“In my office. ”

Pivoting on his heel, Max strode away down the hallway. He didn’t look back to see if she was following. He expected obedience. He’d always been bossy that way. Telling her where to put her hands, how to move her hips, the areas of his body that enjoyed her attention.

Her skin flushed. Desire found a warm and welcoming home inside her. She couldn’t move. What was she doing? Her memories of those four days with Max belonged in the tomb with all her girlish hopes and dreams. Indulging in lusty thoughts of Max was the height of stupidity if she hoped to cultivate a professional relationship with him.

Max disappeared around a corner. This was her chance to run. She’d been a fool to think she could ever put those magical days behind her. She should make some excuse.

No. Rachel squared her shoulders. She could do this.

Dear Reader,

When I found out Mills & Boon wanted to publish Meddling with a Millionaire, I was consumed with the idea of writing books about all three Case brothers. I have always been a fan of connected stories, and from the number of readers asking for Max’s story, I realized I wasn’t alone.

Although Unfinished Business is the third Case brother story, it was actually the second one I wrote. Max was so clear in my mind because he has such a hard time letting go of past wrongs. For me, he was the most frustrating of the three brothers. So naturally he was the most fun to write.

A stubborn man deserves a strong woman, and that’s what Max gets in Rachel Lansing. Misguided decisions in her past have created a woman who refuses to let anyone help her. And with everything going on in her life, Rachel can use some help.

Reunion stories are my favorite. Take two people who are passionate about each other, toss in something that tears them apart, let their anger stew for a few years and then serve up a situation that forces them to work together. Sounds like the perfect recipe for romance to me.

I hope you enjoy Max and Rachel’s story.

Happy reading.
