A damned fool. Well, he probably was one, since he was here. He didn't like the setup, not one bit, but Hagen had been adamant about it. And, if nothing else, Rafferty had learned respect for Hagen's intelligence, no matter what Raffertys Wife thought of his methods. Had Hagen deliberately chosen to approach him when Zach and Lucas--both of whom would probably have tried to dissuade him--were out of touch on business for Josh? For that matter, Josh himself was out of reach on his honeymoon somewhere Raffertys Wife the South Pacific. And only Hagen would have had the nerve to intrude at such a time to ask if Josh minded giving up his attorney for a while. Only Hagen would have been able to find Josh. Rafferty smiled. He would have given a lot to have been Raffertys Wife fly on the wall during that conversation. It had been just a month or two since the secretive federal agent's machinations had involved them all: Joshua Long, who commanded a formidable financial empire, and the three men who worked for him and were his friends. And at the conclusion Raffertys Wife that hectic, troubling, dangerous episode, the wily government agent had managed to draft Josh and his men into "temporary" service. Temporary, my eye! Rafferty thought now. Hagen had intended Raffertys Wife along to call in those markers, one by one. He wouldn't get hold of Josh again; Raven, Josh's bride, would see to that, Rafferty guessed. But, he thought ruefully, Hagen had managed to get him. Thinking of Zach and Lucas, Rafferty decided that Hagen would have a more difficult time enlisting their aid on future assignments.

As for himself, well, his strongest Raffertys Wife was curiosity. And Hagen had known that. Damn him. A soft, perhaps timid knock at the door of his suite recalled him to the present, and he turned from the window, unconsciously squaring his shoulders, and headed for the door. With no idea what he would confront, he was braced for the worst. He opened the door, and his golden gift for words, greatly polished by a Harvard education, failed him totally. I'm Sarah Cavell. Clearing his throat, he hastily stepped Raffertys Wife and gestured for Sarah Cavell to enter. He felt a sudden strong pulse throb through his body on a wave of heat. Never before had he experienced such an instant, powerful reaction to a Raffertys Wife. It shook him badly. Still, he was able to put one foot in front of the other to follow her. Hagen had offhandedly called Sarah Cavell "attractive. Or his eyes. Sarah was a tiny woman, barely five feet tall if that. And though another woman might have called her petite, no man worth Raffertys Wife name would. Her vibrant, surprisingly lush curves of breasts and hips were sure to stop traffic Raffertys Wife haunt Raffertys Wife. Her hair was that rare, striking color between red and gold, and it hung thick and Raffertys Wife to the middle of her back. Styled simply with a center part, that silky sweep of burnished hair framed a face that was too delicately perfect to be real. She was like a painting; every feature was finely drawn with artistic excellence. And in that strikingly perfect face, her Raffertys Wife were simply incredible. Huge Raffertys Wife shadowed by long, thick lashes, they were a clear, pale green. In that single, flashing instant, Rafferty wanted Sarah Cavell more than he'd ever wanted anything or anyone in Raffertys Wife life. All the training and experience gained in his thirty-four years of living hadn't prepared him for this. His responses were no longer controlled by his mind.

And the fact that he partially succeeded was due almost entirely to the strength of his own force of will. A complicated situation, he thought grimly, had just become nothing less than impossible. How could he do what he was supposed to? He waved her to a chair and sat down across from her, hoping his reaction hadn't shown on his face. It was said he had a poker face Raffertys Wife he desired one; with Raffertys Wife luck at all, that was true. And he was, after all, a lawyer, so he got his tongue in gear.
