Dodging Temptation (The Retreat) - Plot & Excerpts
The mile-high stacks of cowboy diaries were gone from her desk and stored once again on the custom-built shelves lining the private library on The Retreat’s top floor. Her evaluations were complete, and dollar values had been assigned to each diary in May Loving’s unique collection. The only thing standing between her and the end of this job was the simple and quick task of finalizing the certificates of authenticity—well, that and the man standing in the library’s open door. Keeping her head down, she peeked up at him through her lashes. Dodge rested one shoulder against the doorframe, a one-sided curl to his lips, as he watched her. He’d been there for nearly ten minutes. Not talking. Not coming in. Not going out. Just watching, seeing how long it would take before she’d push away her paperwork and beg him to come in and lock the door behind him. It hadn’t happened enough to be a routine but, over the past six days, the library had seen enough action to make her life feel like it would fit right in with the Wild West shenanigans the cowboys had written about in their diaries.
