Ryan was stunned for a second, then swept me into his arms, his chin resting on my shoulder. “Deal. When you and Nathan break up, I’ll be the one chasing after you.”

As soon as I got back to the office, my assistant rushed over. “Ms. Murphy, you’re finally back! There’s a handsome guy waiting for you.”

I walked into my office and saw Nathan sitting on the couch in a crisp white shirt, flipping through one of the magazines from my
