CHAPTER ONE
GEMMA REXFORD COULD feel the attention of everyone on her when she entered the hotel’s banquet hall. She smoothed her hands down the front of her black dress and looked around for her brothers and their girlfriends. They were nowhere to be found in the crowd. As she walked deeper into the mass of people, she could feel them assessing her with open curiosity, jealousy and, as evidenced by the eyes that traveled up and down her figure as she passed, desire. Were they looking at her dress, her hair or the fact that they were all there to celebrate her, despite the fact that she was one of very few women in attendance at the International Rum Sellers and Distillers Convention?
Well, maybe celebrate wasn’t quite the right word to use for the curious, envious glances that were thrown her way by the predominantly older male crowd. As a woman in the rum industry, she was part of a small but growing demographic, but none had been awarded a blending and distilling award from the association. It was a high honor, but even though Reid and Lila, and Quin and Celia were in attendance, Gemma was still the fifth wheel, and she felt incredibly out of place.
