Elizabeth Wakefield thought she was seeing things when William White came back into her life. But William actually survived the accident she'd believed killed him - and he's changed. His handsome face is heartbreakingly scarred, and he's humble, caring, and sensitive. In fact, William staged the entire Virtual Reality Fair just to win Elizabeth back. And it's working . . .
William White's timing couldn't have been more perfect. He breezed into Elizabeth's life just when her love for Tom Watts was falling apart. Once Elizabeth succumbs to William's spell, he's going to make her pay for everything she put him through. And he's going to love every minute of it . . .
Elizabeth leaned over to her desk and easily located the paper she wanted. She scooted her mug to one side and placed the list on the TV tray. "Can you see all right, or do you need more light?"
"Well, I'm afraid I can't see as well as I used to." William scooted his chair closer to hers. "But I'm fine if I get close enough to what I'm trying to read."
"let me show you some of the things I've found."
As they leaned together over the list, William's handsome left side was all she could see. Suddenly she shivered. She was being drawn to him like a magnet to steel, just the way she'd been when they had first met, and now, just like then, she couldn't stop herself. He was so refined and fascinating . . . so polite and . . . and . . . appealing. He was everything Tom wasn't. Smooth, wealthy, brilliant . . . and he smelled so inviting.
William leaned closer. Elizabeth closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of William's warm breath tickling against her cheek . . . her neck. She was like a cold, shivering creature being invited into a soft, warm cocoon, His hand accidentally brushed hers, and her heart fluttered nervously.
"Elizabeth," he whispered, leaning closer.
Moistening her lips, she waited expectantly for his kiss.
