“Are you running away?”

The words came as if from a distance. Josh tore his gaze from the blue flames and stared into her big brown eyes. “Excuse me?”

He placed his palm on her cheek and ran his thumb along her chin. “Always thinking. I don’t want to talk about the past and I don’t want to talk about the future. Why don’t we just stay in the moment, Miss Valentine?” And with that he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Thanksgiving night, a fire in the fireplace, together with a woman he liked and respected. This was all he wanted for now. Because once Miss Wendy Valentine found out the truth about him, there would be no more kisses. Once Miss Wendy Valentine found out what he’d done, she would have her big story and she would be on her way.
