“It’s the truth. She warned me away from hiring you.”

“You’re kidding.”

I recall Asia’s blazing brown eyes and sultry voice as she went off on the pitfalls of love and Make It Marriage.

I wonder what her deal is.

I wonder who hurt that beautiful woman so badly she stormed a matchmaking agency to rant about fairytales and broken hearts.

Whoever he is, he’s an idiot and she’s too good for him.

Damn. She’s too good for me.

Which is probably why she saw through my BS and turned me down.

“Is that all?” Tierra asks.

“Yes.” No.

I’m not sure what it was exactly about her that caught me off guard. Maybe it was the gorgeous eyes or the heated words or the confident way she told me to have a nice life.

Maybe it was all three.

Those sharp, mascara-smudged eyes are gonna freaking haunt my dreams.

“How often does that happen?”

“Women warning me away from hiring someone to arrange my love life?”

“You getting turned down.”

I chuckle. “Not often.”

“I wanted to high-five her.” Tierra takes her shoes off and crosses her legs. “I thought for sure she’d fall under your spell.”

“Me too.”

“You did not.”

“I’m serious.”

“Are you going to leave her alone?”

I glance over at Tierra. “You trying to set me up?”

“There was an engagement ring on her finger, Hansley.”

“So?”

“You’re not that evil, are you?”

“What if I am?”

She turns to look out the window. “I thought you didn’t do ‘complicated’.”

“I make exceptions if they look like that.”

Beneath Asia’s coat, I saw a body capable of stopping traffic.
