She whipped her head to him, studying him warily. What the hell had she been
thinking? She stood alone in an apartment with a virtual stranger, one who seemed in a
pretty fierce mad as he glared at her. He towered over her, his muscles clearly outlined in
the soft lighting of the room. She took a cautious step back, aware he’d locked his door,
