Chapter 220

"WE WERE AT A Denver business summit. It's a lot of people in suits posturing, networking, trying to seem like they're better than everyone else." Fiona wrapped her arms around herself and stared at the counter top. "My boss likes for me to go so he can schmooze and not have to remember the important things. I follow him around and write it down."

She might as well be invisible at those awful meetings.

But then Scott had seen her.

She'd thought he was different. She thought every guy she fell for was different. The secret was, they were all the same.

Marco didn't seem so bad. A lot rougher around the edges, but maybe that's what she needed. Someone different.

He'd found her skillet, some eggs, the few withered veggies in her fridge, and some sliced ham. She couldn't imagine eating right now, but she wouldn't begrudge him a meal after his heroic display. It was the kind of thing a modern day Prince Charming might do. Protecting her. Taking care of her.
