me a minute. I’m sorry.” She smiled at the cashier. She could call Ian and ask permission to use his card, which she’d sworn to herself many times she was going to stop carrying.
    “Make that two minutes,” Liz said. “I’ll be right back; I promise.”
    She moved aside to let other people pay, and started pulling up accounts on her phone. One after another, they showed similar messages. Your account has been temporarily suspended. Please call Customer Service for more details.
    She shouldn’t have ignored the phone calls and emails from the different card companies today.
    The conversation with Kyle yesterday morning rushed back to taunt her. He’d said some of her accounts might be frozen because of George’s arrest. She called his office, and was patched to a paralegal who explained any account the SEC believed George had access to was locked, pending investigation.
    Which, as far as Liz could remember, was all of her credit card accounts, plus her primary checking. He shared his cards with her, and she did the same. They trusted each other and were in love. Fuck. At least her investments and trusts were safe.
    Until she got everything shifted, and changed which accounts she accessed, she was stuck out of town, with no money of her own. The company card would take care of her business expenses. She swallowed her pride past her dry throat, and called Ian.
    “Hey. How’s L.A.?” He sounded stressed and rushed.
    That was status quo. “Smoggy, crowded—as you’d expect.” She didn’t have the concentration left to make small talk, and his day was drawing to a close, so he probably didn’t have time. “I need a favor.”
    “Always.” Like that, his tone shifted to concerned.
    “Nothing big. Just… Are you okay if I use your platinum MC while I’m here?”
    “That’s fine. You have to tell me why, though.”
    Of course she did. Because she wanted another I told you so sigh from him. She spat out a brief explanation of what was going on, followed by, “But Kyle’s team is on it. I should have everything back soon.”
    “Did they say soon ?”
    She snarled at the receiver. “No. I did.”
    “I’d check your expectations. But yes, the card’s yours. Give me a heads-up if you make any big purchases. Are you sure you’re okay?”
    “I’m fine. Having a blast besides this. Thank you.”
    “Any time. I have to run. Call me if you need anything else.”
    “Yeah. Sure.” She was pretty certain he disconnected before she finished.
    George had managed to steal a portion of her inheritance anyway. At least he wasn’t using it any more than she was, and he couldn’t make things any worse from behind bars.

Chapter Five
    Jordan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to knock a day’s worth of work from his skull. He didn’t need to look at the clock again, to know they had to be downstairs in less than ten minutes. “You almost ready?” he called. When Chloe didn’t answer, he sat up with a frown and turned his gaze toward the bathroom, where she’d been for almost forty-five minutes. “Chi?”
    “You haven’t called me that in ages.” She moved into view.
    His breath caught and his thoughts froze. “Wow.” Instead of pulling her hair up the way she usually did, she let it fall in loose curls around her shoulders. Which were bare, except for the thin straps of a dress he’d never seen before, that hugged her torso and flared from the hips ending halfway down her calves. If he sketched her right now, he’d add red wings and matching horns and turn her into a stunning succubus. “What are you wearing?” Crap, that probably came out wrong.
    She frowned—yup, definitely wrong—and crossed her arms. “I didn’t bring anything nice besides business clothes with me, so I grabbed this at lunch. Also—excuse me? You did see her. All coiffed and put-together and perma-pressed. Do you think she even owns a free T-shirt with a company logo on it?”
    “And she saw you. And she
