Cecilia Warden had been without a man's touch for too
long. That was why the stranger standing on her terrace,
apparently oblivious to the frigid night and anything else,
seemed to have been cut from her most erotic dreams.
She should have been afraid. After all, he hadn't been
invited to her home. He shouldn't have even been out in the
light snow that promised to turn into a blizzard at any moment.
He could be any kind of villain. A thief. A murderer. A
rapist.
A part of her
was
afraid, but not for any of those very
good reasons. Instead, it was her body's reaction that fed her
terror. Her very blood ached as she watched him look over her
gardens far below. Beneath her thin night rail, her nipples
puckered and her breasts grew hot and heavy with need. The
heat spread lower, through her quivering belly and finally
settling between her thighs.
This man hadn't even looked at her yet, let alone touched
her, but the broad expanse of his shoulders and the way his
large hands flexed on the stone barrier made her sex grow wet
with want. Her clit tingled as cold air stirred around her legs.
Instinctively she knew with just one touch he could make her
shatter with powerful pleasure.
Never before had a stranger given her such a strong and
immediate reaction, yet she couldn't look away. Couldn't make
herself call out to him and demand an explanation for his
appearance in her home. All she could do was stare.

When her hand stole up to stroke one pebble-hard nipple,
he finally stirred, almost as if in response, though his back was
turned. As she watched in shock, he braced his arms on her
terrace wall and hoisted himself up on the slippery stone
surface. While he struggled to gain equilibrium, he looked up
into the snowy sky.
"Alana!" he howled into the darkness.
Cecilia momentarily forgot her own scandalous wants at
the harsh sound of his broken cry. Spurred into action, she
stepped forward. Her slippered feet crunched in the snow that
soaked through the fabric, but she hardly felt the cold. "Sir?"
He staggered around to face her. Cecilia gasped once as
he nearly fell to his death, then a second time when she looked
up into his face.
She'd been right. This man
had
been taken from her
darkest and most sensual dreams. From his dark hair, which
was just a touch too long for modern sensibilities, to his
sparkling green eyes, to his cut, harsh jaw line, he was
perfection.
He was also very obviously drunk and didn't care if he
hurt himself. In fact, when she stared into the depths of his
eyes, she realized he wanted that very thing. He was standing
on her terrace wall because he intended to throw himself to a
crushing death far below.
His stare searched her face, then deeply into her eyes until
she feared he could actually see her soul. And the desires that
still flared despite his out-of-control nature. Or perhaps
because of it.
"Please, sir, don't be alarmed," she said in a quiet,
soothing voice as she stepped just an inch closer to him. "I
only want to help you."
His harsh bark of laughter cut through her like a knife, for
