Chapter One

Phaedra

Phaedra let out a happy sigh and stretched her arms over her head. Rolling over, she looked at Logan. She still couldn’t believe her luck.

Phaedra loved the way Logan’s long blonde eyelashes laid so delicately against his cheek. His sandy blonde hair was tousled from sleep, but he still looked amazing. Only men could look this good first thing in the morning, Her hair was in two braids to keep it from suffocating Logan in his sleep. It was incredible to think that agreeing to pose as someone’s fiancé would get Phaedra the most amazing boyfriend in the world.

All she wanted to do was lie in his arms and gaze lovingly at his pretty face. If Logan woke up and saw that, he might freak out. Phaedra definitely would if she was in his place. They both had a lot to do today. She might as well get the day started. Phaedra decided to sneak out of bed before Logan woke up. Just as her feet touched the ground, she felt his arm wrap around her waist and pull her back.

I won’t let you get away that easily, Logan said.

I wasn’t getting away. I was going to make coffee.

What about breakfast?

You’re right. I should probably stay here, Phaedra said, settling back into the pillows.

Logan buried his face in her neck and mumbled something Phaedra couldn’t understand.

I hope you just said that you’ll help me by making breakfast while I make coffee, she replied.

Logan smiled at her. I really hit the jackpot with you.

I guess you could say you landed an open and shut case, Phaedra said as she dissolved into a fit of giggles.

Logan groaned and turned away from her. It’s awfully early for legal jokes. I’m so disappointed in you.

He rolled out of bed and headed for the kitchen. Phaedra hopped up and followed closely behind him. She couldn’t help but admire the view of Logan’s muscular back. With his broad shoulders and lean waist, Logan would be just as at home in an underwear ad as he was in a courtroom. Phaedra still wasn’t sure when he had time to work out, but he was always in peak physical condition.

When Logan began prepping for breakfast, Phaedra easily joined him. Phaedra had never cooked with anyone else, but the two of them seemed to fit perfectly in his kitchen. The open floor plan didn’t hurt. They had plenty of room to maneuver. It was so nice to prepare a meal while overlooking the city. She had no idea what he paid for rent, but whatever it was, it was worth it for the view alone. She was lost in her daydream when Logan pulled her out of her haze.

Phaedra? Honey? Are we expecting company?

No. Why would you ask that?

Because you just scooped enough coffee into that machine for twelve people.

Phaedra looked down and was surprised to see a huge pile of coffee in the filter. She chuckled. Sorry. I got lost in the view.

It’s quite alright, I understand. It must be hard to wake up to a man this handsome.

Phaedra made a gagging noise. Lawyers really are the worst.

I don’t think you have any evidence to support that case, counselor.

You said it was too early for legal talk.

Excellent counterpoint.

Thanks for the generosity, Phaedra said, rolling her eyes.

What can I say, I’m a naturally giving man.

Phaedra narrowed her eyes. Logan saw her reaction and made a dramatic show of preparing the omelets. He cracked eggs with the flourish of a stage magician. Logan threw in vegetables as if he were throwing cards. He refused to tone it down until Phaedra was laughing too hard to talk.

They ate together while engaging in more playful banter. Once he finished his breakfast, Logan got oddly quiet. Phaedra noticed that his brow was furrowed. She wondered what she could have done to make him frown. The food was delicious. Maybe she had given him too much coffee.

Is everything alright?

There is something else I wanted to talk to you about. Logan shifted in his seat. You’ve been spending a lot of time here. Several nights a week, actually, and I—

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to overstay my welcome. Phaedra’s heart sank. She was so happy here. She thought he was, too.

No, you haven’t. I was thinking, sometimes my schedule is a bit hectic. Your job brings you to the city, but if I’m at work you just head back home. If you have a lot of work, and I have a heavy case load, you spend the night in a hotel. Hotels aren’t cheap in New York City. Maybe it would be cheaper if I gave you a key to my place.

Phaedra stared at Logan, dumbfounded. They had been in a relationship for a few months. Phaedra hadn’t expected anything like this. Maybe he was still tired and didn’t know what he was saying. It was far too soon for the caffeine to have kicked in.

Based on your shocked expression, I will assume that you don’t like the idea.

It’s not that. You just caught me by surprise.

"Look, I’m not asking you to move in with me. I just think visiting would be

easier for everyone this way. Plus, we’ll get to see each other more. Assuming you want to see more of me."

There is no need to assume. I can’t get enough of you, Phaedra replied.

Logan walked over to her chair, reached down, and began lightly massaging her shoulders. She couldn’t say no to that. Logan didn’t have to be this persuasive. Phaedra was thrilled by the prospect of having this much access to Logan.

Until now, it had never occurred to her that they might exchange keys. Yes, they had fallen for each other while pretending to be engaged, but this was a big
