Excerpt
One thing I knew: I wasn’t that woman anymore. I wouldn’t be her anymore.My heart was racing at the thought of being separated from Matthew by only the door, and I watched as it opened, knowing he stood mere feet away. I drew in a deep breath to calm my frantic nerves and steady my racing heart. It was the moment my eyes would see him again, and the same moment I knew all involuntary muscle movements would cease.
As Matthew stepped in and around the door, his alluring eyes captured me. The feeling was nothing new. I’d been imprisoned by his gaze before. And locked in it again, I watched as he drifted to me, the indisputable chemistry between us palpable and absolute. His mesmerizing eyes had hypnotized my burning soul, completely bewitching me.
“Hello, Jessica,” he murmured, pointing to an open area of the bed. “Mind if I sit?”
I gave a slight shake of my head, having difficulty forming the simple word “no,” and watched as he made himself comfortable facing me. His crisp charcoal-colored trousers bunched as he scooted on the bed. My sight roamed along his classic plum-colored dress shirt and stopped searching once I focused on his face.

Excerpt
“Go on in. Take as long as you need.” He kissed me, a brief yet sensual kiss with a promise of much more to come. “See you soon,” he said, returning the flowers to my hands and opening my door. He waved his hand for me to enter, turned, and started walking away, leaving me feeling alarmed and confused.
“Wait!” I called out, depositing the flowers back on the floor, threw my bag into the loft, and jogged to him. “What do I do? When are you coming back?”
“Follow the clues.” He stepped forward and caressed my cheek, grinning from ear to ear.
“Yes, about the clues,” I said, taking his hands in mine.
“You’ll figure it out.” He smiled with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes and turned again to walk away.
“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” I called to his back just before he entered the elevator.
“More than you know, birthday girl.” He winked and his tall form disappeared behind the closing elevator doors.
Incorrigible!
He certainly was a bad boy, leaving me helpless and annoyed, desperately trying to discern his impossible hints.
Follow the clues. Pfffft!
