She was furious now, and not willing to take this abuse, even from a gorgeous, fantasy-man lumberjack! 

Knox looked down at her again, trying to resist the temptation to kiss her into silence.  “You’re too delicate, Ms. Kingsley.  You won’t last a week here in the Alaska wilds.  Winter is settling in and you’re going to need to get out of town before the snows start to block your exit.”

She huffed again.  “Listen you big bully!  I’m fine!  I don’t know a lot about Alaska, but I’m here.  I’m going to learn!”

He shook his head.  “A week,” he grumbled. 

Her eyes narrowed and she stepped closer.  “Want to bet?”

His eyes widened and he would have laughed if…well, if he wasn’t trying to hold himself back from kissing those perfect, rosebud lips.  They had to be fake, he thought.  A surgeon had done an excellent job.  No scars at all.  He had to focus on the conversation, of which he was losing track of at the moment.  “A bet?”

She nodded that cute little chin.  “That I last longer than a week.”
