He hated feeling so powerfully attracted to her. It was incomprehensible. She was Earl’s daughter, a woman he barely knew, a wife who wouldn’t even share his bed. She’d slept with him once and then she’d left him, causing a pain too similar to what he’d felt after his father’s death. The tenderness he continued to feel for her put him on dangerous ground, but still she possessed him in a way no other woman ever had. It was the shark. Before they’d snorkeled, he’d been able to tell himself that he was under a temporary spell, that he could vanquish his burning need for her simply by staying out of her bed. But he’d been afraid for her when she’d been swimming for the boat, more afraid than he’d ever been in his life. Then he’d seen her bone-white face and the wild terror in her eyes when she’d imagined him in danger. Once he’d been safely on board, her slim face had become luminous with joy.
