Two weeks until the release of Spring Secrets! Want a sneak peek at Sienna and Mike's first kiss? It happens in the snow, under the stars...

He held up her coat and waited as she slipped first one slender arm and then the other inside. A touch closer and he could wrap her in his arms. He bit the inside of his cheek to keep himself from growing hard again. Then he pulled on his own coat and followed Sienna to the door. Their breath came in long white streams the moment they stepped outside.

“I forgot how miserable this weather can be.” She unlocked her car, shivering.

He glanced up. “But take a look at that view.” Above them, a few stars studded the early evening sky.
“It’s pretty, I’ll give you that.” She blinked and looked upward as well, and her long lashes fell to her cheeks before rising again. Everything in Mike turned white-hot with desire. “I guess I’ll see you around.”

This was the moment she would turn and say goodbye, duck into her car, and leave him standing in the falling snow. Except she didn’t. She stood with her back against her cute little sports car, not moving, her chest lifting and falling, the breath still streaming from between her cherry lips, until on impulse, he leaned forward and kissed her.

He meant to kiss her once, fast and hard, but the moment he tasted her again, his hands went to her waist and pulled her tightly against him. His tongue teased her lips open, and she wound her arms around his neck and kissed him back. She smelled like something spicy and forbidden, and despite the cold, she was fire under his touch. Her cheeks and neck and every place he could feel sizzled with sexuality.

I want you. Now. Naked. Anywhere. Here. The crazy thoughts flashed in and out of his head, and suddenly he was twenty-three again and kissing someone else who’d turned him head over heels with lust.

Mike stopped. He dropped his hands from Sienna’s face and stepped back. “Ah, sorry.”

“Don’t be.” She touched his cheek with the gloved fingers of one hand. “It’s really good to see you again.”
He didn’t answer. He couldn’t.

This time, she did leave. She slipped inside the car, buckled her seat belt, and drove toward the center of town. Mike laced his hands behind his head and watched her go. She hadn’t told him where she was renting an apartment. She hadn’t told him much of anything.

Damn mistake. He had no intention of falling for a woman. He would not, could not, let a woman mess up his head or his heart again...
