Chapter One

The hot summer sun beat down on her sweaty body as Kate lay at the edge of river during an afternoon of swimming with her sisters, brothers and their bodyguards. They made a large, noisy group, splashing in the river, running up and down the grassy shore, diving from a raft someone had shoved out into the middle of the river. It was a riotous group except for one man, Aidan, her own bodyguard, who swam a little away, keeping to himself but every once in a while glancing up in her direction, his brown eyes sparkling.

"Soooo? When are you going to tell us all about him?"

Kate glanced at her older sister, her mind dazed from watching Aidan swim. "What do you mean, Elise?"

Aidan continued to stroke across the river, somersaulted beneath the surface and stroked back. His large muscled arms and shoulders moved in such a fluid manner that he appeared one with the water. His body glistened in the sun.

"You know," Elise said. "How he is, uh, out of his swim trunks?"
