There you are—could I have a word?’ Sam jumped guiltily. She had been so engrossed in her own thoughts—thoughts which revolved totally around having a certain person on his knees, begging her forgiveness for misjudging her—that she hadn’t even heard Anne coming towards her until the other woman h...
Goosebumps rose on her skin as though it had been touched, caressed. Helplessly Charley closed her eyes.

The room which she occupied was what the estate agent had euphemistically described as ‘a guest suite’. Certainly her bedroom was large enough to house much more than the heavy Victorian furniture it did and it did have its own bathroom but after all that it fell rather short of the luxury conjur...
Her heart was pounding and her mouth felt dry. She had slept heavily but not refreshingly, almost as though she had been drugged, and as she lay in bed she was conscious of an unfamiliar reluctance to get up, almost a dread of doing so, as though by remaining where she was she could hold her appr...

‘Not doing, have already done,’ Georgia corrected her wryly. ‘I moved into Mrs Latham’s house yesterday afternoon.’ ‘So you’re living with Piers?

Matt black jersey draped her body from her throat to her knees, the dress’s long sleeves ending on her wrists.

‘Here is your key.’ His key? Julia stared at him. ‘You aren’t staying here?’ Silas was a ‘five-star hotel and nothing less’ man. No—correction. Silas was a ‘private villa and his own personal space’ man who, she was pretty sure, had never stayed at a three-star hotel in hi...
