Michelle Douglas - Reunited by a Baby Secret

Something inside him froze.

Her frown deepened. ‘Where is your home, Ryan?’

‘Have you heard the saying “Wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home”? That pretty much sums me up.’

She halted, hands on her hips. ‘But you have to live somewhere when you’re between assignments. I mean, where do you keep your belongings?’

‘I have office facilities in Sydney and London, and staff who work for me in both locations, but...’ He shrugged.

Her eyes grew round. ‘What? Are you telling me that you just live out of hotel rooms?’

‘Suites,’ he corrected.

‘But—’ She frowned. ‘What about your car? Where do you keep that?’

‘Whenever I need a car, I hire one.’

‘Then what about the gifts people give you, your books and CDs, photographs, art you’ve gathered and... Oh, I don’t know. The myriad things we collect?’

‘I travel light. All I need is a suitcase and my laptop.’

She eased away from him, those dark eyes surveying him. ‘I wasn’t so wrong about you after all,’ she finally said. ‘You are a kind of gypsy.’

She didn’t look too pleased with her discovery. He shrugged. ‘While we’re on the subject of accommodation, perhaps you could recommend somewhere for me to stay while I’m in Monte Calanetti?’

She folded her arms and frowned at him for a long moment and then tossed her head, eyes flashing. ‘Oh, that’s easy.’ She swung away and led him down an avenue that opened out into a town square. ‘If you’re going to help me get the cottage shipshape then you can stay there.’

His heart stuttered. ‘With you?’

Some of his horror must’ve seeped into his voice because she swung back with narrowed eyes. ‘Do you have a problem with that?’

‘Not at all,’ he assured her hastily. Hell, yes! How on earth was he going to avoid temptation when he was living with her? He rolled his shoulders. Not that he could ask the question out loud. Not when she stood glaring at him like that.
