СКАЧАТЬ about this as a done deal, she noticed, well aware that she was already thinking along similar lines. She was torn between annoyance at the smooth way he had manipulated her into doing his bidding, and the thrill of meeting his challenge.

      How had he managed it? He is the prince, she recalled the nurse at the infirmary saying, echoed later by one of his footmen. Was it really so simple? Were certain people gifted with skills and abilities beyond the ordinary, or was she in danger of becoming as much a victim of the royal mystique as her mother had been?

      The thought made her bristle. “How long is this cruise supposed to last?” she asked, more roughly than she’d intended.

      He didn’t seem to notice as he finished his dessert and folded his napkin. “I’ll be aboard for two nights. The inaugural cruise lasts for a week, so you can stay on as long as you wish.”

      She resisted the urge to gulp. Two nights aboard a cruise vessel with the prince was more than she had bargained for. She had already taken a dinner cruise on Merrisand’s Summer Harbor and knew how seductive the moonlight and the waves could be. Add Maxim to the mix…

      Stop it, she ordered herself. His proposal ensured that she would have plenty to keep her occupied while she was on board. In any case the prince would be occupied with his duties and the official guests such an occasion invariably involved. She would be lucky to see him for more than a few minutes each day. And that wouldn’t bother her.

      For some time now, rumors had floated around the network that her show might be replaced in the schedule next season. The cruise would provide her with the perfect opportunity to line up a blockbuster opening show to ensure that the series was renewed. In addition, Maxim had just handed her a plum assignment that most producers would give their eyeteeth to be offered. Nothing else mattered to her.

      She blotted her mouth with the snowy napkin, determined to ignore the riot of sensations pouring through her. This was business. Never mind that she would be cruising the blue waters around Merrisand with the most fascinating man she had met in a long time. Hadn’t she already learned the folly of such thinking?
