Inhaling deeply, willing the bad thoughts away, she concentrated on the lovely voice of the artist singing in her ear about a woman who was crazy and beautiful, but he loved her anyway.
That was the kind of love her sister had found with Logan. They couldn’t be more different, but Logan loved Charlie because of her uniqueness; he didn’t ridicule or belittle her. And the way he looked at the woman he loved was the same way—
Her hands stilled.
Nah, she was being silly. It wasn’t the way Blake looked at her at all. Besides, he may have had lustful thoughts at that moment, but it would be mostly because they’d been sharing the same space for a few hours. He was a man, she was a woman—these things happened but it didn’t mean anything.
And he was very clear about the fact that nothing could happen between them.
But those few moments so very close to him... She groaned out loud. How was she ever going to forget his warm, throbbing body pressed against her?
Chapter 6
––––––––
Blake sat in frontof the window in the coffee shop. He had one eye on the shop and one on his computer when he saw Lilly leaving the premises. She had her bag over her shoulder. Did that mean she was leaving for the day? Damn it to hell.
He packed up his laptop and threw money on the table before he rushed outside. His coffee and sandwich had just arrived, but it was more important now to make sure Lindsay was okay.
Checking up and down the street, he strode across to Lindsay’s shop. He could cheerily throttle her. Why the hell hadn’t she told him she’d be alone this afternoon?
The door was locked. He peered through the window. No movement inside. Where did she go? He’d checked the back, but it was possible someone had slipped around the other corner.
He was jogging around the building before he’d finished the thought. Cold fingers clutched around his throat. If anything happened to Lindsay...
As he came around the corner of the building, he saw her through the window of a smaller building attached to the shop in front. She had earphones on her ears and was swaying to a sound only she could hear. Inhaling deeply, he closed his eyes for a moment. The damn woman was going to give him a heart attack.
He knocked on the window, but she didn’t hear him. Hands on his hips, he stared at her. She was singing off key along with someone about “her crazy is beautiful to me.” Cursing, he inhaled some fresh air. His self-appointed job to protect Lindsay was sure as hell going to kill him pretty soon.
At that moment, she opened her eyes and saw him. And shrieked. Still yelling, she pulled the earphones from her ears.
Great. But a yelling, angry Lindsay he could handle. It was the singing, swaying, crazy, and beautiful one who could bring him to his knees.

Lindsay opened theback door with unsteady fingers, her heart still pounding in her chest. She’d just had the fright of her life. The last person she’d expected to see through the window was Blake.
