been born a man.
    He saw her reach the door at the same time Devin walked out. They stopped and chatted familiarly. Whatever Devin said made her smile, and simultaneously, every cell in Lake’s body lit up as well. In that instant, he knew he could probably sit there and gaze at her all day. She and Devin ended their conversation, and moments later she entered the building. Devin glanced around the parking lot before noticing where Lake was parked and began walking his way.
    Lake tried like hell to pull himself out of his daze. It was simply absurd that he’d spent the last few minutes lusting after a woman so young. Though anyone who knew the Masters brothers would agree that nobody could ever fault or question their taste in women.
    â€œSorry to keep you waiting,” Devin said, opening the car door and sliding onto the seat beside him.

    â€œWho is she?” Lake asked before Devin could fasten his seat belt.
    Devin glanced over at him with a lifted brow. “Who is who?”
    Lake turned the key in the ignition and began backing out of the parking space. “The woman you were just talking to.”
    Devin smiled now that he understood the question. “She’s my drug dealer.”
    â€œWhat!” Lake hit the brakes.
    â€œWhoa, Lake, calm down! It was just a joke,” Devin said, laughing. “At least, it’s one that she and I share. She’s one of my pharmaceutical reps, but it’s an inside joke between the two of us, since she sells me the drugs. And she’s good at what she does. She keeps me and my staff on top of the latest advancements and breakthroughs with the medications I prescribe. I’ve been working with her for at least three years now.”
    Lake frowned. “She’s kind of young, isn’t she?”
    Devin chuckled. “How old do you think she is?”
    â€œTwenty-four. No more than twenty-five.”
    Devin shook his head. “Guess again, and add five years to the highest number.”
    Lake swung his head around. It was a good thing that they had come to a traffic light. “She’s thirty?”
    â€œJust about. She will be in less than six months.”
    â€œYou sure?”
    â€œPositive. The girls in the office are teasing her about reaching the big three-oh.”
    Lake was surprised. She was still a lot younger than
what he preferred, but there was an appeal that he just couldn’t shake. “So, what’s her name?”
    â€œCourtney Andrews.”
    â€œDo you know if she’s involved with anyone?”
    â€œNow that’s something I’m not sure about, but I don’t think so, because my secretary has been trying to fix her up with one of her brothers. So far she hasn’t been too successful. Probably because one of my nurses pulled Courtney to the side and told her what a lowlife Christine’s brother is. I’m surprised that you and Courtney haven’t met.”
    Lake glanced over at Devin before moving into the intersection. “Why would we have?”
    â€œBecause you know some of the same people. She’s Sonya’s cousin.”
    Lake’s eyes showed surprise. “Sonya? Mike’s Sonya?”
    â€œYes,” Devin said, smiling. “Mike’s Sonya.”
    Lake recalled that he and Sonya actually met sometime last year before she and Mike had become serious about each other. It had been on a day she dropped by the St. Laurent with Carla to visit with Brandy.
    â€œToo bad you’re going out of town and won’t be attending the wedding on Saturday,” Devin said, interrupting his thoughts. “Courtney is part of the wedding party.”
    â€œYes, it is too bad,” Lake said, but already his mind was thinking ahead to the day he would be returning to Orlando. And the one thing he intended to do when he got back was make sure he got introduced to Courtney Andrews.
