“Nice?” he said softly.
Jenna couldn’t speak. That light touch scorched. She couldn’t recall ever being so acutely aware of another human being. When his thigh brushed against hers, she bit down hard on her lip.

Chapter One
Anticipation sizzling in her blood, Jenna Harper scanned the passengers from the recently landed Los-Angeles-to-Auckland flight. Backpackers in jeans and boots, business people in tailored suits, parents with tired-eyed children, a middle-aged couple whose grandchildren swarmed to them as they appeared from the customs area.

By Jenna’s side her best friend, Katie Crossan, shifted impatiently from one foot to the other. Katie’s sister, Jane, hitched her youngest into her arms while her husband restrained the older two, who were becoming restless.
