‘You know we’d be working on this project twenty-four-seven, right?’
‘Of course,’ Sapphire said, and the vein in her temple pulsed.
It had been her ‘give’ when she’d been younger—a tell-tale sign that she was rattled— and Patrick didn’t know whether to be flattered or annoyed that spending time with him disconcerted her.
‘And that doesn’t bother you?’
She stood, cool and confident and lithe. ‘This is business. Why should it?’
That vein beat to a rap rhythm.
‘Okay then, let’s do it. ’
‘Fantastic. You won’t regret this. ’ Her lush mouth eased into a wide grin. ‘We’re going to be great together. ’
‘Absolutely. ’
And he kissed her to prove it.
Dear Reader
What does romance mean to you?
For me, it’s a glance, a smile, a touch, a kiss.
Kisses are special. They convey so much—tenderness and passion, fun and flirting. They’re sensual and sexy, sweet and sublime!
Patrick and Sapphire certainly discover all that and more when they join forces for Melbourne Fashion Week. Can the fashion house CEO and the jeweller collaborate in and out of the bedroom?
I love revisiting characters, and was so pleased when Sapphie (who first appeared in MARRYING THE ENEMY, her sister Ruby’s story) demanded her very own romantic tale, complete with plenty of kisses…
Happy reading!

CHAPTER ONE
SAPPHIRE INTERLOCKED HER fingers and stretched overhead, savouring the slight twinge between her shoulder blades. The twinge was good. It meant her muscles were functioning, which was more than she’d been able to say a few months ago.
But she wouldn’t go there. Not today.
Today was all about relaxation and easing back into work. Minimal stress. Positive thoughts. Focus.
She tilted her face to the Melbourne summer sun, enjoying the rays’ warm caress.
She should have done this more often. Then maybe she wouldn’t have ended up at the brink of collapse and almost losing her cherished family business.
If it hadn’t been for her younger sister Ruby…Her shoulder muscles spasmed and she lowered her arms, shook them out, using the relaxation techniques she’d learned during her enforced three month R&R at Tenang, the retreat that had nursed her weary body back to health.
