Excerpt:
“I really appreciate this.” She met his gaze and her stomach fluttered. She’d never seen eyes like his, completely honest, yet harboring a million secrets. They were strong, yet compassionate, and seemed to look straight into her soul.
The constant fear she lived with told her to walk away from him and not even bother with the translation, but something urged her to stay. Inside, she struggled. Common sense, fear, and attraction battled fiercely. Curiosity, she told herself. She wanted his skills for translation, but as a man, he didn’t interest her.
Lie. What a pitiful lie.
That’s ten, but here’s a bit more, if you’d like to read on:
“It’s my pleasure. It’s nice to see another American.”
“Are you here on vacation?”
“Business, really. And visiting a friend.”
Mara nodded. She had one friend. Charlie. And they hadn’t talked in months.
Adam studied her for a moment. “Are you all right?”
She drew a deep breath and forced a smile. “Of course. Whenever you want to start.”
