Siena lowered herself back down to the pillow, soft behind her head. She felt cold, suddenly, but did not pull the duvet higher.

She stared up at the ceiling.

Aware that her heart was thudding.

Aware that she was completely naked.

Aware that she had just spent the night with a man she had met only the previous evening. Aware of so much...

A sudden heat knifed through her.

Dear God, had she really done what she thought she had?

Her gaze went around the room. Luxuriously appointed. But then this was the Mayfair Falcone, so of course it was luxurious. As elegant and upmarket as the restaurant where she’d dined, with its famous chef and famous reputation and sky-high prices. As elegant as that swish party in one of the hotel’s opulent function rooms which her old school-friend Megan, whom she was staying with in London, had dragged her to, insisting she needed something fun and carefree and hedonistic after all she’d been through, and insisting, too, that she look the part for so glamorous and fashionable a venue.

So Megan had loaned her one of her own designer cocktail frocks, in mauve shot silk. It was a size too small, but Megan had said she’d looked a knockout in it, and then sat her down and done her hair and nails and make-up—far more extravagantly and glamorously than Siena was used to. Then she’d handed her a pair of strappy evening shoes with sky-high heels, thrust a satin evening bag at her and, looking a knockout herself, had piled them both into a taxi to whisk them from Megan’s flat in Notting Hill to Mayfair, to disgorge them at the Falcone.

‘It’s part work, part social,’ Megan, who was a high-flyer at a fancy PR company, had told her of the party she was taking her to. ‘And it’s just what you need after all these tough years. You put your life on hold—and, yes, I know why you did it, and applaud you for it—but now you’re starting your life again. Off to art school in the autumn—finally! Just like you always dreamt. And a flash bash like tonight’s will get you back into the swing of things. You haven’t had a social life for years!’

She’d squeezed Siena’s hand in the taxi, her voice sympathetic.

‘So let your hair down tonight! Be someone different—go crazy...indulge yourself. Who knows? Meet someone!’

As Siena sat back against the pillows, alone in the bed, alone in the room, a hollow opened up inside her and found a chill was replacing that flush of heat.

Meet someone...

Megan’s words echoed in her head, and the hollow inside her gaped wider.

Instantly he was in her vision. Just as he had been last night when, gingerly taking a glass of champagne from a passing server, she had been inadvertently jostled by someone, making her reverse sharply and step against another guest. She’d turned to apologise—and the apology had died on her lips.

She’d felt her eyes widen, her mouth open, colour flare.

The most lethal-looking male she had ever seen in her life.
