behind him.
    She shook her head. She might not get her money today, but she would get it. The company wouldn’t care for the bad publicity her screaming about not being reimbursed for being refused annual leave would cause. And it was all so silly. There was no reason not to permit her to take the leave owed to her. They weren’t very busy at all anymore. It was just his way of proving he was in charge of them all.
    At four thirty she left her office and went around the department saying good-bye to everyone. Some asked what she was planning to do and she just smiled. She didn’t really want anyone to know she already had a job to go to. She would tell people only after she’d actually begun working at the clinic. When she returned to her own office for the last time and checked her e-mail, there was a note from the human resources manager to say her bank account had been credited with the salary owing to her, plus cash to replace her annual leave, and also a bonus she’d been entitled to but that her boss had never signed off on. “That goatish, fly-bitten maggot pie. How dare he hide that from me? I wonder how many other people he’s prevented from getting bonuses!”
    She sent back a quick thank-you note, logged off the computer for the last time, and changed into her leathers and boots, then picked up her cardboard box and her purse and left. She’d miss her friends, but not the company and most definitely not her boss.
    It was time to start thinking about her new boss, the panty-drenchingly delicious Dr. Oscar Thorne, and his equally hunky associate, Mr. Danny Davies. Just looking at their fine physiques was going to be enough to keep her happy for the foreseeable future.

    Ambrielle looked up when she sensed someone in the doorway to her little office. It had taken her a few days to sort out the mess the paperwork was in, but now she was starting to feel relaxed here, and she knew most people’s names and their positions in the clinic.
    Her heart almost missed a beat when she saw it was the oh-so-yummy carpenter.
    “Hi, Danny. Have you run out of lumber again?” Almost she’d wanted to ask him if he had enough screws, but that was too close to what her body would like to do with his.
    His shoulder-length brown hair was tied back with a piece of leather, and his brown eyes sparkled at her. She wanted to think he liked the look of her as much as she appreciated his lean, stringy, runner’s build, but much more likely was that he was just glad she ordered his building supplies on time.
    Oh how she’d like to supply a few other things for him. Once again her naughty mind was linking words like hammer and nailed. She refused to dwell on thoughts below her waist and kept her gaze on his face.
    His eyes seemed approving somehow, and kind and thoughtful, but there was lust in them as well, she was sure. It was such a shame nothing could happen since they worked together.
    “I just dropped in to tell you I’m off to town to pick up more paint. I watched Valentino Rossi training for the MotoGP season on the TV last night. Have you ever considered racing your motorcycle?”
    Now that was interesting. She’d never expected him to ask her that kind of question. Still she was happy to answer honestly.
    “When I was seventeen or eighteen I rode in a few races. But if you look at the crowds watching, most of the bikers have broken legs and arms, or have suffered even worse injuries. I decided I like my bones just the way they are, so I stick to regular riding.”
    “It’s still more dangerous than driving a car, though.”
    “Sure, but you can get run over by a bus just crossing the road.”
    Danny laughed.
    “Are you keeping my office administrator from her work again?” Oscar had appeared in the doorway behind Danny.
    “Nope. Just saying I’m off to pick up some more paint.”
    Ambrielle decided she knew these two men well enough to tease them just a little bit. “Danny, you really need to buy
