      “Breakfast is almost ready,”

      Kate called.

      Dylan came in, fastening his shirt. “You don’t have to cook for me. I don’t expect it.”

      “I don’t mind.”

      “At least you should wear something a little less…that is, something more suitable for cooking.”

      Perplexed, Kate looked down at her nightshirt.

      “What’s wrong with this?”

      “For one thing, there’s nothing to protect your skin,” Dylan growled. “Your legs are completely bare.”

      “Not really. See?” She plucked at the nightshirt, pulling it higher. The shirt went halfway down her thighs.

      “For God’s sake, don’t do that!”

      JULIANNA MORRIS

      has an offbeat sense of humor, which frequently gets her into trouble. She is often accused of being curious about everything. Her interests range from oceanography and photography to traveling, antiquing, walking on the beach and reading science fiction.

      Julianna loves cats of all shapes and sizes, and recently she was adopted by a feline companion named Merlin. Like his namesake, Merlin is an alchemist—she says he can transform the house into a disaster area in nothing flat. And since he shares the premises with a writer, it’s interesting to note that he’s particularly fond of knocking books on the floor.

      Julianna happily reports meeting her Mr. Right. Together they are working on a new dream of building a shoreline home in the Great Lakes area.

      Chapter One

      “I’m sorry, you can’t go in.”

      Dylan O’Rourke heard his secretary’s protest a split second before the door opened. He spun his chair around, prepared to deal with an insistent client, and saw Kate Douglas instead.

      “Kate.”

      She smiled. “Hey, Dylan.”

      “What do you want?”

      With Kate it was wise to cut to the chase. When they were kids he’d had an annoying habit of being unable to say “no” to the lady—like the time she’d gotten him to help her run away from home. He still remembered his father’s blistering lecture over that particular stunt. After that Dylan had nicknamed her “Katydid,” to remind himself that he didn’t have to do everything that Kate did.

      “Right now I want to sit down.”

      Kate sank onto the couch and crossed her legs. Her long gold hair matched the earrings and the gold chain around her neck, and she wore a white silk dress, white silk hose and a pair of white leather sandals…an outfit that probably cost more than his first car.

      White, in a construction office.

      Dylan shook his head, yet he couldn’t help grinning
