Andrew started to say so, but Caroline beat him to it

“Roh, especially if they’re genuine”

Andrew pointed at her with the pen “You’re being politically correct, aren’t you? Modern women can’t admit that they want a caveman, in and out of the bedroom”

“No I’ to remind you that these books are fiction” She walked to the shelf behind her “This one is all about a hero who turns into a olf Does that mean all women want a olf for a husband?”

“Is he alpha? Into kinky sex? Does he tell her how much he loves her to the point where you want to vomit?”

Caroline couldn’t argue with that The hero in the book did do those things

“See?” Andrew fist-puht I know exactly what to do to win Helen back Now if you’ll excuse ow and buy a new suit And soear” He stopped in front of Caroline “Do you knohere to buy that stuff? It’s been a while since I’ve been to Glasgow”

“No! I don’t knohere the sex shops are” She gave Josh a “please help me” look He held up his hands “Listen, Andrew, you don’t need to dress in a suit, or t-t-tie Helen up”—she flushed as she stuttered over the words—“to win her back You only need to spend tiether, talk to her, have fun It’s that simple That’s omen want They want attention They want to feel important to their husbands They want to feel attractive and sexy They want to feel loved You don’t need the other stuff”

Andrew snorted “No offence, pet, but I’d rather take the advice of a bunch of freaky books than listen to a woet married”

Josh shot to his feet “Apologise now We talked about how you treat my fiancée This isn’t it”

Caroline found it hard to look anywhere but the carpet He was right She didn’t know anything about et a chance at e She was the last person he should listen to She was pathetic

A hand rested on her shoulder She expected Josh, but looked up to find his father staring at her It took a minute to realise there was compassion in his eyes

“I aree with this arranged wedding, but I’ve learned soood wo the love of his life, but I don’t think for a minute that you won’t do your best by him” Caroline felt tears prick her eyes Andrew cleared his throat, obviously e to Glasgow See you in a couple of days Try to stop your one”

With that, he picked up his bag and strode out of the room

They listened to the door bang shut
