Susan Stephens - Taming the Last Acosta

Looking alarmed at this point, Jane waved a hand, keeping the other hand firmly clamped over her mouth.

Jane had landed a big scoop, and Romy was hardly in a position to criticise the other girl’s methods. This wasn’t a profession for shrinking violets. The Acostas had nothing to worry about, but some of their guests definitely did, she reflected, remembering those prominent personalities she had noticed attending the wedding with the wrong partner.

‘Are you sure you’re okay?’ she asked with concern as Jane got up and staggered in the general direction of the bathroom.

‘Fine… I’ll sleep it off on the plane going home. The gauchos said their boss has places going spare on his private jet tomorrow, so I’ll be travelling with the young royals, no less. And I’ll be collected from here and taken to the airstrip in a limo. I’ll be in the lap of luxury one minute and my crummy old office the next.’

‘That’s great—enjoy it while you can,’ Romy called out, trying to convince herself that this was a good thing, that she was in fact Saint Romy and thoroughly thrilled for Jane, and didn’t mind at all that the man she’d had sex with hadn’t even bothered to see her back to the bunkhouse safely.

He stayed on post until the lights went out in the bunkhouse and he was satisfied Romy was safely tucked up in bed. Pulling away from the fencepost, it occurred to him that against the odds his caring instinct seemed to have survived. But before he could read too much into that he factored his security business into the mix. Plus he had a sister. Before Lucia had got together with Luke he had always hoped someone would keep an eye on her when he wasn’t around. Why should he be any different where a girl like Romy was concerned?
