who had invited her to move to D.C. to stay with
her until she was able to get on her feet to take on
her role as a single mother. Matt was just a few
months older than Dominic, but the two had been
raised so close they considered each other as
brothers. When Deena had died a few years ago
from breast cancer it was Megan, Marcello and
Dominic who had stood beside him as the only
other family he had.
Dominic came to his feet. “Well, draw up something
that Taylor and I can both live with and make
sure it’s airtight,” he said, recalling what Matt had
gone through with his wife, Rhonda.
“I can’t wait to meet her.”
Dominic shot Matt a surprised look. “Why?”
“Evidently Taylor Steele has caught your attention.”
“No, her proposal has. There’s nothing going
on between me and Taylor other than a business
arrangement.”
“And you’re certain that’s all there is to it?”
“I want her,” Dominic said honestly.
