The Wrong Woman

Chapter 84

Suzanne shook her head, then nodded. She wasn’t completely

Nathan looked at her hands and frowned helplessly. “You’re planning to try with those injured hands of yours?”

Suzanne grinned awkwardly and mumbled, “Or, you know, I’d happily take two assistants if you can spare them.”
