’t think I’d be starting so soon.”

  “Is that a problem?”

  “No. Not at all.”

  “Good, then I’ll take you on a tour of the ranch next.”

  She seemed surprised again.

  “Unless you’d like to settle in first.”

  “No, no. That’s okay.”

  “Good.” He glanced at his watch. “And before I forget, here’s some information I put together for you. My cell phone. Email. Etcetera.” He slid a manila envelope forward. “Meet me in front of your apartment in ten minutes.”

  She lifted a hand, saluted. He lifted a brow. She smiled and stood up, envelope held in front of her like a shield.

  “It was nice to finally meet you.”

  “Same,” he said with a dip of his head.

  He watched her slip away, but when she left he spun his chair so that it faced the windows. Maybe he shouldn’t have left the hiring of a housekeeper to his sister. He had a feeling Naomi Jones might prove to be a handful, although he had no idea why he felt that way.

  Her eyes sparkled.

  As if she saw the world from the big end of a telescope and what she spotted amused her. Usually, he hired people who were far more serious, but he supposed that was to be expected given the nature of his work. Naomi seemed...complicated.

  He hated complications.
