Humid
July air slammed into Finn as he rushed from the steel and glass high-rise of
his family’s prestigious business consulting firm. The fine linen shirt he wore
instantly stuck to his chest. He tugged at the fabric and surveyed the heavy
afternoon traffic. The shrill horn from a passing vehicle blared, starting a
frenzy of honking.
Finn released a heavy sigh and
loosened his silk tie. If he didn’t find a cab right away, he’d be late for his
flight.
He flicked his gaze at the empty
curbside stand then hurried along Madison Avenue in search of a taxi. Sudden
tingling on the back of his neck alerted him someone followed. A glance over
his shoulder confirmed his suspicion.
Damn.
To be stalked by beautiful women would be most men’s fantasy dream, but it was
his worst nightmare and all too real. The debutante following him was only the
most recent in a barrage of overzealous females set on making his life hell.
He clutched his shoulder bag filled
with his reenactment gear and quickened his pace. He didn’t have the time or
the inclination to deal with the woman’s intrigues.
Finn had a games to attend. Damn
good thing he’d sent his claymore on ahead.
In an effort to lose her, he
sprinted for several blocks, weaving in and out of hordes of pedestrians, and
ducked into a side street. He jumped into the first cab he came across.
“LaGuardia, and make it quick.”
When he looked back, a second cabby
pulled in behind them, the darned woman was the passenger. His gut burned with
dread. He told her he wouldn’t marry her. Why did she persist in pursuing him?
