“What don’t you need?” Olivia had sharper hearing than a rabbit avoiding a bloodhound and was over at Cara’s desk before she’d finished her exhale.
Cara flicked through her email and found something to distract Olivia from her thoughts of imminent doom. “The dove guy in Florida says his doves have come down with some sort of bird flu. We’re going to need to source more birds for the petting zoo in the Cupid Grove down there and we’re going to need to do it fast. You know how hard it was finding someone who the Vegan society would give a tick to last time.”
“I’m on it,” Olivia said and raced back to her desk. “Can’t have Valentine’s without doves and chocolate right?” Olivia seemed to only have two speeds, turbo and off, but at the moment, that was exactly what Cara needed. She’d set up Cupid Groves with animals and candy and general romantic gestures in all the major centers around the country. She was sure it was the right approach and Mr Tsiolkas had been all for it. It reinforced their cruelty free status and brought home the love for all message they’d worked hard on. But it was pretty out of the box for a condom brand and if Joe Diaz decided to get involved… No, she reassured herself. She was good at her job and if anyone decided to query her, she was ready. Mex Industries might have taken over, but Joe Diaz wasn’t about to take her down, not without a fight. Not this time.

About Michele De Winton
Michele loves sunshine, chardonnay, (preferably together), chocolate, beaches, trees, great vegetarian food, steamy writing and happy endings. She’s been known to be an all-round arty type, dancing and producing theatre around the globe, so it's no wonder that her first romance had a little sparkle of the stage tucked into its pages.
Being a writer was not was she was supposed to be when she ‘grew up' but then neither was being a dancer. Her poor parents. They thought that when she toddled off to law school they'd bred a responsible, useful adult and instead they got a performer and word junkie. Sometimes her performing past jumps into the dress up box and requires attention. But most of the time she’s content to stay in her PJs. All day. She writes surrounded by the whisper of trees from her home in New Zealand and with only intermittent interruptions from her two young sons and husband. (Okay more like regular interruptions, but dreaming is free.)
