      “This does not make sense, Mr. Wilder.

      “It is to your advantage that I fail in this venture. Why in the world would you offer help?” asked Jane.

      Rydell took a single step toward her and reached out. “Been askin’ myself that question all morning.”

      “And what is your answer to that question?” Jane’s voice had steadied, but it dropped to a whisper.

      “Damn—darned if I know,” he admitted. And before he knew what he was doing, he closed his fingers around her upper arm. She didn’t move, just looked at him. Unable to help himself, he pulled her toward him. And his mouth found hers.

      Her lips were warm. He’d never known such excruciating sweetness. Instinctively he broke free. He didn’t think he could stop if he didn’t call a halt now.

      “You’re right, this doesn’t make sense,” he breathed against her temple. “No sense at all.”
