One Heart to Give (Heart's Intent Book 1) by Dawn Brower Page A

find a way. She always managed to. It was a matter of knowing the right people.
    “You better. Don’t call me until you have good news.”
    A dial tone filled her ear. She breathed a sigh of relief the call was over. If she’d stayed on the phone with him even a moment longer she may have said something she’d come to regret. Mr. Nettles was a jerk. Dani hated dealing with him.
    She picked up the phone again and dialed Claire’s line.
    “Yes, Ms. Brosen?” Claire’s voice filled her ears.
    “Come to my office please. Bring the Nettles file.”
    “Give me a moment and I’ll be right there.”
    Dani set the phone down and waited for Claire to arrive. She had a special job for her assistant. Maybe even Amy could help with it. The best assistants knew their bosses’ schedules. She needed as much information she could get on both Mr. Nettles and this Sullivan Brady. He was an unknown element. Mr. Nettles, she at least had something to go on. Almost everyone knew how difficult he was.
    “I have the file. What do you need me to do?” Claire asked as she bustled into the room.
    “Have a seat. There are several things I need you to work on.”
    Claire sat down. Dani filled her in on the details of her phone call with Mr. Nettles.
    “Did you say Sullivan Brady?”
    Dani frowned. “Yes, are you familiar with him?”
    How could her assistant know who he was and she didn’t? What was she missing?
    “The question is how could you not know who he is? He’s a billionaire, drop dead gorgeous, and his pretty face graces the society pages on a regular basis.”
    Well, that explained it. She couldn’t be bothered with high society. They were all a bunch of hypocritical snobs in her opinion. There were more important things to do than show up to charity events and be seen by the world. That’s why most of them went. They only wanted to show their money off to the world. “Look at all these good deeds I’m participating in.”
    “A billionaire you said. What does he do?” That was information she could use. “Is he a businessman of some sort?”
    “His family is old money. They own Brady-Blue International.”
    Dani had heard of that particular company. She’d hadn’t made the connection. Brady was a rather common name. How was she to know he was part of the famous family chock full of philanthropists and do-gooders?
    “Hmm.” She glanced up at Claire. “How do you feel about digging up some details on Mr. Brady?”
    Claire grinned. “Please tell me you want me to go out on a date with him.” She fanned herself. “That man has pure sin pouring off his face. I bet he’s amazing in bed.”
    Dani’s mouth dropped open. “I thought you were in love with Matt!”
    “Oh, I am, but Sullivan Brady’s so pretty. A girl can have a crush can’t she?” She sighed. “I wouldn’t mind having him for one night. You know, to remember when I’m old and gray.”
    Dani shook her head and smiled. There was only one man she’d had such a crush on. She could relate on a small level. “I don’t know what he looks like, so I don’t know if I agree with your assessment.”
    Claire studied Dani. She tilted her head and frowned. “Actually, you kind of look similar to him.” She held up a hand. “I’m not saying you look masculine. But you have similar coloring. His hair is almost the exact shade as yours, pitch black and slightly curly. It’s the eyes though that are the most comparable. I’ve never seen a shade of green so eerily alike. It’s too bad you’re not part of that family. They’re so rich they probably don’t know what to do with all that money.”
    Dani frowned. Claire didn’t know she was an orphan. Well, she liked to think herself as one. She didn’t know who her biological parents were. She’d been dropped off at a church on the other side of the state. It was as far away from Envill as possible. It was a nice thought, but she wasn’t related to anyone in the Brady family. She didn’t belong
