Jayden shook his head. “Not happening. You know my history with her family isn’t exactly friendly.”
Brook scowled. “So this is my problem?”
Elyse gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. “She asked you to find her husband, which means she trusts you. She

Sighing, Brook reached for Jayden’s cigarette pack and lit one of his own. After a deep inhale, he squared his
