THERE was something about him which made her think of danger. Something dark and tantalising which drew her gaze like a magnet. Cassie felt the rush of blood to her cheeks and the sudden pounding of her heart as she stared at the man across the busy holiday rush of the department store. He was gorgeous.

Only today, she could see someone rather different from her usual customer —a tall, brooding man with skin the colour of burnished olive. Clad in a dark cashmere overcoat, his face proud and aristocratic, his lips mockingly sensual— and yet there was a cold, hard glint to his eyes of pure ebony. Cassie’s heart started racing....
