hestepped out, he grinned at the name emblazoned over the entry door. The Lune del’amour Restaurant. Moon of love. How fitting. Max opened the door and steppedinside, immediately directed to a private room where a small crowd had alreadygathered.
Now this place had romance. From the elegant table settings, to the artwork,potted palms and floor to ceiling arched windows, Lune de l’amour spoke ofelegance and everything that was sensual. Soft lighting cast the room in an amberglow, and live music played in the background. Subtle, but enough to spark hissenses and make him wish he and Shannon were going to be here alone tonight.
Ah well, he’d have his chance.
Logan and Aidan were already there, dressed in tuxes, too. They motioned himover and handed him a glass of champagne.
“I hate these kinds of events,” Logan mumbled, adjusting his bow-tie. “An evil
necessity, but I don’t have to like them.”
Aidan shrugged. “I just show up, smile, and talk my head off to anyone who willlisten.”
Logan rolled his eyes. “You’re in marketing. That’s what you do. At least youhave a gorgeous woman on your arm to distract you,” he added, inclining his headtoward the other end of the room.
Max’s eyes widened at Melissa’s short, red cocktail dress. Couldn’t be describedas too much, yet it hugged her curves nicely. Max looked to Aidan and said, “You’re a very lucky man.”
Aidan grinned and winked at his fiancée. “Don’t I know it.” Turning to Logan, hesaid, “If you’re lonely for a woman, I could let Mom know when she and Dadshow up tonight. I’m sure she’d have a girl for you before the end of the night.”
Logan groaned. “I don’t need that kind of help. I can get my own woman,thanks.”
“Yeah, we all know what kind of women you choose. For someone who takes
risks in business, you sure play it safe with women, Logan.”
Logan shot a glare at Aidan. “You know why. Let’s not talk about this.”
Max felt the undercurrents of tension between Aidan and Logan. Logan washolding back…in many areas, the most prominent being the magical powers hepossessed. But why? Why wouldn’t he embrace them?
“Hey you guys. If you were going to start matchmaking, you should have called
me over sooner.”
Max turned and smiled at Kaitlyn, looking gorgeous in a long blue dress thatshowed off voluptuous curves. “Evening. You look beautiful.”
She grinned. “Thanks. And busy, too. So what are we talking about?”
“Finding a wife for Logan,” Aidan replied.
“Asshole,” Logan muttered.
Kaitlyn’s eyes widened and a grin curved her generous lips upward. “Oooh nowthere’s a subject I like! If only we could figure out what type of woman Loganliked, then maybe we could find him one.”
“I don’t like any type of woman.”
Kaitlyn arched a brow, and Logan rolled his eyes. “You know what I meant,dammit! I’m too busy right now.”
“Famous last words. You’re lucky I’m busy with this event tonight, or I’d be
finding suitable female company for you.”
“Then thank God you’re busy.”
Kaitlyn giggled, kissed Logan on the cheek and waved as she scurried off. Shegave off energy vibes like nothing Max had ever experienced. The woman was adynamo. And yet he sensed underneath that busy exterior lurked a very patient,very warm woman who just needed a man to help settle her down.
Great. Now he was matchmaking! Turning his attention back to Logan, he said, “Itake it your mother and sisters want you to find a mate.”
“It’s a never ending parade of contestants,” Logan said with a sigh.
“You are getting up there in years.” Aidan stabbed Logan’s ribs with his elbow.
Ignoring Aidan, Logan grabbed another glass of champagne and downed it in onegulp. Then he turned to Max. “Shannon called me late this afternoon. Said yourideas for national and international exposure are phenomenal.”
Max was surprised she’d even mention it, as
