Chapter 11

Squaring her shoulders, half expecting him to stop her, Elena turned and strode along the terrace back towards the bright lights and people.He let her go. See, it had been easy after all. She’d called Christian’s bluff and that was the end of it.That was not disappointment she felt. It was relief that she’d never have to see him again.Christian WATCHED Elena march away. He’d thought nothing about George Morrison could surprise him. Yet Morrison’s daughter had stopped him in his tracks.Elena. He savoured her name.Perhaps it had been a mistake pulling away from her. Maybe if he hadn’t kept his distance he’d have shattered this illusion that she was different.Except it would take more than a quickie up against the garden wall to quench what was inside him.
