Farm?”
    Silence pulsed between them and worry darkened her eyes, turning them more smoky than blue. “No.”
    Interesting. “Why is that?”
    She shifted her weight on her feet. “My father didn’t want our operation connected to the Sutherland Farm purebreds.”
    â€œI share your father’s view, and if you don’t give me the records now, then I’ll get a court order to have your animals evicted from my property.”
    She sighed heavily. “Fine. But you haven’t heard the last of this. Find Your Center is critical to Sutherland Farm’s reputation and I intend to prove it.”
    A threat like that he could handle. It was this crazy desire for her and his admiration for her dedication to the worthless animals that he wanted no part of.
    First and foremost, he had to come up with a plan to get rid of Hannah Sutherland and her nags before he did something stupid such as take her to bed to see if she was as passionate between the sheets as she was about her horses.

Five
    â€œM y office. Now.” Wyatt’s clipped command for Hannah’s presence via cell phone made her heart skip a beat.
    Not a promising start to her Monday.
    â€œI’ll be right there.” She disconnected the call, slipped her phone into her pocket and trudged toward the house, feeling a bit like a horse traveling down the chute to the slaughterhouse. She’d been dreading this summons since handing over Find Your Center’s financials Saturday night. Apparently, Wyatt had taken a look at her files.
    And while his kiss might be hotter than a branding iron, she didn’t doubt for one moment that the coldhearted bottom-line bastard was going to try to close Find Your Center. If her sales pitch hadn’t changed his mind, then she had to come up with something else that would. Too many people depended on her. She couldn’t let the students or their families down. And then there were her animals…
    She wished her cousin were here. Megan was a brilliant strategist. She knew how to research her Grand Prix opponentsand use their strengths and weaknesses against them. But Megan had chosen to ride the European Grand Prix circuit because she avoided anything that would cause her to cross paths with her uncle, and Hannah didn’t dare call Megan to ask for help because her cousin would drop everything and race to Hannah’s rescue, leaving her horses, her career and her hunky lover behind.
    Megan had a chance at success and true happiness that Hannah refused to screw up. She squared her shoulders. If she wanted this situation resolved with the least collateral damage to the people and horses she cared about, she had to win over Wyatt.
    The kitchen door opened the moment she set foot on the patio, revealing Nellie. “Good gracious, child, you’ve lost weight. Can’t you feed yourself when I’m away?”
    Hannah forced a smile and wrapped Nellie’s substantial frame in a hug. “You know I forget to eat when I’m busy, and it is that time of year. How was your vacation?”
    â€œI’ve discovered Caribbean Island cruises aren’t my cup of tea, but I had to try it once especially since the boss was footing the bill.”
    Wyatt had paid for Nellie’s trip? Why? Hannah couldn’t believe he’d done so out of the goodness of his black heart.
    â€œCome in, child. I made your favorite raspberry muffins. I’ll wrap some for you to take back with you. You need a man to help you remember to eat—a handsome rich one like the boss.”
    â€œDon’t play matchmaker, Nellie.” She couldn’t handle it—especially with the memory of that kiss cauterizing a hole in her brain.
    â€œWhy not? This is your home. You should be living here, not out in that old house filled with antiques. And it ain’t like he’s hard on the eyes.”
    Or the lips.
    â€œNot interested,” Hannah denied, averting her
