Eden.”
    Without hesitation Nash handed over the phone. “Here, baby, Gray wants to talk to you.”
    A few seconds later, Eden got on, sounding completely out of breath. “Hello?”
    “Sorry to bother you, Eden, but Madison mentioned that you were thinking about cutting your honeymoon short so you could come back and talk Chloe out of leaving, and I wanted to let you know that there’s no need to worry. Chloe isn’t going anywhere until you get back.”
    “She’s not? How did you change her mind?”
    Grayson could’ve lied, but he didn’t want Eden getting her hopes up that Chloe was going to stay in San Francisco. “I kidnapped her.”
    There was a pause. “I’m sorry, Gray, but I must have a bad connection because it sounded like you said that you kidnapped her.”
    “That’s exactly what I said. It was the only way I could figure out how to keep her here until you got back from your honeymoon.”
    The next pause was quickly followed by shouted words that made his ears ring. “I love you, Grayson Beaumont! And if I was there right now, I would give you a big kiss—”
    Suddenly Nash was back on the phone. “What the hell, Gray? Are you trying to seduce my woman?”
    Before he could answer, Eden must’ve grabbed the phone. “Don’t pay him any attention, Grayson. I’ll explain everything later. Just keep Chloe there until I get home and can talk her into staying.”
    “Are you sure that’s smart? She hasn’t exactly been the best of friends.”
    “Chloe’s a good person. She just hides all her goodness behind a tough exterior. But now that I have more time, I’m going to get her to drop the tough act and let people love her. Thank you so much, Gray. You just gave me the best honeymoon present ever.”
    “Excuse me.” Nash’s voice came through the speaker. “I’ll show you the best honeymoon present ever.” Eden squealed, and it sounded like the phone was dropped. Figuring that the call was over, Grayson hung up, satisfied that he had saved his brother’s honeymoon.
    Unfortunately, the rest of his morning didn’t go as well. The photographer for the catalog was not happy when Grayson told him that he wanted edgier photographs for the Romeo Collection. In fact Miles was so pissed that Grayson would question his “creative eye” that he stormed out of the office. Which wasn’t good when they had only a few weeks before the catalog needed to be out. And to top that off, the interview was a complete disaster. Not because Grayson flubbed any of the questions about his near arrest—he seemed to do okay answering those. No, the problem came when Natalia couldn’t seem to keep her hands to herself.
    While Madison sat next to him and answered any questions the interviewer tossed her way, Natalia wrapped herself around Grayson like a cat around a scratching post and seemed unable to answer one question without including him.
    “Oh, I love everything French Kiss gives me to wear.” She smiled seductively at Grayson. “But especially Gar-a-son’s.”
    “Yes, I get a little nervous on the runway, but not if I’m with Gar-a-son.”
    “Am I dating Gar-a-son?” She smiled slyly. “I never kiss and tell.”
    By the time the interview was over, Grayson was so sick of his own name he wanted to change it. Instead he smiled politely until the ET crew had left the design studio, then he very calmly informed Natalia that they weren’t dating, because he couldn’t date a French Kiss employee. It wasn’t exactly the truth. French Kiss didn’t have an official interoffice dating policy—more than likely because Deacon couldn’t have a rule he hadn’t followed. After they inherited French Kiss, he’d promptly fallen in love with the CEO. Unfortunately, Natalia didn’t take the news well. She burst into tears and raced from the design studio.
    “I wouldn’t worry about it,” Madison said after Natalia was gone. “She’s always been overly dramatic. Although I would worry about Miles. From
