While he drove, he thought about Sierra Benson.
Blake had been startled by their chemistry. He had overreacted by offering so much money, but when had a woman ever set his pulse pounding by merely saying hello?
Her stay at his ranch should be interesting. Maybe their attraction was something that only happened at a first meeting and wouldn’t happen again. But with the smoldering chemistry between them, he couldn’t keep from dreaming of seduction.
Dream on, he thought.
She was wrapped up in saving the world. She looked at everything through rose-colored glasses and saw everyone as filled with a basic goodness—which was not reality. This was a lesson he had learned early in life. Eventually, Sierra would learn that not everyone could be saved and all her sweet talk would be a memory. That was human nature.
No, she was not his type in any way—except for that hot, intense, mutual attraction. A scalding attraction he intended to pursue in spite of their differences.

Eagerness gripped Sierra Benson as the time arrived for her appointment with Blake Callahan.
She had done interior design for him, but that had been nearly two years ago and she’d never actually met him. Since she’d finished that job, and received a personal note of thanks from him, she’d changed careers. She was now director of Brigmore Charities of Kansas City, Kansas.
She hoped he’d asked to meet with her to make a contribution.
She’d read enough about him to know he was thirty-four, six years older than she was, a Texas multimillionaire, a hotel mogul and a rancher with interests in commercial real estate. Excitement bubbled in her to think their nonprofit might be getting a sizable donation.
Breaking into her thoughts, her assistant, Nan Waverley, announced her visitor’s arrival.
“Send him in, please,” Sierra said, as she stood and gave a pat to her light brown hair, pinned at the back of her head. She smoothed her straight brown skirt and looked up as Nan opened her office door.
“Thank you, Nan,” she said—or that’s what she hoped she said, anyway. Coming face to face with Blake momentarily took her breath.
