She sat up and looked at him, curiosity filling her green eyes. “Are you telling me you have a secret?”

Chapter Five

Kelsey wasn’t sure she wanted to know the answer, but Jason’s thinly veiled “what if” told her he washiding something. Although she loved her work, sometimes she wished she wasn’t a journalist, that shewasn’t so consumed with getting a story that it overrode everything else in her life. This was one of thosetimes.

“Me? No. I don’t have any secrets to tell.”

The reporter in her wanted to press him for details, to finagle a way to get him to spill whatever secretshe held. The woman in her wanted to kick that reporter’s ass right off the property so she could enjoybeing with Jason.

Just once she wished she could turn the internal demons off. Couldn’t she do that for one weekend?

Simply enjoy being a woman in the company of a man who clearly desired her?
