“Is this your room or mine?” Lindsay asked Gil.
Dead silence. He didn’t even look at her.
“Gil? Is this—”
“Our room.”
It was her turn to be silent.
His gaze met hers. “There was only one room left. We can’t go on, and we can’t stay in the car. I didn’t know what to do but take the room. I promise you you’re in no danger from me.”
She believed him. And she should’ve been grateful. She was grateful, she hurriedly assured herself. But he needn’t make it sound so easy.
All afternoon, closed up in her small car, his male aura had kept her aware, tense…interested, no matter how much she told herself she wasn’t attracted to him.
Now she was going to share a motel room with him?

Chapter One
Lindsay Crawford was going home. True, it was only for the Thanksgiving holiday, but she was looking forward to presenting the new Lindsay to her family. She made the rounds of her apartment, watering her plants one last time, so that her neighbor would only have to water them once while she was gone.
She set her bags out into the hall and pulled the door behind her, locking it. Then she crossed the hall to the opposite door, knocked and waited for Kathy to answer.
Instead of her friend, though, a tall, handsome man opened the door. The biggest surprise of all, however, was his attire. Instead of Chicago chic, or city casual, as most of the men Lindsay met in the city wore, he was dressed in worn jeans, a flannel shirt and boots. Just like her brothers back home.
“Uh, is Kathy here?”
“Yeah. Just a sec.” He turned and called her neighbor’s name over his shoulder. Then he opened the door wider. “Come on in.”
Lindsay stepped inside the door just as Kathy came into the living area.
“Lindsay! You haven’t left yet?”
“No, I thought I’d bring over my key. You said you wouldn’t mind watering my plants. I just—”
“So your flight’s still on?” Kathy interrupted.
Lindsay stared at her. “Why wouldn’t it be?”
