      “I wouldn’t want you to think…I mean—I don’t normally let…”

      To her embarrassment, the faint lift of one black eyebrow mocked the struggle she had to get her words out.

      “I don’t normally talk to strange men in bars.”

      Was she truly as nervous as she sounded? Gio wondered. Or was it just an act? Surely the woman who had given him such a deliberate and unashamed appraisal couldn’t now be feeling uncertain and ill at ease.

      “And I don’t normally talk to women I don’t know, either,” he returned smoothly.

      The faint scent of her body mixed with a light, floral perfume to send a sensual message straight to his brain, making his body harden in hungry demand. But rushing things would be a mistake.

      And the conquest would be all the sweeter as a result.

      “So why don’t we introduce ourselves, and then neither of us will be complete strangers?”

      Mamma Mia!
