“Miss Heroine,�� he said in a low voice, taking both her gloved hands in his. He raked her with a frankly approving glance. “You look like a Christmas angel.��

Heroine laughed at his flattery. “Thank you for the lovely book, Mr. Hero. I will treasure it. But I’m afraid I have nothing for you.��

“The sight of you in that low-cut dress is the only gift I want.��

She frowned at him, casting a quick glance around them to see if anyone was close by. “Hush…what if someone were to overhear you?��

“They would think that I have an itch for you,�� he murmured sotto voce. “And they would be correct.��

“An itch,�� she repeated coolly, inwardly delighting in the exchange. “Dear me, how poetic.��

He grinned at her. “I haven’t your talent for writing rapturous descriptions of carnal lust, I’ll freely admit—��

“I’ll thank you not to mention such filthy subjects on a sacred holiday,�� she whispered sharply, her cheeks flaming.

Hero grinned and placed one of her hands on his arm. “Very well,�� he said, relenting, “I’ll behave like a choirboy for the rest of the day, if that will please you.��

“It would be a pleasant change,�� she said primly, making him chuckle.



I love this book and both the hero and heroine. Hope you like it too

I am pretty sure I haven't read it...unless it's from a pretty old book ny an author who writes both historicals and contemporaries?

The book's published after 2005 and yes she writes both...

I have a pretty good guess...though I've been wrong before! If I'm right, I identified a lot with the heroine.

Nope, the one I was thinking of ws 2001. Ok. I'm stumped

I don't know it and I can't wait to find out what it is!!!

I, once again, don't have a clue!!! LOL!!

Does anyone know the answer to this puzzler?

Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas

This was the one I thought! Her website says it was first published in 2001
Those pesky multiple editions...

Well, DANG! I've read this book! YEARS ago, but still...

Yay, I got one!

I just read it 5-6 days ago and I can't imagine why I didn't read it earlier! I think it's one of her best books...

I've never read it! *gasp I've now added it to my tbr list.

I've read that and would never have gotten it! LOL Although it has been a while. Maybe it's time for a re-read.
