Book description
Her heart skipped a beat when Alex leaned into the microphone and
thanked the band. His baritone voice sounded even sexier reverberating
through the small room. Cara watched in amusement as a small crowd
immediately gathered around the stage. Many were women, both young and
old, with cameras in their hand, primping and waiting for the perfect
photo opportunity. Over the next few minutes, Alex posed for every
picture and signed every autograph. If this is what it s like to be
famous, she d pass. She was glad the only notoriety she d ever have was
the full-page ad in the Yellow Pages for Beacon House. Cara straightened
as Alex slid into the booth next to her. Why didn t you warn me about
the groupies? I am seething with jealousy over here. He draped his arm
around the back of the booth, and she unconsciously inched closer to
him. There s no competition here. He twisted a lock of her hair around
his finger and tugged on it playfully. You re still my biggest fan
right? She lifted her eyes to his and nodded, wishing inside that he
knew, that she had the courage to tell him, just how much of a fan she
was. He laid his hand against her cheek, and she felt his warm breath on
her lips. And I m yours. Their lips melted together in quiet intensity,
and everything else their fear, their pasts, and their uncertain future
-- disappeared. Her heart skipped a beat when Alex leaned into the
