Book Excerpt One:

â€œWhoa there, sweetheart, before you hurt yourself.â€ Strong hands gripped her upper arms, keeping her upright. Without his help she wouldâ€™ve bounced back and off the wooden walkway.
â€œLet go of me,â€ she snapped and tried to pull away, but his grip held.
â€œWell, I can do that but not until you apologize for almost running me down,â€ Connor replied. Heâ€™d recognized her in an instant with her red hair and violet blue eyes.
â€œApologize? Are you daft? Youâ€™re the one who ran into me,â€ she stormed, twisting her body from one side to the other, trying to free herself.
â€œIs that so?â€ His deep, soft voice floated over her just as it had in her dreams of him last night. He stared at her another moment then loosened his hold and stepped back.

Book Excerpt Two:

Connor followed her up the narrow steps to her place, carrying her small bag, and set it down on the floor inside.
â€œYou going to be okay here tonight?â€
She slipped off her coat and hung it on a nearby hook. Grace wanted to be alone but didnâ€™t want him to leave. Her heart told her to walk up to him, lace her arms around his neck, and ask him to stay. She shouldnâ€™t. She was still married and it would be wrong, even if her marriage was a mockery. She planned to obtain a divorce, which was simple to do in Utah. The laws were lenient and divorce common with people coming from other states to take advantage of the quick dissolution procedures. She simply hadnâ€™t had time to do it with work and planning how she was going to free Meggie.
Grace walked to a window and stared at the dark sky, deciding what to do. She needed to tell him about Moser but the words wouldnâ€™t form. Say something tonight, or let him leaveâ€”she was conflicted. She continued to look out when she sensed him walk up behind her, felt his strong arms wrap around her waist, and draw her flush against his chest.
He pulled loose strands of hair away from her neck, bending to place kisses up to the tender spot behind her ear. â€œAsk me to stay,â€ he whispered before tugging a sensitive earlobe with his lips. She sagged against him, letting her head fall back against his chest and giving him access to the soft column of her neck.
