She couldn’t believe how much she wanted Alex…
Everything from his voice to the crinkle of his eyes when he smiled hit Meg where it counted. Yeah, it probably didn’t help that she hadn’t had sex since the Ice Age.
Time. That’s all she needed. Time to feel as if the man sprawled on her bed was the same man she liked so much online.
Meg felt her cheeks fill with heat. She’d told him so much about herself. They hadn’t actually had sex, of course. But the man definitely had a starring role in all her sexual fantasies.
Which they’d discussed. In detail.
She knew Alex liked things intense. That he was a very oral kind of guy. And that he had a thing for white panties.
Should she just pounce on him? It wasn’t her style. Not that she had an actual style, but jumping him after an hour and a half together seemed…excessive. So how long was enough? Four hours? Five?
Of course, she’d known him a year online. More than enough time, Meg thought, grinning. She might not jump him in the next ten minutes, but it wouldn’t be long….
Dear Reader,
I don’t know about you, but when I daydream about a perfect setting for romance, there’s always a beach involved. Soft breezes, warm sand, puffy white clouds and a gorgeous man in a hammock. That’s where I lived while writing Meg and Alex’s story for 24 HOURS: ISLAND FLING. Okay, so it was all in my imagination but surely that counts.
I got the idea for Minute by Minute because so many of my girlfriends have been meeting men online. The conversations have been intimate, revealing, enticing and very, very safe until they decide to meet in person. That’s when things get…interesting.
Was he telling the truth? Will he be as funny? As kind? As sexy? Will it be as easy to talk when you’re lying together in that hammock? There are so many things that can go right or wrong and it all comes down to the first 24 hours! So get ready for a wild ride, and don’t forget your piña colada!
I hope you enjoy all the books in the 24 HOURS: ISLAND FLING miniseries. And don’t forget to check out my Web site at www.joleigh.com.
Cheers,

Prologue
[DCWatcher] First…don’t be mad, Meg.
[MtnVet] Don’t be mad?
[DCWatcher] Yeah.
[MtnVet] About?
[DCWatcher] You need to go to the door.
[MtnVet] My door?
[DCWatcher] Ha, yes. Your front door. I’ll wait.
[MtnVet] Be right back.
[MtnVet] Alex, what is this?
[DCWatcher] Tell me what you got.
[MtnVet] Flowers. Beautiful, I might add. And a pretty big envelope.
[DCWatcher] I’m glad you like the flowers.
[MtnVet] Calla lilies are my favorites. You knew that, didn’t you?
[DCWatcher] I try to pay attention, Meg. Now, open the envelope.
[MtnVet] Alex????
[DCWatcher] It’s the island, Meg. I couldn’t believe it when I found it. It’s everything we talked about. The thatched bungalows, the scuba diving, the hammock in the palm trees.
[MtnVet] We were drunk. It was New Year’s Eve.
[DCWatcher] I know. I was there.
[MtnVet] It was a fantasy, Alex.
[DCWatcher] But it doesn’t have to be. What’s it been, a year now that we’ve been meeting online like this?
