Crazy Love (Emerald Lake Billionaires 3)
can make an online dating app work, it’s you.”
    “Tell that to my competitors. If I don’t get Crazy Love on the market soon, someone else will be playing Cupid.”
    Daniel pulled his seatbelt on. “It’s not going to happen on my watch. I’ll see you in an hour.” He left his phone on the passenger seat and started his truck. Between Blake and Holly, Daniel was sure he could iron out any bugs in the program. He just needed to do it quickly and carefully. Otherwise, he had more than his own plans at stake.
    Holly had already been let down by someone she trusted. He didn’t want to be the next person who broke her heart.

    The next day, Holly rushed into Nick’s warehouse half an hour before Tommy’s family were due to arrive. They’d been looking forward to their pre-auction tour ever since Mia had talked to them about it.
    “You make my head spin,” Nick said from the other end of the room. “The world will not end if you are a little late.”
    Holly took off her jacket. “I promised Mia I’d be here fifteen minutes ago. Has Kate delivered the platters of food we ordered?”
    “Kate arrived twenty minutes ago. Emily will be here soon with two clothes racks for our guests’ coats. Come with me.” Nick left her jacket on the back of a chair and led her across the room.
    Holly stared at the transformed area in front of her. They’d all thought long and hard about the layout of the warehouse for the auction. Turning the old brick building into a warm and welcoming exhibition space hadn’t been easy. Luckily, Nick had ideas about what he’d like to do with the warehouse going forward. The temporary walls and additional lighting they’d designed would be used for future exhibitions.
    Nothing could have prepared Holly for what she saw. Hannah and Claire had been put in charge of decorating the warehouse. They’d strung twinkling fairy lights through the rafters. The walls had been lined with yards of fabric in the softest shade of lemon she’d ever seen. A row of delicate chandeliers glowed under the lighting track that Nick had installed last week.
    Holly touched the edge of one of the curtains. “This is beautiful. Where did Hannah and Claire find everything?”
    Nick shrugged. “They have developed some valuable contacts. Creating a little magic wherever they go has become their trademark. Hannah said to tell you they will be back soon. Mia won’t be far behind them.”
    Three large tables held white platters filled with dipping sauces, bread, fresh fruit and all kinds of delicious looking finger food.
    Holly glanced at a fourth table that held fruit juice, wine, and beer. “I think there’s been a mistake. We didn’t order all of this. Kate must have mixed up our order up with someone else’s.”
    “It is her way of helping Tommy’s family,” Nick said with an encouraging smile. “Let her help, my dear. She wants to feel part of what you girls have done.”
    “I just hope we raise enough money to help Tommy’s family.”
    “I have no doubt that we will see a little miracle in our warehouse tonight.”
    “Have you done something we don’t know about?”
    “Who me? I am a simple Greek man who enjoys art.”
    The door of the warehouse slid open. “Is anyone here?” Mia’s voice echoed across the wooden floor.
    “We’re over here, my darling. Come and reassure Holly that tonight will be a success.”
    “Of course, it will be,” Mia said as she walked toward them. “It’s going to be a great night.”
    Holly’s eyes widened. “Wow. Look at you.”
    Mia spun in a circle. The skirt of her red-sequined dress spun away from her legs, sparkling under the overhead lights. “I thought I’d make an effort to look like a professional artist.”
    “You don’t need to make an effort,” Holly said. “You’re already a professional artist.” She glanced at Nick. “Are you sure there’s nothing you want to tell me? Mia doesn’t wear a dress and high heels very
