Her heart thundered in her chest as her gaze flicked to the kitchen door. Gabe was now at the edge of the massive island, only two or three feet from her. “Bullshit,” he snapped, and his voice was so much closer that she turned to him on instinct. Nikki’s spine stiffened like steel had been poured into it. “Never in a million years did I think I’d see you here again.” “That’s it? That’s all you have to say to me? Because I have a lot I need to say to you,” he said. So, if you’ll excuse me.” She started to turn away, praying that he’d just leave. “Actually, I need to finish the potatoes.
“Planting your face against the over door?” The house was big enough that it should be possible. She needed this conversation to be over like it was yesterday and she also needed to figure out how she could work here and not run into Gabe.

Was she really telling him the length of her hair? This was the most strained conversation she’d ever had in her life. “It’s basically just highlights and stuff.” “Stuff.” “Yeah, it is.” Her hair used to be a rather dull medium brown, but then she found this amazing hair stylist in Tuscaloosa and turned her brown hair into this array of blondes and browns, using some weird technique called balayage. He moved forward, maybe a foot or two, but stopped like one would if they were approaching a rabid dog. Now, Gabe will do anything to keep Nikki safe-and to stop the de Vincent curse from striking again. one who’s being stalked from the shadows. Gabe sees more than a girl he’s known forever he sees a smart, talented, and heartbreakingly beautiful woman. He’d wanted her then, but for reasons that were bad for both of them. Gabriel spent years beating himself up over his last encounter with Nikki. But escaping memories of Gabe, much less his smoking-hot presence, is harder than expected-especially since he seems determined to be in Nikki’s space as much as possible.
Avoiding Gabe should be easy, especially when so much of Nikki’s time is spent trying not to be stabbed in the back by the malicious hangers-on who frequent the mansion. Yet here she is, filling in for her sick mother. and where she got her heart broken by Gabriel de Vincent himself. It’s where her parents work, where Nikki grew up. Nicolette Bresson never thought she’d return to the de Vincents’ bayou compound. The de Vincent brothers are back-and so is the intrigue that surrounds them-in New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L.
