“Seriously?” Kristin was tinged with disbelief with a hint of denial nestled in the curve of her words.
“You’re not considering marrying me into the Haywood family, are you?” Rhett lounged on the couch, his question floating through the air with a casual detachment.
Kristin hung open her mouth, a silent gap before words finally found their way out. “Mr. FitzGerald, at this juncture, an alliance with the Haywood family would be most advantageous for your position in the FitzGerald Group.”

“Okay. Mr. FitzGerald, I understand.” From now on, she would test Rhett’s drinks for poison first.
