Brady laughed, and the transformation was enough to take her breath away.
A handsome man when frowning, he was staggering when he smiled. “You’re one of a kind, Aine. I’ve never met anyone quite like you.”
“Thanks for that,” she said, then added, “and at the risk of inflating an ego too many women before me have stroked, I’ll say the same of you.” She tipped her head back to meet the shadowed eyes she felt watching her with tightly restrained hunger.
He gave her a nod. “Then it’s good we’re not doing this.”
“Absolutely. ‘Tis the sensible solution.”
“This is business,” Brady said. “Sex would just confuse the situation.”
“You’re right again.”
He moved in closer. “It’s good we talked about it. Cleared the air. Got things settled.”
“It is.” She leaned toward him. “I’m sure we’ll both be better off now and able to focus on our shared task.”
Nodding, gaze locked with hers, he whispered, “We’re not going to be sensible, are we?”
“Not at the moment, no,” she said.
Then he kissed her.

Brady Finn liked his life just as it was.
So there was a part of him that was less than enthusiastic about the latest venture his company, Celtic Knot Games, was investing in. But he’d been overruled. Which was what happened when your partners were brothers who sided with each other on the big decisions even as they argued over minutiae.
Still, Brady wouldn’t change a thing because the life he loved had only happened because he and the Ryan brothers had formed their company while still in college. They’d strung together their first video game with little more than dreams and the arrogance of youth.
That game, “Fate Castle,” based on an ancient Irish legend, had sold well enough to finance the next game, and now Celtic Knot was at the top of the video game mountain. The three of them had already expanded their business into graphic novels and role-playing board games. Now they were moving into seriously uncharted waters.
What the hell the three of them knew about hotels could be written on the head of a pin with enough room left over for War and Peace. They’d drawn straws to see who would be the first of them to take over an old hotel and turn it into a fantasy. Brady had lost. He still thought the Ryans had rigged that draw to make sure he was up to bat first, but since there was nothing he could do to change the outcome he was determined to take this challenge and turn it into a win. Brady wouldn’t settle for less.
