Once the privacy partition rose, sealing off the back seat from the front, Ashton dropped his grim façade.
He looked down at Briar’s conciliatory smile, then swept her onto his lap and pressed his forehead to hers.
“Darling, I’m a little upset. Can you tell?” Ashton’s voice carried a plaintive edge, pitiful like a man abandoned by a heartless lover.

In just two or three months, Nathan had steered the Jennings Group through multiple crises, pulling it back from collapse and setting it firmly on course again.
Few in the industry could have achieved such swift and decisive results.
Nathan’s professional capabilities were indisputable.
But when a man chose to be unreasonable, reason held no weight.
