Favorite lines:
Moonlight danced on his hair and Abby felt her stomach jitter when his eyes met hers. His hands moved to her face, and though her instinct was to back away, something kept her locked in place.
“Doug, don’t—”
But, he did. And while her mind was screaming at her to push him away, the warm skim of his lips against hers kept her from moving. His hands remained on her face, keeping her gently there as his lips cruised softly over hers.

“What are you working on there?”
“Oh, every time you make me mad I add it to this little list,” she said. “Once you hit one hundred, I hire a hit man.”
She said it with such a complete straight face he was almost obliged to believe her. If she could dish it out, so could he. “Can’t stop thinking about me, huh?”
