the men released from a Siberian internment camp.”
“Kozak asked me to tell you his debt is paid in full.” Mila smiled at her father. “He saved our lives.”
“Then we are indeed even,” the old man said. He turned his attention to Duke, his expression suddenly serious. “I have already talked to Laramie, but I need to talk with you.”
Duke shifted in his seat, straightening his shoulders. “Yes, sir. What can I do for you?”
Yure took a moment, as though carefully collecting his thoughts.
“As Major Mazure is no longer available and may very well end up in a Ukrainian jail if he survives, I am in need of a new head of security. I hope you will consider the job.”
The unexpected offer rocked Duke in his seat.
“Me?”
“Yes.” The old man leaned forward, hands clasped in his lap. “I need someone who has considerable experience safeguarding people. A person who can find good men to join my security detail, train them, and lead them. Someone in whose competent hands I can place my personal safety, as well as my daughter’s. I have no doubt that you are that person.”
Mila turned away from her father and looked at Duke. She placed her hand over his.
He started to ask Yure why he wasn’t asking Laramie, but deep down he already knew the answer. The old man was a smart diplomat.
Duke held Mila’s gaze. “Darlin’, do you have any thoughts about this offer? It would mean I’d be around for a good long while.”
A bright smile spread across her beautiful face, causing her freckled cheeks to rise nearly to her sparkling eyes.
“I love the idea.” She leaned closer and kissed him. “And I—”she started and paused. Her eyes searched his. The sweet pink he loved so much stained her cheek. “And I love you.”
Oh, yes. Damn if it wasn’t one of the best days he’d had in a long while.
