had denied her advances.
    But she wasn’t about to give up.  Her sisters seemed to be getting everything they wanted handed to them on silver platters.  Beth had Grey, who obviously had terrible taste in women if he preferred Beth over her, and now Tracy was getting global recognition as an artist.  It was time that Jen received what she wanted; and that was a man.  Any man, really.  And Blaze would do nicely.
    “You don’t know what took place on that plane and neither does Tracy.  Only Blaze and I know and that’s all that matters,” Jen smiled sagely.
    “I’d bet my last dollar that nothing happened. It’s all in your head, Jen,” Beth said in bewilderment.  “And for the life of me I can’t understand why you would act this way with Tracy.  She’s been so good to you.  From the time she left home and went to live with you in LA, she’s been nothing but kind and loving to you.  Why have you turned on her, Jen?”
    “Spare me.  She left me and went to New York,” Jen said flatly.
    “To pursue her dreams!  You can’t fault her for that.  Everyone deserves a chance to chase their destiny,” Beth reasoned.
    “Blaze likes me and I’m not going to turn away from him to feed into Tracy’s delusions.  That’s not fair to me,” Jen said harshly.
    “Can’t you recognize who needs a reality check?”  Beth asked.
    “It’s not me,” Jen snapped as she walked away.
    She grabbed her suitcase and pulled it into the bedroom.  Beth watched the door slam.  She moved to the terrace doors and stepped out onto the balcony to stare out at the crashing sea.
    She ran her hand through her auburn hair and sighed.  Jen was only there to make as much trouble as possible.  She couldn’t see beyond her own selfish desires.
    Beth had to think of something to keep Jen in check.  What that was she didn’t know.  She sighed with frustration.
    “Lord!  What else could go wrong?”  Beth thought gloomily.
     
    *****
     
    Blaze followed Tracy as the hostess escorted them to their table.  He watched the gentle sway of Tracy’s hips as she walked.  He wanted to pull her back against his groin and let her feel his hot erection.
    He wanted her to know how much of an effect she was having on him.  For Jen to think that he even be the slightest bit interested in her was ludicrous.  He only had eyes for the beautiful woman walking in front him at that moment.  Everyone else was just background noise.
    The hostess stopped at a table that sat in the corner next to a large open window.  Blaze held Tracy’s chair as she sat then took the seat opposite her.  He surveyed the room as the server handed them their menus.
    “Merci,” Tracy smiled.
    “Would you like to order drinks?”  the young girl asked.
    “Oui,” Blaze said.  “We will have a bottle of the ’96 Krug.  We’re celebrating.”
    “Right away, Monsieur,” she said then hurried away.
    “This table is perfect.  The breeze coming off of the ocean feels wonderful,” Tracy sighed.
    “You look stunning,” Blaze complimented.  “I don’t believe I’ve told you how beautiful you are today.  Forgive me.”
    Tracy smiled.
    “Well, our conversation was rudely interrupted earlier,” she replied tartly.
    “No worries.  I achieved my objective; although I must send Bethany flowers to thank her,” he smiled.
    “She was rather instrumental in maneuvering our alone time.  But she’s a fan of yours so she was happy to do it, much to Jen’s annoyance,” Tracy chuckled.
    “Are you a fan of mine, Tracy?”  he asked, only half joking.
    ”How hard are you willing to work for my affections?” she asked shrewdly.
    “I’ll do whatever it takes,” he responded.  “Are you issuing a challenge?”
    Tracy thought for a moment.  She looked into his beautiful honey-gold eyes and felt herself drawn into them.  She had delivered a test and hoped with all her heart that he would pass it.
    “Yes.  If you want my warm regards then you will
