Simon placed his sweaty paw on Fabia’s thigh and offered her a lecherous smile. “Let’s see if you’re as nimble on the dance floor as you are on the tennis court.” Fabia moved her legs so that he was forced to drop his hand and flashed a noncommittal smile. “I’m not much of...
Jay turned the note over in his hand but found nothing to help identify the vandal on its other side. Stranger things had been known to happen, but no such luck on this occasion. He thought about calling Luke in and as quickly dismissed the idea. He obviously hadn’t been disturbed by the noise&md...
Much as they would have liked to stay and tuck her in, they headed for their own room instead, but sleep was the last thing on their minds. “Of all the lousy timing,” Tyrone complained. “We’ve waited all this time for our mate to come along. Now that she has, neither of us...
“I don’t believe it,” she said softly, standing to pace the room, too agitated to remain in one place. “There are many things about him that repel me, but I would have sworn he was completely loyal to Sal.” “Don’t let it get to you, babe.” Troy stood up, cut her off midpac...

“Princess Layla held my hand, Mommy,” Amy said, beaming with pride, her eyes as wide as saucers. “She said I was brave and a cute kid, but I told her I’m not a kid because I’m almost six.” Layla smiled. “That’s great, honey.” “Layla’s your name, Mommy, so you must be a princess, too.” Yeah, and I...
The expression on the other woman’s face chilled her to the bone, and an involuntary gasp escaped her lips. “You know, don’t you,” Lana said in a lifeless tone. “That’s why you’re really here.” “Know what?” Paige lifted her shoulders. “What are you ...
Zac said after they’d travelled some miles in silence. “I appreciate the support, both of you.” “No problem,” Cody said from behind the wheel. Justine said nothing, and Zac was wise enough not to push her. A couple of hours a...
