A Seductive Proposal
“Carly stood beside Quint next to the rust granite island. The chef she had hired for the weekend, simmered a Bolognese sauce on a back burner. Several bottles of Shiraz stood uncorked and waiting.
She cocked her head at the group just rounding the corner, led by the housekeeper hired for the weekend.
She recognized them all from their photos.
The blond beauty, a few years Carly’s senior and married to Gerald Thompson, weaved on her feet even though Paul Frazier supported her.
