date was one way to ensure that Reese wouldn’t feel obligated to include her in his plans.
    “Mrs. Madaris will see you now.”
    Kenna smiled at the receptionist. “Thanks.”
     
    Kenna thought the same thing now that she had the first time she laid eyes on Syneda Madaris. The woman was simply gorgeous. And from what Kenna had heard, in the courtroom she was equally impressive.
    Long, golden-bronze hair flowed down her shoulders, and her sea-green eyes always seemed to sparkle with excitement. Her pregnancy was more obvious now than it had been a month ago, and she had a radiant glow about her. Reese had mentioned that Syneda and Clayton had announced that they were having a boy. Everyone was happy, especially the couple’s eight-year-old daughter, Remington, who had been begging for a baby brother or sister, preferably a brother.
    “Kenna, it’s so good seeing you,” Syneda said as she hugged her.
    “Thanks. Same here.”
    That was one of the things she enjoyed most about Reese’s family. They were good people, down to earth and as friendly as could be. “Reese had a meeting with Dex, so I thought I’d tag along and use the time to meet with you and Clayton. I understand he’s in court.”

    “Yes, his court docket was changed, but I’ll be glad to help you with anything.”
    “It’s about the foundation I established a few years ago in my grandmother’s memory. I would like your firm to take over handling it for me.”
    Syneda smiled. “It will be our pleasure. We handle a number of foundations and trusts already, including the one Trask has set up and the one Uncle Jake and Diamond established as well.”
    “Wonderful.”
    “It will only take a few minutes to complete the paperwork and then a couple of weeks to get everything notarized. We’ll call you back to sign the necessary documents at that time.”
    “That sounds like a plan,” Kenna said excitedly.
    Less than ten minutes later, Kenna had completed the paperwork and returned the forms to Syneda. “Thanks, Kenna,” Syneda said, sliding the documents into a folder. “So when did you arrive in Houston?”
    “This morning. I sold almost everything I had in Austin, since I want to start fresh and buy new furniture. The things I didn’t want to part with I loaded in a U-Haul truck and drove here.” She chuckled. “I think Reese was a nervous wreck until I arrived at his place. He was afraid I’d fall asleep at the wheel and wind up in a ditch or something.”
    Syneda smiled. “I can imagine. He’s very protective where you’re concerned.”
    She nodded. “Yes, and I’m very protective where he’s concerned as well. I think he’s a wonderful person and a special friend.”
    “Yes, and you’re in love with him.”
    Kenna went utterly still. Was Syneda a mind reader? “What did you say?”
    A knowing smile curved Syneda’s lips. “I said you’re in love with Reese.”
    Kenna drew in a sharp breath, opened her mouth to deny itand then stopped. From the look Syneda gave her, she wasn’t buying anything Kenna had to say. The sea-green eyes staring at her were sharp, shrewd, confident, and for a moment Kenna felt like a deer caught in the headlights. Syneda was right, of course, and the only thing Kenna could do was come clean.
    “Yes, I love him. But how did you know?”
    Syneda chuckled. “I can tell whenever you look at him. I always suspected as much, but last month when you were on the dance floor, you only had eyes for him.”
    Kenna shook her head. “That’s pathetic.”
    Syneda gave her a soft smile. “No, it’s not pathetic. There’s nothing wrong with a woman loving a man.”
    “But it’s pathetic when he doesn’t love you back. Reese only sees me as his best friend and nothing more. I’m so afraid he’s going to discover the truth one day and that will ruin everything.”
    Syneda shook her head. “I don’t think it will be that way at all. Making the move from friends to lovers was pretty easy for me and
