Enjoy this sneak peek of the next book in the Desert Secrets Series!
Lisa knocked softly on the door. A grumbled, “Come in,” greeted her. She wiped her sweaty palm on her slacks. She was going to be in a room with a man alone. She hadn’t been with any man since Lance divorced her and before then had been rare. She’d barely had time with her husband. Would she even remember how to be alone with one?

She
really didn’t have a choice now so she pushed the door open. Her gaze swept the
room. Seth’s satchel he always seemed to have was open on the round table. A discarded gum pack and its wrappers were on
the nightstand next to the lamp.
The
bathroom door opened far enough for Seth to stick his head through. His hair
was wet from his shower. “Can you do me a favor?”
“Sure.”
Heat rushed to her cheeks. She shouldn’t be in here with him while he was
naked. She nervously sat down in the chair by the table.
Pointing
at some folded pants on the bed, he said, “Hand me those pants right there?”
No!
She didn’t want to go any closer than this. She grabbed the pants from the bed
and walked toward him. The closer she got, the more detail she noticed about
him. The water dripped from his wet brown hair and made trails down his toned
chest. Small freckles dotted both his cheeks and pecks. When had she been this
attracted to a man? Not knowing the answer, she slightly shook her head. This
guy smacked his gum and had intruded in her business more than once. She
shouldn’t be attracted to him, be in his hotel room, or staring at his visible
nakedness.
“Here,”
she said softly, holding the pants out for him to take.
He
chuckled. “Thanks.”
She
whirled around so he couldn’t see her heated cheeks. Had he been laughing at
her? Next time, she’d call first so she
could wait for him in the car. She had no business in the room with him.

Poor gal. I can feel her discomfort. Part of me wonders if it's because of her own desire for him?

I can see this as a movie with a ingenue of the moment and Ryan Reynolds. Yes, Ryan Reynolds. I can see it!
