       “Nash—”

      He shushed her with a finger over her lips. “You have the most beautiful mouth I’ve ever seen on a woman. When I’m alone in this room with you, and the rest of the world is some distant nightmare outside that door, all I can think about is that kiss we shared yesterday.”

      “You were delirious with fever. You probably aren’t remembering it accurately.”

      At last those firm lips crooked up with a dangerous grin. “How’s my temperature now, Nurse Rodriguez?”

      “Normal. Your fever hasn’t come back.” Was that hushed quiver of anticipation really coming from her throat?

      Nash brushed the calloused pad of his thumb across her bottom lip, sparking a dozen different nerve endings. “My eyes are focused? My thoughts are sane? No delusions?”

      Her mouth was parched with anticipation. “As far as I can tell, you’re … healthy.”

      “Good. I just wanted to make sure we’re clear on this.” Then he leaned in, replacing his thumb with his mouth.

      USA TODAY bestselling author JULIE MILLER attributes her passion for writing romance to all those books she read growing up. When shyness and asthma kept her from becoming the action-adventure heroine she longed to be, Julie created stories in her head to keep herself entertained. Encouragement from her family to write down the feelings and ideas she couldn’t express became a love for the written word. She gets continued support from her fellow members of the Prairieland Romance Writers, where this teacher serves as the resident “grammar goddess.” Inspired by the likes of Agatha Christie and Encyclopedia Brown, Julie believes the only thing better than a good mystery is a good romance.

      Born and raised in Missouri, this award-winning author now lives in Nebraska with her husband, son and an assortment of spoiled pets.

      “You’re a dead man, Nash!”

      DEA agent Charlie Nash slammed his back against the metal shelves that had blocked the spray of bullets and saved his life. One step slower and he’d be bleeding out on the floor like the young man lying in the open aisle beside Thug One.

      “Kid?” He wasn’t really expecting a response.
