know you’re pregnant, honey. Just look at the test or I’m taking you to the doctor’s office right now.”

She rolled her eyes. “You always have to be like that, don’t ya?”

He grabbed the test. But when he didn’t say anything, simply stared at it over her head, she nudged him.

“Well?”

He shrugged and started to walk nonchalantly away.

Pepper stood there, staring at his broad shoulders as he disappeared into their bedroom. She followed, huffing. “Well?”

He looked playfully over his shoulder at her. “You didn’t want to know. I’m just helping you out.”

She laughed, delighted with him. Who would have thought that such a domineering, arrogantly irritating man could melt her heart with these kinds of teasing moments?

“Dimitri!” Pepper called out.

He turned, leaning a shoulder against the doorframe. “Pepper!” he mocked.

“Tell me!” she laughed.

He stared at her, his face completely blank for a long moment. Her heart sank. She wasn’t pregnant. He was trying to let her down easy.

“Positive,” he told her.

Pepper’s head jerked up and she stared at him, her breath caught in her throat for a long moment. Then she squealed and raced over to him but…just before she threw herself into his arms, she stopped, those horrible fears rushing back.

“I’ll be a better mother this time!” she vowed.

His eyes glowed with love. “You are already the best mother,” he told her, and swept her up into his arms. “I love you!”

“Who the hell are you?”

Exhausted and confused, not to mention, taken aback by the harsh demand, Harper jerked to a halt at the end of the stairway and blinked owlishly up at the giant man glaring down at her. “Um…” she was groggy after traveling for the past twenty four hours, so it took her several tries to understand his question. “I’m Dr. Harper Ross,” she said, extending her hand in greeting. “I’m here to work with–”

“No, you’re not!” He snapped as his eyes narrowed.

Okay, Harper was exhausted, but she still knew her own name. Didn’t she? “I’m not?” she asked, rubbing her temples hoping to alleviate the headache that formed somewhere over France and had intensified with each passing mile.

The giant’s glare turned into an expression of shock. “You are?” His eyes moved over her blond hair that yesterday had looked smooth and professional, but now probably looked bedraggled. She’d carefully applied makeup, but suspected most of it had rubbed off by now…she didn’t want to even think about how pale and sickly she looked without makeup.

Harper blinked. Was this a test? If it was, she suspected that she was failing miserably. “Yes?” she replied, still confused. Who did this behemoth think she was? And why was the sun so painfully hot?! She looked around, but the tarmac on the private airfield shimmered silently. She’d never experienced heat like this before! Was the world on fire?

“Oh, this is going to be great!” the giant announced gleefully, his features almost handsome as his scowl shifted to a wide smile.

Was this “Crazy Land”? Had the mind-numbing heat cooked this man’s brain?

He was a lunatic. That was the only possible explanation. That, or she was completely misunderstanding what was going on. Which was entirely possible. She’d been on that damn plane forever, or so it felt, and all she wanted now was a cool shower, a glass of wine, and a bed that wasn’t flying thirty thousand feet in the air.

“Right. Great.” She blinked again, wondering if the soles of her shoes were melting into the tarmac yet. “Um…well, it was very nice meeting you, but I really need to–”

“This way,” the giant replied, interrupting her again as he turned, pointing the way.

Harper gritted her teeth and watched as the irritating giant moved towards a line of waiting SUVs. Surely he didn’t expect her to actually move in this heat? She had sunglasses…somewhere. Maybe. Had she packed her sunglasses? She’d been
