Luke Desemond has been declared a fugitive, even though he didn't commit the crime he's been accused of. The only woman he can turn to is Ana Grange, with whom he went to law school. He's fallen in love with her, but can he keep his hands off her as she pleads his case?

Excerpt

Ana Grange’s heart leapt into her throat. How could Luke Desemond, a hunted felon, boldly walk into the courtroom as if he hadn’t a care in the world? She’d heard the radio broadcast earlier on her way to work. The cops were searching for him, as a ‘person of interest’, which in the law’s eyes translated to ‘wanted felon’, in a murder and robbery at a local bank.

His step was jaunty, and he looked neither right nor left, but straight at her with those tortured blue eyes that sent shivers down her spine. His hand-tailored, black suit fit his tall frame to perfection.

Heat curled in the pit of her stomach and lower. The last time she’d seen him was in law school, and she hadn’t known how to handle him then. The sexual attraction she’d felt for him had been explosive. He was the son of a rich man, and she the daughter of farmers from Minnesota, and although they had been studying law in the same class, Luke had a masculine virility about him that frazzled her nerve endings. He’d asked for her help several times, which she’d given him, their heads bent over books while their eyes had sent hot daggers of lust at each other.

Ana had recognised the pitfalls of sex with him, known she’d fallen impetuously in love with him—or had that been infatuation? After all, she’d come from a small rural community, and he appeared so urbane and savvy.

As the years had gone on, she’d thought about him often enough. When she made love in her dreams, it was always to a man who had Luke’s handsome face and gorgeous body. What would have happened if they’d made love to each other?

Now he was here. Her heart pounded erratically. She ‘still’ wanted him, but this time she wouldn’t run if the opportunity for sex arose. Which it shouldn’t. Luke wasn’t here for her. Why was he here?
