“I love you, too, Trent.”

He blew out a relieved breath and crushed her in his arms at the same time. Her feet lef

t the ground as he spun them in a circle.

“It’s about time. I was beginning to think you were just after my body.”

She rolled her eyes through a burst of laughter, hugging him tight. He came to a stop, letting her slide down along his body until her toes touched the sidewalk again. Desire sparked along every inch they touched. One glance up and their eyes locked. The fire in his gaze turned the spark into an all out sizzle. His gaze shifted, then returned.

“We seem to have developed an audience,” he murmured. “Either you get into my car, or I’m going to have to kidnap you again. But this time, I’m not letting you go.”

A one-eighty turned him into a shield between her and a handful of gawking co-workers. She ran her hands down his chest to slide her fingers along the inside waistband of his jeans. His stomach muscles quivered against her knuckles as she raised her eyebrows.

“Is there room for me and your…ego?”

With a low growl, he scooped her up into his arms. “I’ll make room. Always and forever.”

That promise made, he deposited her in the passenger seat of the convertible. Grinning, Halli watched him hood-slide across the passenger’s front corner before he rounded the car and vaulted behind the wheel. The man had flair, that’s for damn sure.

The engine roared to life as she handed him the sunglasses she’d dug out from under her butt. “Where are we going?”

“We were supposed to meet Rachel and Ben for dinner, but after that last move, I guarantee you, we’re going to be late.” He cast her a quick glance, fired by a sexy, wicked gleam. “You okay with that change in plans?”

Delicious heat rose in her cheeks and spread through her body. “Are we talking about sex?”

“After the dreams I’ve endured the past two weeks, damn straight we’re talking about sex.”

“Mmm.” She leaned her head against the seat, smiling as the warmth of his hand enveloped hers. “In that case, I’m more than okay with the change in plans.”

With the wind whipping through her hair, she enjoyed her ride around Lake Como, Wisconsin with Trent Tomlin, her very own international movie star.

About the Author

~~~

I fell in love with books at a young age, so for me the graduation to writing them was natural. An avid reader and fan of movies with a happily ever after, I live in my native Wisconsin with my husband and three children, a couple horses and some barn cats. I work part-time as a travel agent, and in my limited free time I enjoy gardening, canning, and visiting my parents in Northeastern Wisconsin (Up North) at the family cabin on the lake.
