CHAPTER SIX

ISOBEL couldn’t sleep. The night was hot, and her thoughts were racing around in circles, causing her to toss and turn in the huge double bed.

She couldn’t understand why she had felt the way she had when Marco had kissed her.

He might not have torn her grandfather’s business apart, but he was still a ruthless womaniser, she reminded herself fiercely. He was still the type of predator who could sense weakness and turn it to his own advantage … both in business and in his private life.

So the sooner she got out of here in the morning and returned home to sanity the better.

Isobel turned her pillow around, searching for some cool cotton against her skin and some sleep.

And yet … her brain wouldn’t switch off. Because how would she know these facts about Marco were true if she didn’t stick around to find out? She’d made a mistake about him once—she didn’t want to do it again.

The only thing that she was sure of about Marco was that he was a far more complicated character than she had ever imagined.

That and the fact that he turned her on more than any other man she had ever met.

The knowledge made her temperature shoot through the ceiling, and she tried desperately to block the thought out.

But as she closed her eyes the memory of that kiss returned with powerful intensity, and the fact remained that no man had ever made her feel so alive … or so scared.

Certainly Rob had never set her heart racing like that; in fact he had never unleashed any wild feelings of desire. She’d told herself that was what she wanted. That she didn’t want to lose control—that she wanted a safe, steady relationship where she could settle down and start a family.

Little had she known that all the time Rob had been pursuing her he’d had another woman in the background. She might never have found out either, if she hadn’t called round to his flat late one night after finishing work.

He’d tried to tell her that the scantily clad blonde in his living room didn’t mean anything to him—that it was a onetime-only mistake and that it was Isobel’s fault for not sleeping with him.

For a while she’d started to wonder if that was true. She’d even started to think that there might be something wrong with her. Because it had always been far too easy for her to pull away from a kiss and to put work first … Easy until now.

The knowledge blazed with unwelcome intensity as she remembered just how difficult she had found it to pull away from Marco.

And she supposed she’d put her job on the line by telling him she wasn’t going to continue with their interview. If she went back to the Daily Banner without the story they wanted, her reputation would be in tatters.

Her stomach lurched crazily at the thought.

Of all the people in the world to have this effect on her! Why Marco? She couldn’t understand it, because he was everything she’d always said she didn’t like in a man.
