Emma jumped to her feet and pumped her fist in the air. “Yes!” She did an impromptu jig before noticing his gaze on her bouncing breasts. Emma froze then dropped into her chair, striving to keep embarrassment from crawling across her face. Shemustwork on maintaining her cool.

“We’re investigating the Mahoney Resort on Waiheke Island. We think there’s a drug ring running out of the resort. Sports-enhancing drugs.”
“Sounds great. Are we going for the day? When are we going?” Emma was finding it difficult to sit still instead of dancing in celebration. Her first case and closer contact with Jack all in one hit. Life couldn’t get much better.

Her stomach swooped and plunged as if she were attached to a bungee cord. Aware of the burgeoning silence and Jack’s disapproval, she hurried into speech. “What time do we leave?”
“The ferry departs at ten tomorrow morning. I’ll pick you up at nine-thirty.”
“I live at—”
“I know your address. Don’t be late.”
