grandson.”
    Cam nodded over at him. “You’re already taking steps to make this happen. Keep us updated on your progress.”
    “I will. How’s everything else going at the club? Do you need anything from me?” Justin asked.
    “Just get the approvals for that ground-breaking taken care of, we can handle the rest,” Nate said.
    “I will. I’m going to take a few days for a staycation,” Justin said.
    “What? You can’t take any time off,” Cam said. “Not now.”
    “I guess I’m explaining this wrong. I’ll be working every day but at night I’m going to be staying at the Ritz,” Justin said.
    “Why?” Nate asked. “I mean the Ritz is nice but why not stay at your home?”
    There was no way he was going to tell his brothers that this move involved a woman. “I just haven’t had a break lately and staying at the Ritz will give me one.”
    “As long as you are still working, it doesn’t matter to me,” Cam said.
    “I might have you check in on some friends who are staying down there,” Nate said.
    “I don’t want to have to check in on your celebs.”
    Nate ran with the celebrity crowd—all friends he’d made back when he’d been a major league baseball player. And Nate still used these connections for the club, even though he was recently engaged to Jen Miller, a dance instructor at Luna Azul. They were a cute coupleand very happy together. Justin was surprised that his playboy brother had fallen for the pretty dancer and her quiet lifestyle.
    While Justin was glad his younger brother had kept in contact with the glitter set, the last thing he wanted was to have to socialize with them.
    For the most part he had nothing in common with people who traded on their looks or talent to get by in the world. He’d always used hard work and determination.
    “Fine. We can have drinks tomorrow night when I’m down there.”
    “Why do we have to?” Justin asked just to needle his brother.
    “Because you are making me drive down there. And you’re buying!” Nate said as his cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and then excused himself.
    Warm breezes blew across the rooftop patio. “I like this place,” Justin said.
    Cam arched one eyebrow at him. “I’m glad to hear it, considering you helped me build it.”
    Justin nodded. “I know. I wonder how different it could have been if we had real community support?”
    Cam took a sip of his whiskey and then rubbed the back of his neck. “In the early days it would have made a big difference. I hate to think of what it was like before Nate got injured and came home…do you remember that first summer when he just sat in the back of the club and his baseball playing friends visited?”
    “Yes. You wanted to turn the club that we’d invested every last penny in, into a sports bar.”
    “Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time,” Cam said.
    “It was a good idea, I’m just glad we didn’t have to doit. By the way, Selena suggested calling the marketplace the Mercado. I like it.”
    “Yes, I like it, too. Who is Selena?”
    Justin took a deep breath. It didn’t matter that he and Cam held equal positions of authority in the company; Cam was always going to be Justin’s big brother. “She’s the lawyer the Gonzalezes hired. She’s also their granddaughter.”
    “Pretty?”
    “Breathtakingly beautiful,” Justin admitted.
    “Can you still be objective? If not, we can use one of your junior managers to take the lead on this.”
    “No,” Justin said. “I’ve got this under control.”
    “Is she staying at the Ritz?”
    Justin just nodded.
    “I’m not sure how under control you have this,” Cam said.
    “I’m not going to let you down or do anything to hurt the Luna Azul.”
    “I know that,” Cam said. “What about yourself? Are you going to do anything to harm you? ”
    Justin finished his drink with a long, hard swallow and then got to his feet. “I’m the Tin Man, Cam. No heart. So nothing to be hurt by
