Chapter One
“Hey, Ruby, how’s it going?”
She glanced up at Lance just long enough to give him a dark look before she
threw her purse behind the bar and shoved onto a barstool.
“That bad, huh?”
“You have no idea.” It had been the kind of day that made her want to go
back home and crawl under the covers, and instead she was here in Purgatory
preparing for a long night.
“You see the schedule for tonight yet?”
“Yeah, I saw it a few days ago on my last shift.”
Lance shook his head and slid a sheet of paper in her direction down the
smooth wood top of the bar. “There’s been a few changes in the entertainment
since then.”
“Whatever. I still have a busy night ahead of me and I’m not here for the
entertainment. As long as the tips are good I’ll be happy.”
“You might want to take a look.”
She stilled at the warning tone of his voice. “Why do I have a sudden feeling
you’re trying to tell me something I’m not going to like?”
Lance shrugged and walked away from the bar. “Let me know when you’ve
cooled off and I’ll come back.”
Ruby rolled her eyes and plucked the paper from the bar. How bad could it
be? She’d been working here for over a year now and this wasn’t exactly her first
charity event. These nights always included everything but the kitchen sink.
Gabe had explained more than once that by offering so many options he’d draw
twice the number of people than a regular night, and so far he’d not disappointed
her.
His predictions were always spot on.
She skimmed the schedule, not seeing anything out of the ordinary until she
got to the bottom. There, in bold red pencil, someone had scribbled the name
Zane
.
She felt the blood drain from her face and her head spun. She couldn’t tear
herself from the word and her brain repeated his name over and over. Unbidden
images of dark hair and knowing eyes filled her head. Lips made for pleasuring
and a too confident smile every time he looked at her, as if he saw deep inside
her. Of all the damn people in this town, why him? No, there had to be a mistake.
