This was the closest sheâd been to him.
Close enough to feel the warmth of his body radiating in the space between them. Close enough to see the deep golden flecks in his brown eyes. âI havenât done anything yet,â she said.
âYouâre here. Right now, thatâs everything.â
Even though Jane was waking up and starting to fuss at still being swaddled in the blanket, Trish couldnât pull away from the way Nateâs eyes held hers.
âYou donât have to buy me a phone.â It came out as a whisper.
The corner of his mouth curved up and he suddenly looked very much like a man who would seduce his temporary nanny just because he could. âAnd yet, Iâm going to anyway.â
Trish swallowed down the tingling sensation in the back of her throat. This was Nate after a nap? What would he be like after a solid nightâs sleep?
And how the hell was she going to resist him?

The auditorium was filling up, which was exactly what Trish wanted. Maybe four hundred people had crowded into the lower level and, in addition to the journalists from the college paper, some reporters from the San Francisco television stations were in attendance. Excellent. A good crowd would leverage some social pressure on her target. No billionaire would risk looking heartless by saying no to a charity in front of a big crowd.
Trish had been sitting in her spotâend of the third row, to the left of the podium on the stageâfor over an hour. Sheâd gotten here early enough that no one had seen her smuggle in the check. She wished she could afford a cell phoneâthen she could at least play with that until the talk started instead of being the only person in the room who wasnât connected.
She was as ready as she was ever going to be. She just had to wait for her moment. Timing an ambush of one of the wealthiest men on the planet required precision.
Trish had planned everything down to her shirtâa great find at Goodwill. It was a distressed blue T-shirt with a vintage-looking Wonder Woman logo emblazoned over her breasts. It was a half size too small, but she had on her black velvet suit jacket, so it looked fine. Polished, with a geeky air.
Exactly like her target, Nate Longmire.
People continued to filter in for another thirty minutes. Everyone was here to see Longmire, the newest billionaire to come out of Silicon Valleyâs wealth generators. Trish had done her homework. Longmire was twenty-eight, which didnât exactly make him the âBoy Billionaireâ that the press made him out to be. As far as Trish could tell, there wasnât anything particularly boyish about him.
He was six foot two, broadly built and according to her internet searches, single. But the plan wasnât to hit on him. The plan was to make him feel like she was a kindred soul in all things nerdâand all things compassionate. The plan was to box him into a corner he could only donate himself out of.
Finally, the lights in the auditorium dimmed and the president of the Student Activities Board came out in a remarkably tight skirt. Trish snorted.
