      ‘Can you hear me, mademoiselle?’

      ‘Her name is Gigi.’ The curly-haired brunette crouched down opposite him and supplied the name helpfully.

      He was in Montmartre, in a shabby, past-its-use-by-date cabaret, with a cast of showgirls whose home cities ranged from Sydney to Helsinki to London—hardly any of them were actually French. Of course her name was Gigi.

      He didn’t believe it for a second.

      As if sensing his scepticism, she swept up her thick golden lashes with astonishing effect. A pair of blue eyes full of lively intelligence above angular cheekbones met his. Grew round, startled, and bluer than blue.

       The colour of the water in the Pechora Sea.

      He should know—he’d just flown in from it.

      She sat up on her elbows and fixed him with those blue eyes.

      ‘Qui êtes-vous? Who are you?’

      His question exactly.

      He straightened up to assert a little dominance over her and settled his hands lightly on his lean muscled hips.

      ‘Khaled Kitaev,’ he said simply.

      There was a ripple of reaction. But he didn’t take his eyes off Gigi as he calmly offered her his hand, and when she hesitated he leaned in and took what he wanted.

      LUCY ELLIS creates over-the-top couples who spar and canoodle in glamorous places. If it doesn’t read like a cross between a dozen old fairytales you half know and a 1930s romantic comedy, it’s not a Lucy Ellis story. Come and read a rambling exposition on her books at lucy-ellis.com and drop her a line.

      ‘GIGI, GET DOWN from there. You’re going to break your neck!’

      Suspended two metres in the air, gripping the stage curtain between the tensed toes of her feet and using her slender muscled arms to propel herself upwards, Gigi ignored the commentary and made quick work of scaling the curtains alongside the four-metre-high fish tank. It was the same tank in which she would be swimming tonight, in nothing more than a G-string and a smile, with two soporific pythons: Jack and Edna. That was if she didn’t get fired first.
