Beguiled
by Dawn CarrollShe’d slept with the enemy. All of a sudden the full impact of what Liana had allowed to happen struck her. “I think you’d better leave,” she said in a low voice. Max’s mouth tightened, but then he nodded curtly. “You’re too scared of your own feelings to see reason right now. I’ll call you later.” “Don’t bother. I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to be, uh... seeing each other.” He crossed the room and stopped in front of her. “You can’t mean that. Not after the way you gave yourself to me last night.” Liana steeled herself against the sensual memories. “I wasn’t thinking clearly. I am now.” Max slid his fingers though her hair and pulled her close. His warm mouth closed over hers and he kissed her until she was gasping and trembling. Then he drew back and looked directly into her eyes. “You’re the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time. I’m not giving that up without a fight.” Dawn Carroll enjoyed weaving a world of mysterious accidents and secrets from the past for this intriguing novel. But when the writing of Beguiled became something of an adventure in itself, she couldn’t help but say, “This is not fun.” Dawn, her husband and their two children reside in San Diego where they recently endured an unusually heavy rainy season. Unfortunately, their roof leaked--right over Dawn’s computer! She was forced to work under a canopy while her husband made the repairs.
