He turned and was about to send the reporter away for being so rude when his breath caught in his throat The woman before hi, blond hair that was the color of spun gold and blue eyes that reminded him of cut sapphires, she was barely five feet tall and curvier than he usually liked Yet, there was so about her that stirred hi eyes or the a that drew him most was the defiant jut of her chin, the way she see him to cross her It didn’t see before both a billionaire and royalty

“Just callout her recorder “I’ve given up on any pretense of formality”

He arched his eyebrow back at her, intrigued again by her flippancy After all, it was so rare for hi…for a time It was just that so few ever held his attention Even if she were just here on business, Miss Sinclair was off to a pro start
