Love is always in season .
. .
Florist Ivy Birch
fantasizes about the day a man will surprise her with a beautiful bouquet of
flowers. Especially if that man happens to be Brett Hastings. One stolen kiss
at her best friend's wedding and Ivy can't get the sexy ER doctor out of her
head.
In the small town of Briar
Creek, you can't avoid anyone for very long. Not that Brett has been trying to
avoid Ivy. He just can't afford to let anything distract him from his work-not
again. So when a hospital fundraiser throws them together, love is the last
thing on his mind. But with her quick wit and sweet laugh, soon the one woman
he's tried to keep at arm's length is capturing his heart...
A
small gasp escaped from her but was quickly silenced by the firm press of
Brett’s mouth on hers. Unlike their last kiss, which had felt so tender, this
time Brett was leaving no room for confusion about his intentions. She
stiffened against his touch, trying to resist him, but pleasure pooled warm in
her stomach and the space between her legs began to ache as he wrapped two arms
around her waist and pulled her to his chest.
Oh,
God. She wanted to fight this. The feeling he was stirring within her. The need
for more. She opened her mouth to him, letting him in. He kissed her deeply,
not giving her a chance to break away, and she wasn’t so sure she could, even if
she wanted to. Her hands, which had been pushed off her hips by the strength of
his arms, hung loosely at her sides, as if determined to stay out of this drama
she was creating for herself, but, like her mouth, they lost the fight. She
slid her hands up onto Brett’s arms, taking in every curve of his hard muscles,
and up onto his shoulders as she leaned into him. His breath was heavy as he kissed
her harder, and she parted her legs to let his slide between and press against
the tightness that was building within her.
“What
are we doing?” she asked when they finally came apart. She blinked up at him
and resisted the urge to flatten his disheveled locks. I did that, she
realized with a flutter.
“I
don’t really know.” Brett’s voice was low and coarse. “But I like it.”
She
firmed her mouth and smoothed her dress. Not good enough.
Turning
to stare at the folding table, she felt her spirits begin to sag. She’d let him
in again. Let him take her to places she’d wanted, to dream dreams that should
have stayed in her unconscious. And nothing had changed. Men don’t
change, Ivy. That’s what her mother had always said. When would she learn?
“Well,
it can’t happen again,” she insisted.
“Oh
no?”
She
glanced back to see that slow, sexy smile. “No.” But even as she said it, her
body was saying yes.
