Although he’d merely shaken his head in puzzlement when that crazy girl, Harriet, had flounced out of the bedroom in such a bad temper, Finn very soon realised that he had somehow managed to seriously upset her.

‘Women…!’ he muttered as he once again rang the small bronze cow bell—‘A Present from Switzerland’—with which he’d had no problem summoning her to his aid last night. But now no amount of bell-ringing or shouting for attention seemed to produce anything—other than a deadly silence.

What on earth was wrong with the silly girl? Why such a fuss about a few extremely boring letters? If they had contained any explicit, scorching details of sexual passion, she might have been justified in getting so steamed up. But those guys had sounded total wimps! In fact, why that stunningly attractive girl, Harriet, had been prepared to put up with such stupid men was completely beyond him.

On the other hand… Leaning back on the pillows as he recalled the deliciously soft lips and wonderfully warm, firm breasts of the slim trembling figure he’d held in his arms only a short time ago, Finn was forced to admit that it was encouraging to find he didn’t appear to have too much competition. Or not just at the moment, anyway, he reminded himself, his mouth tightening into a hard line.

Over the next hour or so, Finn gradually realised that he wasn’t just lying here, bored out of his mind. He also discovered, to his considerable astonishment, that he was badly missing Harriet’s company.

Throughout his short acquaintance with that feisty, highly unpredictable lady, they seemed to have spent most of the time arguing with one another. Which wasn’t surprising, since she could be absolutely maddening at times. All the same… Harriet really was very different from his usual run of girlfriends. And the fact that he found her very sexually attractive was just one more reason why she should be up here—soothing his fevered brow—and not sulking downstairs, he told himself grumpily.

However, as the long hours passed and evening approached, with no sign of Harriet, Finn was finally forced to acknowledge the incontrovertible fact: he was definitely in the dog house. And although there might have been some slight excuse for his bad behaviour—a sleepless night, his aching broken leg, and his irritation at finding himself housebound for the next few weeks—there was definitely no excuse for stupidly upsetting Harriet.

Let’s face it, he told himself with a heavy sigh, while the girl might have caused the accident in the first place, she’d certainly done her best to make him as comfortable as possible ever since.

So…it didn’t look as if he had any choice. He must, somehow, endeavour to get himself downstairs—and humbly apologise for his uncouth behaviour. Besides which, he told himself ruefully, he had a horrid feeling that if he didn’t beg her pardon, Harriet was quite prepared to leave him up here to starve to death. And, quite frankly, he was now feeling extraordinarily hungry.

It took Finn far
