Tycoon's Temptation. Katherine Garbera

      “I’m looking for a, um, Wood Tolliver?” The voice was feminine and very husky. A phone-sex voice.

      Not that Hadley knew what a phone-sex voice sounded like. “Can you hold on for a moment and I’ll see if he’s in his room?”

      “Of course. Thank you.”

      Hadley carried the cordless unit with her and knocked on Wood’s door.

      He yanked it open a moment later, looking a trifle harried. As if he’d been raking his fingers through his hair a few dozen times. His sleeves were shoved up his arms, and she could see papers scattered again all over his bed. She wondered anew what it was that necessitated so many notes. He seemed to have more of them than her latest manuscript attempt did. “Phone call for you.”

      He stared at the phone she extended as if he’d never seen one before. “Who is it?”

      “I didn’t ask.” Some woman. Maybe the woman you were with last night. “And I’m busy.” She pushed the phone into his hand and turned away.

      Unfortunately, she didn’t move fast enough to miss his impatient “Hello” followed by his much less impatient “Hey, there, sweetheart.”

      Well, of course, she told herself.

      Guys like Wood Tolliver naturally had a “sweetheart” somewhere. She was just fooling herself to think otherwise.

      He may have kissed her, but she was the type of woman the Wendell Pierces of the world wanted, not the Wood Tollivers.
