“Are you all right?”
Elena cupped Nick’s jaw and tried for a confident smile. “I’m fine.”
One long finger stroked down her cheek, sending a raw shimmer through her. “Then why do I get the feeling that you’re not quite comfortable with this?”
“Probably because I haven’t done this in a while.”
Something flared in his gaze. “How long?”

He said something soft beneath his breath. “Six years ago you slept with me.”
The breath caught in her throat. “I’m surprised you remember.”
“I’m not likely to forget,” he said quietly, “since you were a virgin.”
For a split second she was afraid he might abandon the whole idea of making love, so she took a deep breath and boldly trailed a hand down his chest. “I’m not a virgin now.”
He trapped her hand beneath his, then used it to pull her close so that she found herself half-sprawled across his chest. “Good.”

Elena Lyon would never get a man in her life until she surgically removed every last reminder of Nick Messena from hers!
Number one on her purge list was getting rid of the beach villa located in Dolphin Bay, New Zealand, in which she had spent one disastrous, passionate night with Messena.
As she strolled down one of Auckland’s busiest streets, eyes peeled for the real estate agency she had chosen to handle the sale, a large sign emblazoned with the name Messena Construction shimmered into view, seeming to float in the brassy summer heat.
Automatic tension hummed, even though the likelihood that Nick, who spent most of his time overseas, was at the busy construction site was small.
Although, the sudden conviction that he was there, and watching her, was strong enough to stop her in her tracks.
Taking a deep breath, she dismissed the overreaction which was completely at odds with her usual calm precision and girded herself to walk past the brash, noisy work site.
