Love
is always in season . . .
Florist
Ivy Birch fantasizes about the day a man will surprise her with a beautiful
bouquet of flowers. Especially if that man happens to be Brett Hastings. One
stolen kiss at her best friend's wedding and Ivy can't get the sexy ER doctor
out of her head.
In
the small town of Briar Creek, you can't avoid anyone for very long. Not that
Brett has been trying to avoid Ivy. He just can't afford to let anything
distract him from his work-not again. So when a hospital fundraiser throws them
together, love is the last thing on his mind. But with her quick wit and sweet
laugh, soon the one woman he's tried to keep at arm's length is capturing his
heart...
A small gasp escaped from her but was quickly
silenced by the firm press of Brett’s mouth on hers. Unlike their last kiss,
which had felt so tender, this time Brett was leaving no room for confusion
about his intentions. She stiffened against his touch, trying to resist him,
but pleasure pooled warm in her stomach and the space between her legs began to
ache as he wrapped two arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest.
Oh, God. She wanted to fight this. The
feeling he was stirring within her. The need for more. She opened her mouth to him,
letting him in. He kissed her deeply, not giving her a chance to break away,
and she wasn’t so sure she could, even if she wanted to. Her hands, which had
been pushed off her hips by the strength of his arms, hung loosely at her
sides, as if determined to stay out of this drama she was creating for herself,
but, like her mouth, they lost the fight. She slid her hands up onto Brett’s
arms, taking in every curve of his hard muscles, and up onto his shoulders as
she leaned into him. His breath was heavy as he kissed her harder, and she
parted her legs to let his slide between and press against the tightness that
was building within her.
“What are we doing?” she asked when they
finally came apart. She blinked up at him and resisted the urge to flatten his
disheveled locks. I did that, she realized with a flutter.
“I don’t really know.” Brett’s voice was low
and coarse. “But I like it.”
She firmed her mouth and smoothed her dress.
Not good enough.
Turning to stare at the folding table, she
felt her spirits begin to sag. She’d let him in again. Let him take her to
places she’d wanted, to dream dreams that should have stayed in her
unconscious. And nothing had changed. Men don’t change, Ivy. That’s
what her mother had always said. When would she learn?
“Well, it can’t happen again,” she insisted.
“Oh no?”
She glanced back to see that slow, sexy
smile. “No.” But even as she said it, her body was saying yes.
