SUNNY STRETCHED OUT in the wide chaise, stifling a yawn. They’d come back to the villa to spend the afternoon on the beach. The weather was warm and the skies were clear and after so much wine, Sunny was relaxed and sleepy.

She shaded her eyes and watched as Logan stood knee-deep in the water. Since her temper tantrum earlier that morning, he’d been quiet, his thoughts occupied with matters that he wasn’t interested in sharing with her.

It didn’t surprise her how the argument started. She’d been simmering since early that morning and the wine just made it easier to say what she was thinking. But after her fears and insecurities had been laid bare, Sunny felt a bit guilty. After all, she and Logan had known each other less than a week. It wasn’t fair to have any expectations this early on, was it?

And yet, she felt closer to Logan than she had to any other man she’d known. He was solid and honest, and he didn’t get lost in his own ego. And even though she insisted he was just a friend, Sunny knew that wasn’t true. She also knew that hiding her true feelings was the only way to keep him around. And that was her primary goal—to keep Logan in her life until he realized she was more important to him than any other person in his life.

It wasn’t difficult to imagine what stood between them. They existed in totally different worlds. Hers was comfortable and his was a constant struggle. But she wasn’t going to apologize for something she had no control over. Her father’s money didn’t define her.

She hadn’t made her father wealthy, he did that on his own. And it wasn’t her money. She was almost as poor as a church mouse. Her total wealth amounted to the credit limit on her bank card, and she wasn’t even sure what that was.

Why couldn’t they just be two people who shared an overwhelming passion for each other? Why did they have to live in the real world, where wealth seemed so important?

Logan ran back across the beach and plopped down next to her on the chaise. He shook his wet head, cold droplets falling over her warm skin. Sunny screamed and tried to scoot out of the way, but he grabbed her and pulled her back. His lips met hers in a long, lazy kiss.

“I think that we should do this every year,” she murmured, running her fingers through his hair.

“What?” Logan said. “Kiss on the beach?”

“Travel. Go somewhere interesting. You have to admit, we make a good pair. We’ve only had one fight in five days and that was due to your stupidity and my overconsumption of wine.”

“That’s true,” he admitted.

“And we don’t have to rent separate rooms, so that saves money.”

“Also true.”

“So, I thought I could plan the trip and you’ll come with me. For a week or two. It will be fun. Sex and travel. Doesn’t that sound nice? And you could get away for a week or two, couldn’t you?”

“I could,” he said.
