“What do you really want from me, Melodie?” Roman asked in his deadliest tone, willing her to come clean.
“Just…um… Honestly?” She blinked up at him, practically virginal, with her gaze damp and defenceless, her mouth working to find words. “For you to kiss me again,” she said, her voice a thin husk. “To see if…” She licked her lips, leaving an expectant silence.
“Come and get it, then, ” he said gruffly, trying to scoff, telling himself he was only seeing the extent she’d go to in this industrial espionage of hers, letting her demean herself when he had every intention of rejecting her.
But it didn’t happen that way.
She absorbed his command with a small flinch, then lifted her chin as though gathering her courage. As she stepped up to him her hands opened on his ribcage in a feathery tickle that made his entire body jerk in reaction. She was tall enough that when she lifted onto her tiptoes her mouth reached his.
She pressed pillowy lips to his. He told himself to shove her back and tell her—
The rocking of her mouth beneath his parted his lips. He closed his arms around her, pulled her into him with a strength he barely remembered to temper, and slanted his mouth to take full possession of hers.
She opened to him, arched and pressed into him and moaned capitulation.
Rational thought evaporated in a groan of craving.

In my heart, my books are always dedicated to my husband and kids, my sisters and my parents. They’ve always been incredibly supportive, both emotionally and physically, by doing dishes and making meals so I could write.
When it comes to writing dedications, however, I often look to my editors. Writing is a lonely business. I’m a big enough control freak that I don’t ask other writers to look at my work and weigh in. It’s all on me until I hit “Send.” Then I rely on my editor to ensure I’m not embarrassing myself.
Kathryn Cheshire is my latest wing-woman in the Harlequin Mills & Boon offices. This is our first book together and she’s everything an author wants and needs: warm, insightful and encouraging.
I couldn’t do this without my family or you, Dear Reader, but a great editor is the linchpin in the whole operation. Thanks for being awesome, Kathryn.
