“She knew enough about him to realize that no one would ever understand him unless he wished it, and that was highly unlikely. He was a man who operated alone, working by his own rules even when he was doing a job for his employers. Emily thought of him in the same way she thought of hurricanes, charging lions and marauding sharks. The only sensible thing to do when any of them was in the vicinity was to get out of the way.”

“He was standing apart from the others, a dark, brooding figure concealed in shadows.
Jacob Stone was a man who was at home in shadows.
Ever since Emily had first become aware of his existence five years ago, she had understood that he prowled the fringes of her family’s world. He was part bodyguard, part troubleshooter and, to Emily’s way of thinking, part enforcer for Ravenscroft International. Like the last of the lobo wolves, he was rarely seen in broad daylight, let alone in the firm’s executive suites or at its glittering social functions. And the only times he had been invited into her father’s private study were on those occasions when Emily had needed rescuing from her latest predicament.”

“I still think this is a really stupid idea,” Emily announced as she reluctantly climbed out of the Mercedes and stood looking doubtfully at her parents’ home.
“Wives are supposed to give their husbands lots of moral support. You’re supposed to fluff up the male ego and tell him how brilliant and bold he is.” Jacob closed the door on his side of the car and walked around the front to collect her.
Emily wrinkled her nose at him. “Where did you get that notion?”
“All men know how wives are supposed to behave. We’re born knowing.”
“Is that right? It must come as kind of a shock for each new generation of males when they discover that women don’t always behave the way they’re supposed to, hmm?”
Jacob shook his head mournfully. “It’s a shock, all right. But we persevere.”

“Then why do you want to marry me?” she exploded.
“For the usual reasons,” he shot back.
“Such as?”
He slanted her a narrow look and made an obvious bid for his patience. “Such as the fact that we are very strongly attracted to each other, although I’ll admit a casual onlooker might not think so if he saw us bickering like this.”
