Paradise Found

His comment makes my heart flutter.

“Hi, I’m Ivy,” the gorgeous blonde says, introducing herself to me.

I reach out and shake her hand.

“Sorry. This is the love of my life, Ivy Starr. She is also the world’s best interior designer,” Alex states confidently as he wraps his arm around Ivy’s waist and pulls her to him, then places a kiss on her cheek, making her blush.

“Not going to deny it. I am one of the best,” Ivy relays while giving me a wink.I like her.“Alistair has hired me to bring your dream to a reality.”

He did what?I look up at him as my mouth falls open.

“I see he may have forgotten to tell you.” Ivy chuckles.

“He also forgot to mention he purchased this shop … I’m still trying to comprehend it all,” I tell them both.

Alistair walks over and reaches out for me, then pulls me into his side. “I’d do anything for the woman I love.”

Swoon. There goes my heart again.

“Aw, you big softie.” Ivy grins. “Well, I hope you don’t mind, but he also shared with me your Pinterest boards, and I’ve created some mock-ups for you to have a look at. Three months is going to be a tight timeframe, but Alistair has said to spare no expense on the project, so I’m confident we will get it done,” she explains to me.

“Ali!” I gasp.

“I want you to be in your shop doing what you love, sooner rather than later,” he says, looking down at me and giving me puppy dog eyes.

How can I be mad at this man?
