attendant. They thanked the man and entered the jet
way.
“Justin, I was thinking that if this Shana is giving you all these great
pointers about the hotel business, if I were you, I would do everything in my power to make that woman happy so that she never goes to the competition
again.”
“Anything?”
“Hell, I’d even marry her,” Trent said taking his seat near the window.
“You’re nuts. I’ve only emailed her and left instructions through my
staff for her. I haven’t even talked to her on the phone.”
Justin sat down in the aisle seat, which he preferred because his legs
were so long and he could stretch out a bit more.
Trent took out his eye mask and stuck a pillow behind his head. “You’re
right. It was a dumb idea. Well, buddy, see you in the US.” Trent pulled the
eye mask over his eyes shutting out the world.
Justin stared at Trent wishing he could simply put on a mask and close
out the world like that. Instead, he knew that sleep for him would not come
for a long time. Not until he figured out a way to a break his father’s Will,
secure his hotels, and make his childhood dreams come true.

CHAPTER TWO
“Y ou’re naked!” Shana shrieked at the thoroughly ripped, dark haired
Adonis, as she stepped through the cloud of steam toward the tiled
seat area in the women’s steam room. She was so startled that she didn’t
realize she’d inadvertently dropped the luxurious Turkish cotton towel
she’d loosely wrapped around her.
The man stared at Shana, drinking in every inch of her luscious curves.
She was tall with perfectly formed long legs, a very small waist and quite
ample breasts. Her skin was creamy and unmarked by any blemishes except
for a sprinkle of freckles across the tops of her softly curving shoulders. Her
honey blonde hair was fastened at her nape with a clip but several tendrils
had escaped and formed a glistening golden halo around her heart shaped
face. Electric green eyes stared back at him in horror.
A bemused but slightly wicked smile parted his full lips. “So are you,”
he said in a deep, velvety voice that oozed sexuality.
Even through the clouds of steam, Shana could see his crystal blue eyes
searing into her. His surprise was quickly supplanted by appreciation and
then she most definitely saw interest.
So stunned by his presence, her mind didn’t register what he was saying
to her. She couldn’t take her eyes off the man. In all her life, she’d never
seen anyone as gorgeous as the hunk of masculinity sitting only a few feet
away from her. He had very broad shoulders, six-pack abs, powerful thighs
and calves and biceps so well defined she discerned that he must be an
athlete of some type. He reminded her of the Olympians who spent their
lifetimes in training. That, or he was a model, she thought. With a strong
square jaw line, deep set blue eyes and thick, nearly black hair that fell in a
clump over his forehead, he was just too beautiful to be real.
He’s gotta be gay , she thought. There’s no way a woman could be so
lucky as to stumble onto a prince like this.
Watching her with pure delight, he unbent from the crouched position
he was in with his elbows on his knees and straightened. He leaned his back
against the white tiled wall and continued to stare at her.
Shana’s mind was filled with the glorious sight of his well-defined body
and with dreamy visions of what it would be like to be held naked against
that powerful chest.
“I said, you’re naked,” he chuckled and let his eyes skim down from her
breasts, across her flat belly to the triangle between her legs.
Feeling his gaze like a hot laser, Shana finally realized she had dropped
her towel. “Oh, my God!” Frantically, she bent and retrieved her towel and
held it in front of her. Fidgeting, she tried to wrap it around her, but her fingers
had somehow gone numb, pretty much like her mind. She dropped the
edge of the towel twice more
