A Dollop of Daisy

Daisy looked at Gabe. What would she do if he said no?

"Your sister?" His brows slammed together as he stared at her. "What the hell is your sister doing in Columbia?"

"Her yacht flipped and she's in the hospital." Just like Elise to leave the cleaning of messes to her. What would happen to the jewels if Daisy didn't hightail it to Columbia?

"It has nothing to do with drugs?"

"Of course not!" Unless you considered the jewels belonged to the regional drug lord, or whatever he was called down there. "She and her husband were vacationing when a storm," of bullets, "tipped their yacht over and passing fisherman pulled them out. At least that's what the person" i.e. Elise who placed an urgent call from the hospital, "who called me said. Now are you coming or not?"

"Why do you want me again?"

"Because I need you. I don't have anyone else."

She really should have bid higher on him at the auction, taken him as hers, but then she realized she'd left her wallet at home and the place insisted on cold hard cash upfront. No checks or credit cards. As if it were the 50's.

Daisy needed him to go with her. Needed him to help her save the jewels. Elise would be okay, but they needed to get those precious stones her sister risked her life for out of the country.

From what she'd heard, Gabe was the perfect person to help. Plus he was easy on the eyes.

Nothing like a little danger to spark a one-night stand.

Gabe sighed. "Alright. I'm in."
