I kissed you, " Finlay said roughly. "for the very simple reason that you are irresistible." " I think that is what is known as serendipity, " Isabella replied, "for it's the very same reason I kissed you back." " Serendipity, " Finlay said, sliding his arm around her waist. "I've always wondered what it tasted like." " Strawberries, and lavender, and vintage wine, I believe is how you described it." " No, " he said decidedly. "It tastes of nothing other than essence of you. The most intoxicating and delicious taste imaginable.Marguerite Kaye

What the hell do you think you are doing, creeping about in the night in woman's clothing? I could just as easily have killed you?" The sheer audacity of her remark rendered him speechless for a moment, and then Finlay laughed. "This, senorita, is a kilt, not a skirt, and you did not for a moment come close to killing me, though I don't doubt that you'd have tried if I'd given you half a chance.Marguerite Kaye
