Her job as resident investigator at Whitman Enterprises is to track down the owners of delinquent accounts, but something about Dane’s case is off, and Marnie can’t resist a good mystery.

Excerpt:
Damn. This
was his room. She knew it. It smelled of him. She pressed her ear to the door,
wondering if he’d follow her upstairs. She heard nothing.
Throwing
herself on the bed, she pulled quilts that smelled of MacLain to her face and
rolled to her side. Thoughts of his hands on her, his kisses—it was all she
could think about, all she wanted to think about. She was shaking in reaction,
and then suddenly she was afraid.
Reality,
the bitch that she was, would not be denied. There was nothing more dangerous than
wanting something you couldn’t have. What was she doing? She’d been down this
road before. She knew better.
Marnie
threw her feet over the edge of the bed, patted the quilt a few times, and then
forced herself to do what was necessary. She walked to the bedroom door and
locked it for her own good. MacLain’s, too. Then she lay back in bed. She told
herself she wasn’t waiting to see if he would follow her. She wasn’t waiting to
see if he wanted to continue that crazy, passionate embrace they’d started in the
kitchen. She wasn’t. Because then she’d have to care if he didn’t come to the
door. She’d have to mourn her fantasies, two months in the making, and set them
free despite knowing she and MacLain would be attached at the hip for the
foreseeable future. She wasn’t sure which was worse, him not coming, or her
sending him away.
Who was
she kidding? If he didn’t come, she’d die.
It took
five minutes. He tried the knob, found it was locked, and then he knocked. She
wanted to open the door. She wanted a lot in life, but there were some things
she’d learned weren’t for people like Marnie. Reach for it, and you got burned.
Dane MacLain was one of those things. She’d rather burn for him now than be
burned by him later.
He didn’t
knock again. But once was enough for her. That once would keep her warm, would
fuel her dreams and be consolation for things that couldn’t be. She gathered
the quilt to her chest and curled up into a ball, wondering how she’d gotten
herself in this mess.
