“Oh!” She hopped up and down and grinned. “There’s something else to celebrate—I got a job!” She lifted her chin and struck a fake-haughty pose. “You are looking at the newest junior analyst at TD Waterhouse. They’re expanding their retail operations in the US, and I’ll be helping assess markets.”
Well, hot damn. Step one on the Cassie James world domination tour. He tried to scowl, but a smile won out. “I still wish you’d come work for me.”
“Working for your bazillionaire boyfriend’s company is gross. Favoritism.”
“I’m not a bazillionaire. But I do favor you. You got me there.”
She leaned over to hug him. He was like a trained puppy. That vanilla scent called him to attention. In more ways than one. She lifted her eyebrows and looked pointedly at his crotch.
They were interrupted by the clinking of cutlery against glass. Edward beckoned them over and handed each of them a scotch. “To Cassie James, B.A.,” he said, beaming.
“Hold on now,” said Cassie. “I don’t have the grades back from my finals yet, so technically—”
Jack kissed her. It was sometimes the only way to shut her up. That was his excuse anyway. She made a little squeak of surprise and then sighed and opened her mouth.
“Get a room!” shouted Danny.
She pulled away, flushed, and lifted her glass, but not before standing on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear. “This isn’t over.”
He kissed her once more for good measure. “It’s sure as hell not.”

Acknowledgments
My thanks to Courtney Miller-Callihan, who, in addition to being a superagent and a friend, was the one who got me started on this whole crazy contemporary thing. To Gwen Hayes for all-around and instant awesomeness. To my beloved critique partners, Erika Olbricht and Sandra Owens. Not only do they make my books better, they make my life better. The pasta swears were inspired by my former yoga teacher Cynthia Funk, who used to invoke manicotti in tough poses. Finally, a shout out to my best peeps: Zack, Daisy, and Joanne, aka the cheerleading squad. Thank you.
About the Author
Jenny Holiday started writing at age nine when her fourth grade teacher gave her a notebook and told her to start writing stories. That first batch featured mass murderers on the loose, alien invasions, and hauntings. From then on, she was always writing, often in her diary, where she liked to decorate declarations of existential angst with nail polish teardrops. Later, she channelled her penchant for scribbling into a more useful format, picking up a PhD in geography and then working in PR. Eventually, she figured out that happy endings were more fun than alien invasions. You can follow her on twitter at @jennyholi or visit her on the web at jennyholiday.com.
