EXCERPT:

A few minutes later, Ty emerged, joining her on the porch. “It’s safe.”

“Thanks.” She smiled up at him.

“You’re welcome.” He returned her smile, taking a step closer to her. His body was only a couple of inches from hers, and she could smell his regular scent of fresh country air and hay overlaid with a trace of spice.

“Thank you for dinner.” Her mind had gone blank except for those four words.

“Thank you.” He took another step toward her.

The soft fabric of her dress almost touched the woolen weave of his charcoal jacket. Her breathing shredded. Was he going to kiss her?

“I--” Whatever she’d been about to say next was lost as his lips closed over hers. His mouth was warm and gentle, and she relaxed as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Then his lips seared hers, searching and claiming, until she couldn’t think, only feel.

When Ty lifted his mouth from hers, she was dazed to find her hands clutching his shoulders. She couldn’t even remember lifting her arms and placing them there.

“I’ll call you,” he murmured, his lips swooping on hers for a heart-stopping second. “Tomorrow.”
