Epilogue

Several months later, Maya entered Roarke’s home office to find him deeply engrossed in a dog-eared script. She plopped her robe-covered fanny onto the corner of his desk. “Whatcha doing?” She twisted the gold bands on her finger absently. It was still difficult at times to believe she was his wife. Some days, she still couldn’t believe she had married him a little over a month ago. The new definitely hadn’t worn off.

He lifted “Playing His Game” to show her the title. “Debating about whether to option this. I don’t want my secret weapon to leak out.”

“I think you should. It could be a very romantic movie.”

He frowned. “The ending is unrealistic.”

Maya nodded sympathetically as she scooted her bottom to move closer to him. “Who would believe something like that could have a happy ending?”

Roarke dropped the script onto the desk and slid her in front of him to wrap his arms around her waist. “You don’t think anyone would believe that?”

“Nah. You should probably ask the writer to change the ending.”

“It is for Hollywood. People are a sucker for love stories with a happy ending.”

Maya giggled as he moved his hand from her waist to venture under the white silk robe she wore. She could tell the exact instant when he realized she wore nothing under it by the way his eyes widened and his breath grew ragged. “You should leave it as it is. I know I’m a sucker for a happy ending.”
