Excerpt
A shiver sped down my spine at
the thought of spending another evening with Sergei. I didn’t know if I was
still on a high from the concert, but being in the dark car with him was
heightening all my senses. I’d always thought he was attractive, but only now
did I notice how his smile softened the sharp angles of his face, how sexy my
name sounded in his Russian accent, how his T-shirt hugged his lean yet
muscular chest.
I gulped and set my eyes on the
highway in front of us. You need to put
those thoughts out of your mind right now.
