       “I don’t like you,” she mumbled under her breath, so low he could barely make out what she’d said.

      “I noticed,” he whispered back, in resigned acknowledgement of her feelings toward him.

      “Even if you are scorching hot and wear sex appeal like a second skin.”

      Sloan’s entire body went stiff. Her breathing was still even and her body hadn’t moved away from where she’d spooned with his. Was she awake?

      “You think I’m sexy?” he asked, curious as to whether she’d respond and, if so, what she’d say.

      “You are so hot you melt my insides just looking at you—but don’t think I’ll ever tell you that,” she answered, her body still relaxed against his. “I won’t, because I don’t like you.”

      Asleep. She was talking to him in her sleep. No way would she have just said that and not gone all tense if she were awake.

      Sloan grinned. It no longer mattered that Cara didn’t like him, because apparently she was as physically aware of him as he was of her. Somehow, at that moment, that seemed a lot more important in the grand scheme of life than merely being liked.

      “Goodnight, Cara,” he whispered against her hair, brushing his lips against its silkiness in a soft kiss. “We’re going to have this conversation when you’re awake, because looking at you melts my insides, too, and I do like you. I like you way too much.”

       Dear Reader,

      It’s funny how real life bleeds over into the imaginary worlds we authors create. Cara and Sloan’s story is definitely an example of that. A while back my mentor and dear friend died—the best doctor and one of the greatest men I’ve ever known—and in this story Cara is dealing with the loss of her father—a man much like my dear friend. Only Cara’s father’s death has set into play a whirlwind of changes that put Cara’s life and heart into a tailspin.

      Sloan might be my favourite hero I’ve ever written… might be. He’s the kind of man I want for my own daughters some day. A good man with strong morals, a lover of life, and a man who wants to give back to others—a man who loves with all his heart. He’s half in love with Cara before he’s even met her in person, and can’t quite figure out why she, his mentor’s daughter, can’t stand him.

      I had so much fun watching the relationship unfold between these two, as each learns what it means to love someone and to love each other.

      As always, I love to hear from my readers. You can reach me at [email protected] or find out what I’ve been up to via Facebook.

      Happy reading!
