The living room of Harry Hunt’s lakeside mansion in Seattle glowed
with warm light. Two matching Tiffany chandeliers were suspended from
the high ceiling at each end of the spacious room, their stained-glass
flowers vibrant with color. Outside, the rain and wind of a Pacific
Northwest storm picked up speed as it raced across Lake Washington to
hammer against the window glass. Inside, the people gathered in the big
room were warm and comfortable, thanks to the fire crackling in the hearth
beneath the hand-carved cedar mantel.
Frankie Fairchild rose from an overstuffed armchair and crossed the
room to the bar, leaving her mother, Cornelia, chatting animatedly with Lily
Hunt. Several bottles were clustered on the gleaming mahogany surface,
and Frankie chose one with a distinctive label. The tart white wine from the
Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery just north of Seattle was a personal favorite.
She tilted the bottle to refill her glass.
As she sipped from the stemmed crystal, her gaze drifted idly over the
room, pausing at the sight of her cousin Justin’s little daughter, Ava,
hopping along the edge of the oriental wool carpet.
Harry’s neighbor, local actress Madge Edgley, bent to speak to Ava as the
child reached the quartet of people chatting together on the bright red and
blue carpet.
Harry always invites the nicest mix of friends and interesting people to
his get-togethers, Frankie thought with appreciation. She moved on, noting
familiar faces in the groups of people scattered around the long room, until
she reached the group of men standing in front of the fireplace. Her uncle
Harry and his son Justin were deep in conversation with two other men.
Frankie knew one of them—Nicholas Dean—only slightly. The fourth man
she knew very well. Eli Wolf was tall and broad-shouldered, with black hair
and a rugged handsomeness that could make a woman’s heart stutter if he
smiled directly at her.
Eli looked up, snaring her with an intent look from smoky blue eyes.
Frankie froze, unable to look away.
It wasn’t until he turned to answer a question from Harry that Frankie
realized she’d been holding her breath, caught by that enigmatic, very male
stare.
She spun around to face the bar, topping off her wine with faintly
trembling fingers.
What on earth is wrong with me?
Ever since Eli had given her a kiss at her last birthday party, she’d been
thinking about him much too often. The kiss had sizzled, smoked, even
though it was too short. In fact, the memory of his mouth on hers hadn’t
faded in the four months since; if she closed her eyes, she could still feel the
heat. She’d actually conducted an experiment over the last couple of
months, purposefully kissing three other very attractive men. Though all
three were adept, practiced and assured at kissing, none of them had stirred
one iota of serious interest, let alone lust. She’d felt nothing remotely
resembling what she’d felt with Eli. Zero. Zip. Nada.
It was very annoying.
