Page 119 of Return of the Bad Girl (Rock Canyon, Idaho 4)

One corner of his masculine lips slowly curved into a smile. “Guess that’s just me being presumptuous again.”

Everything female in Faith’s body awakened from the death sleep she’d put it in after she’d discovered the man she’d been just weeks away from marrying, hadn’t been the man she’d thought him to be at all.

“Looks like we’re both a little too trigger-happy in the jumping-the-gun department,” she said, while deftly extricating herself from his grasp even as her body begged her to stay put.

“Maybe.”

Backing away, she figured she’d tempted herself enough for one night. Best they get dinner over with before she made some grievous error in judgment she’d never allow herself to forget.

She clapped her hands together. “So . . . how about we get to that dinner?”

“Sounds great.” His gaze wandered all over her face and body. “I’m getting hungrier by the second.”

Whoo boy.
