"Hey," he said, voice hoarse. He swallowed around the rock that had suddenly taken form in his throat.

  "Do you see me?" she asked.

  He frowned. "Of course I see you."

  "I mean, do you really see me?" She glanced at the floor before looking back at him. "I need you to understand, Ian. I was glitzy and glamorous last night. But that's not me. That was a fantasy. This is me. I'm not glamorous or beautiful or—"

  "Bullshit."

  She blinked. "Pardon?"

  "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, Lizzy." He closed the gap between them and took her hands into his. "I don't care if you're covered in a bright dress, blue jeans, or those old Winnie the Pooh jammies you used to sport."

  Her face reddened and she opened her mouth, but no sounds sprang from her so he plowed ahead. "I don't care if you're wearing make-up or not. I don't even care if you ever wear a drop of the stuff another day of your life. You're beautiful, inside and out." He cleared his throat. "And I'd be the luckiest man in the world if you'd give me the chance to show you how much I care about you—no matter what you're wearing."

  She tried to speak a couple of times, but kept shaking her head, gaze firmly affixed to their hands. Finally she said, "I can't believe you'd bring up those pajamas right now!"

  A laugh almost choked his tight throat. She looked back at him, hazel eyes serious and full of emotions he couldn't name.

  "I love you too, Ian. I love you so much. I always have."

  He cried out, a call full of happiness and love, and picked her up in his arms. She squealed as he swung her around in a full circle. Then he set her back down in front of him. Laughing, she wiped furiously at her eyes.

  "I'm going to make you happy," he promised, rubbing away the moisture from her cheeks softly with his fingertips.

  "I know you will." She smiled.

  And then he kissed her.

  When Mia Watts steps into a hotel bar, she’s doing her best to step away from her problems—a stressful job, her little sister’s dwindling college fund, and a stinging chance encounter with her ex. What she finds is a sexy man who sweeps her off her feet for the night.

  But her sensual stranger isn’t a stranger after all.

  Jack isn’t looking forward to taking over his father’s company, even for the short period of time it’ll take to sell it off. But when he meets his new project manager, he has a whole new twist to worry about.

  About the Author

  Tiffany Allee (aka Andie Devaux) writes sensual romance stories. When she’s not writing (or reading!), she can usually be found daydreaming, hiking, or attempting a new recipe. She thinks that life should require happily ever afters. And since she doesn’t make the rules of life, she instead applies this philosophy to the worlds she can control – the ones in her books.
