Man of Passion

"
Rafe
Antonio at your service,
Señorita
Worthington."
As his strong mouth grazed Ari's hand, a wild series of shocks leaped up her arm. No one had ever kissed her hand before! But the minute
Rafe
raised his
head,
she saw that his brown eyes were hard and merciless looking.

"
Ohh
…well…thank you,
Señor
Antonio." She quickly pulled her hand away.

"Call me
Rafe
," he told her. He didn't want to like her. He couldn't bear to think of spending the coming months keeping guard over a woman—
especially a woman like
this.

But Morgan
Trayhern
was counting on him. And
Rafe
wasn't the kind of man who would shirk his duty.

To Karen David, a delightful maverick
in her own right, and a dear friend.
