      “Spoilsport. You know I’ll have to beat the men away with a club, don’t you? Nervous?”

      “Of course I am.” Scared spitless would be closer to the truth. They were posing as a man-and-wife security team for a powerful and deadly criminal. Anything could go wrong. “I’d be a fool not to be.”

      “I’ll be nearby at all times,” Rafe promised. “Ready?”

      “As I’ll ever be.”

      “Then let’s get this over with. Remember one thing,” he said as they started down the hall. “All night long I’m going to be peeling that dress from your body in my mind. So if you want something to really worry about, think about what’s going to happen when we have to share that bed later on.”

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      An avid reader, Dani Sinclair didn’t discover romance novels until her mother lent her one when she came for a visit. Dani’s been hooked on the genre ever since. With the premiere of Mystery Baby for Harlequin Intrigue in 1996, Dani discovered she not only enjoyed reading this genre, she loved writing the intense stories, as well. Her third novel, Better Watch Out, was a RITA Award finalist in 1998. Dani lives outside Washington, D.C., a place she’s found to be a great source for both intrigue and humor!
