Chapter 46 Book Two: Entangled Destinies- The Arrangement

• She shouldn't have come. That's what Sera told herself as she stepped out of the elevator and into the low light of Julian Voss's apartment. But then she saw him-shirt half undone, eyes a dangerous blue-and every rational thought burned away.
• Chapter 1- Woman Wanted
• "Gawd, women are such a pain." Julian snapped his cell phone shut and threw it onto his night table. He untied his blue-striped silk tie and tossed it onto the bed. In moments, his Italian-cut three-piece suit lay equally flung aside. Pulling open the bottom dresser drawer, he removed a fraying, college sweatshirt and a pair of faded blue jeans. After lacing up his well-worn sneakers and ruffling his groomed hair, he stared at his reflection in his full-length mirror. The transformation from chairman of the board to construction worker took less than five minutes. Grabbing his wallet, he removed his driver's license, one charge card and thirty-five dollars, and placed them into an old wallet. He stuffed it into his back hip pocket, grabbed his cell phone and exited his bedroom.
