      “I still desire you.”

      The word desire sent quivers running up and down Ellie’s spine, like a feather on bare skin, creating need within her. And Michael certainly knew how to fill that need.

      “I think we should order dessert. I’m hungry for something chocolate.” Chocolate had the power to make the pain go away; it was also an effective cure for sexual frustration.

      Michael’s grin was borderline erotic, and it sent her pulse racing. “I seem to recall that when you were hungry for chocolate that usually meant you were hungry for something else.”

      Shit! It was true. When she was horny, she craved chocolate.

      “I don’t remember anything of the kind. And I just realized I can’t have dessert. I’m on a diet.”

      Well, at least her trainer would be proud of her.

      “You don’t need to lose weight. You look perfect to me.”

      “I am perfect. Perfectly impervious to your charms, Michael Deavers, so don’t try sweet-talking me into anything. I’m not buying it. Sex is purely an animal instinct—”

      “We can go back to my place.”

      The devil was tempting….

       EPILOGUE

      “Never relinquish your own apartment unless you have an engagement ring firmly on your finger, or you’re broke.”

      CHAPTER ONE

      ELLIE PETERS WAS HAVING a midlife crisis.

      Well, not exactly midlife, since she was only thirty-two years, three months, and seventeen days old. But she lived in midtown Manhattan, so the “mid” part was definitely valid.

      And as crises went, hers was major!

      “We need to find a place to live, Barn, and we need to find it fast. Brian will be back from L.A. next week, and we’ve got to be moved out of here by then.”

      Her idea, not his.

      Brian foolishly thought they could still work things out, even after he’d called Barnaby “God’s stupid mistake”
