to himself to enjoy the white sand, refreshing breeze and cooling water.
    Perhaps one day he could talk Sam into relaxing on the beach with him. Of course, that would take a great deal of persuasion on his part, but he was a patient man. And if he could get her into a bikini, well, that would be worth the wait. Picturing her in nothing but strings and triangle-shaped material had him eager to put his game plan into motion.
    Leaving the beauty of the land behind him, Brady stepped back into his room. He pulled his smart phone from his pocket and checked his e-mail. Nothing too pressing.
    He punched in the number to his office, hoping to catch his assistant before she left for the day.
    “Stone and Stone.”
    “Abby, I was hoping to catch you.”
    “I was finishing up for the day and Cade just went home. What can I do for you, Brady?”
    He pulled out the small desk chair and took a seat. “I just wanted to let you know I may be in Kauai a bit longer than expected. I’d like you to forward any calls I may receive regarding Stanley or Miles Donovan.”
    Abby paused, he assumed to jot down his request. “Is there anything else?”
    “Not at the moment. If you need anything you can either call me or let Cade know,” he said.
    “We’ll be just fine.”
    Brady laughed. “I doubt the two of you could go very long without me to be your go-between.”
    “I’ll have you know we haven’t had one argument since you left,” she assured him.
    “Just make sure you keep your claws in until I return.”
    Abby laughed. “Will do. Have a nice trip.”
    Brady disconnected the call, confident his business was in capable hands between Abby and his younger brother and business partner. Even though the two were always bickering like siblings, Abby was the best assistant they’d ever had.
    Brady figured the two of them would finally call a truce and just get together, but so far, no. All the sexual tension in the office was really starting to get to him.
    Before Brady had left, Cade had asked if he could come instead. But Brady was more than ready to get this vengeance started and knew Cade would be too soft or emotional when it came to the dealings of their late father.
    And now that he’d seen Sam, well, he didn’t want Cade anywhere near this siren.
    Which reminded him, he needed to get the ball rolling with the seduction of Sam. God, he’d named the mission—Seduction of Sam. Oh, well, every war had a name. Right?
    He picked up the hotel phone on the desk and dialed the concierge.
    “Good afternoon, Mr. Stone. What can I do for you today?”
    “I’d like to have some flowers delivered.”
    “Not a problem. Do you have a price range or a specific style in mind?”
    Brady thought for a moment. Sam needed something to make her smile, to make her stop and think of only him. “I’d like a large arrangement of exotic flowers. The price doesn’t matter. I want the most extravagant, colorful arrangement this lady has ever seen.”
    The young male on the other end chuckled. “Yes, sir. Do you have an address and name of the recipient?”
    “I want the arrangement delivered to Samantha Donovan in her office here.”
    “Oh, well.” The man stumbled over his words. “We’ll get right on that, Mr. Stone. What would you like the card to say?”
    Brady relayed the message he wanted, had the charge billed to his room and thanked the helpful employee.
    Now all he had to do was wait.
    In the short time he’d talked with Sam, he already knew she was too nice not to thank him personally. Hopefully she would come up to his room and do it face-to-face. That would gain him some of the alone time he needed.
    With the first step of his plan already in play, Brady pulled his laptop from his suitcase and decided to get some work done.
    After all, destroying every last Donovan was going to take some time. He almost hated that someone as angelic-looking as Sam had to get mixed up in this. After all, she may be a total innocent, but she was a
