      “You mentioned terms. What did you have in mind?”

      Laura lifted her chin and gave Kyle a shy smile. “I need an administrator.”

      Kyle shook his head. “Undercover means inconspicuous. If I come in as head honcho, every person at the institute will scrutinize the daylights out of me.”

      Laura sank down, shoulders slumped. “It seemed like the solution to both our problems.”

      Kyle settled beside her, longing to pull her into his arms and comfort her. He kept his distance. His reassuring hug might turn into something deeper. Wilder. “Just hire me as a simple researcher and let me start right away.”

      Laura turned to face him again, her expression calm and resolute. “There’s one way to both get what we want.”

      Kyle smiled at her earnestness. “If you’ve thought of a solution, you’re a miracle worker.”

      “It will work, all right.” Her solemn eyes sought and held his gaze. “You’ll have to marry me.”

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Charlotte Douglas has loved a good story since learning to read at the age of three. After years of teaching that love of books to her students, she now enjoys creating stories of her own. Often her books are set in one of her three favorite places: Montana, where she and her husband spent their honeymoon; the mountains of North Carolina, where they’re building a summer home; and Florida, near the Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s West Coast, where she’s lived most of her life.
