“You’ll get no complaints from me.”
    “Good. I’m glad you agree. We can’t have a repeat of tonight. When I looked around for help and didn’t find any, I was so pissed. I hate to have to put the customers down. All that was necessary was one strong man. That is enough to stop most drunks before it goes too far.” She went back to pacing and tried to stop her ranting, but she just couldn’t. “Tomorrow I’ll see how many bouncers are full-time. We have to get this under control right away.”
    “Katarina.”
    The adrenaline coursing through her veins only vaguely let her hear him.
    Gaven stepped in front of her. “Katarina, stop pacing. I have something to tell you.”
    The energy that arced between them pulled her from her thoughts. She licked her lower lip and looked up at him. A lock of his blond hair had fallen over his right eyebrow and was dangerously close to his long eyelashes. Her hand itched to smooth the strands back into place.
    “We don’t need any more bouncers.”
    A frown wrinkled her brow. “Haven’t you been listening to anything I’ve said? It’s my job to make sure this pub runs smoothly.”
    He walked over to his desk and leaned against it. “Everything was under control.” He gestured toward the two-way mirror that ran the length of one wall. “I saw what was happening and called Doug and told him to hold back so we could see if you could handle the situation on your own. You can’t be a manager here if you’re not tough. Tonight you proved you are tough enough.”
    Heat rushed to her cheeks. She had been raving at him for nothing. Hell, she shouldn’t have even talked to him like that. He was her boss, not her husband, even though she wished he was. She swallowed hard. “I’m sorry I talked to you like that. I was out of line.”
    He moved away from the desk and stood directly in front of her. “No, you are just passionate about the pub running smoothly. I’m proud of you for handling the situation then trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Nice neck-chop, by the way.”
    His praise warmed her soul. God, she loved him. She took a deep breath and savored the scent of him. “Thanks, my dad taught me how to do it.”
    “I’m glad he did. Go on home. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
    All she wanted to do was lean into him and breathe his scent forever, but instead she nodded and left his office. As she remembered how good his praise felt, she knew she’d wait a lifetime for him.

Chapter Four
     
    Katarina had been flustered all evening.
    The day shift had received a visit from the health inspector. Although it had gone well, she was constantly checking to make sure all the night employees were doing everything up to code.
    What a week. Two days ago she’d had the run in with the drunk, today the health inspector had shown up, and, to top it all off, Lunn had shown up tonight and sat talking to Gaven for at least three hours. Her libido always kicked into overdrive when she saw them together. Why were these two the only men she was attracted to, and why did it have to be both of them? If she could cast a love spell on them she would.
    At least the night was over and she was off tomorrow. She locked the door as soon as Gus, one of the evening bartenders, stepped outside with her. “Good night, Gus. See you in a few days.”
    Gus nodded his bald head. “Night, Katarina.”
    As she walked to her car, a shiver raced up her spine. All the sudden she felt as if someone were watching her. Since moving to Naples she’d had that feeling more than once. Was she crazy, or could someone be watching her? With hurried movements, she got in her car and drove off. She was most likely just tired. Being off tomorrow would help her out.
    The hotel parking lot was a welcome sight. Driving through the parking lot, she found that some asshole had taken her favorite space. Could this week get any worse? Ten spaces down, she found a parking space. After locking her car, she trudged up
