PROLOGUE

G erri sat to have some tea before leaving The Jade Room at Le Maison Vale. Audrey Greene and Iris Spectre sat with her, their expressions full of curiosity.

“Come on, Gerri. Please give us a little more detail,” Iris pleaded.

“Yes. How do I know if my Emma will truly find love?” Audrey asked.

Gerri laughed at their child-like curiosity. “Your daughter is a genius, Audrey. You have a family full of them. All over-achievers. Do you really think Emma can truly fall in love with an average man?”

Audrey sat up straighter, her brows furrowing.

“And,” Gerri glanced at Iris, “Lucas is the epitome of alpha. He doesn’t just want his mate, he wants to be a protector. Emma and Lucas are destined. Whether you help them find each other now or they do it on their own in time, it’s going to happen. I’m just trying to help you get to their happily ever after without waiting on them.”

The women smiled wide, both gripping their tea cups. “So does this truly mean that my baby girl will finally have real love in her life?”

“It’s not just real love. It’s the love she’s always wished for.”

Iris gasped. “Emma is a genius. Will Lucas be too animalistic for her? Will he be too old?”

Gerri giggled at the questions. “First of all, I’ve never had a client complain about a man being too animalistic. That’s usually a plus. As for him being too old, I think Lucas will understand Emma better than any other man. He’s got experience, knowledge, and so many years of having dealt with different personalities.” Gerri took a sip of her tea and then leaned in conspiratorially to whisper. “The love between these two will be so nice to see. Trust me.”

“I trust you,” Iris said.

“Me too!” Audrey exclaimed.

“Wonderful! Go have lunch together and plan this out. It’s going to be perfect.”
