tease. I fell in love with your sense of humor as well as your handsome face.” She sighed and hugged him closer. “I’m so happy to be with you, this is my every wish come true.”
    Rogue raised his eyes to the ceiling, sending up a small prayer for help. “Look.” He eased her away from his body. “I don’t know who you are, and obviously there has been some type of misunderstanding.” He moved a few steps away. “I wish you well, Miss, but I’ve got to go.” Tipping his hat, Rogue made his escape, wanting to get as far away from the saloon as possible. As he hurried out the door, Rogue could still hear her calling his name.
     
     
     

CHAPTER TWO
     
     
    Rogue helped Kit from his truck. They’d flown from Kansas to Austin, checked in with Elijah and his mom, then drove down to Galveston Island to catch the cruise ship. His mother and Kit had hit it off, just like he’d known they would. When Kit started in on Marian to move to Red Creek, Rogue had just known she’d flat-out refuse. To his shock, she told them she’d consider it.
    Elijah had inundated him with questions and reports. When he returned from this cruise, Rogue resolved to sit down with his partner and see if they could come up with a more workable schedule. Living in two places and running two businesses was going to take some getting used to. He hoped they could come up with some viable solutions.
    “That is one big boat!” Kit mused as they walked toward the dock where the thousand-foot ocean liner waited. “She can hold 3652 guests, plus crew.”
    Rogue noticed Kit was trembling a little. “Are you all right?” Wrapping an arm around her shoulder, he kissed her temple. The Texas sunshine felt warm on his skin. An island breeze whipped Kit’s silky hair around her face.
    Kit shrugged off her unease. “I’m just excited, that’s all.”
    Rogue steered her toward the gate where they would check their luggage. “Is it the trip that’s exciting you…or me?”
    His humor made her feel better. She determined to put her stupid fears to rest. Nothing bad would happen on this trip. This vacation would end in a wedding–she hoped. “It’s you,” she told him with a smile. “It’s always you.” The last couple of days he had been busy with his brothers and their company. But no matter how much work he had to do, Rogue always made time for her. He couldn’t seem to keep his hands off of her and that made Kit feel cherished and secure. She just hoped her plan for this cruise would make him as happy as she thought it would.
    “I thought so, I’m irresistible.” Rogue winked at her as they accepted their boarding passes and made for the gangway.
    Kit held on to her shoulder bag with one hand and Rogue’s hand with the other. “Yes, you are.” Maybe they could just stay in the cabin and make love the entire time. That way she wouldn’t be aware they were out at sea–miles from land, a mile of water below them... Little beads of sweat popped out on her temple. What had she been thinking? They could’ve been on the strip in Vegas by now, standing in some little white wedding chapel.
    “Welcome!” A smiling cruise ship employee greeted them. Kit had to admit, everything was beautiful. The boat was snow white, trimmed in blue and red. Everything was pristine and plush. People were milling around sipping drinks, waiting for the ship to set sail. They were given directions to their cabin, but took their time strolling from deck to deck.
    “This is really fancy,” Kit admitted when they found themselves on the Promenade deck. There were several restaurants, a casino, clubs, an atrium–everything you could think of and all was showcased with floor to ceiling glass windows. Comfortable seating was everywhere and someone gave Rogue a listing of the shows and stars who would be performing.
    “You can say that again,” Rogue whistled. “This is like a floating city.”
    They stopped at an interactive map of the boat. “Look at the
