She took an uneasy step back, worried she’d do something crazy. Punch him or beg him for their first kiss. “I’m going to Paris, so if you want to keep me safe there, you are fake marrying me, and we’re dealing with this psychopath on my schedule,” she said, finding her voice again. “I want to be as far away from my family and friends as possible to keep them out of this too. And with any luck, we’ll draw the asshole out within a few weeks, and then we’ll get fake divorced.” She started to turn, but he grabbed hold of her arm, halting her.

Ella sighed. “I’m going to tell my mom. And she’s going to have a hard time believing this.” She thought back to her conversation with her mom in the stables not too long ago. “But I don’t want her to know the real reason we need to marry. She’ll worry, and I’d rather her just . . .” “No, Ella Mae. I don’t know if I need to give you an answer in every language I know, but this isn’t happening.”
