My big, happy romance with the man I trusted to the ends of the earth.

That night when we left South Beach, Jake came home with me. Someone was there to greet him at the door.

Jade.

The second we came in, she sauntered over to him, swishing her tail and murmuring sweet meows. With my stepfather and his fiancée behind bars, I hadn’t been able to leave The Hit Cat alone. I’d offered her a home. Eli and Willow had agreed, so she was mine now.

Jade seemed to like Miami—the tropical breezes, the warm sun, the salty air. But she really liked my guy. She rubbed up against Jake, purring thunderously.

I looked up at him and cupped his cheek. “She knows a good thing when she sees it.”

“So do I.” He smiled at me, a little dirty, a lot loving, and ran a finger across the glittering ruby in my necklace. Then he kissed me.

And I knew we’d be kissing like this, passionately, deeply, and full of love for a very long time.

Which was convenient, because we worked together now. I still ran Ariel’s Island Eco-Adventure Tours, and I still booked a lot of business. But sometimes I appeared busier than I was. I’d book a tour for Vienna. Or Milan. Or Rio de Janeiro. Well, there was a lot of action in those places. Jake had clients around the world. And he occasionally needed a partner.

As he broke the kiss, his green eyes sparked with a familiar glint—the glint of adventure. My breath caught in excitement before he said the next words. “By the way, funny thing about rubies,” he said.

“What’s the funny thing about rubies?”

“Got a tip that a guy in Barcelona had some rubies stolen from him. I’m talking to him about getting them back.”

I arched an eyebrow. “I take it that means you’ll be in Spain for a while?”

“I might be.” He tapped his chin playfully. “Think you might have a tour in Barcelona?”

I grinned. “I just might.”

“There’s nothing like treasure hunting with my partner,” he said.

I had to agree. “Let’s do this. The ruby caper.”

“Sounds like my kind of adventure.”

Mine too—as long as I had this man by my side.
