As David Logan investigates a black-market baby ring in Russia, heâs reunited with the woman he regretted leaving behind years agoâ¦
Elizabeth Duncan had finally made it to Russia.
David knew her visit had nothing to do with himâthey hadnât been in contact since theyâd parted company the evening heâd flown to Moscow. Still, heâd come to this embassy party in hopes of catching a glimpse of her. Maybe more than a glimpseâ¦
He looked across the room and caught a view of a beautiful redhead in a black gown. The slender straps holding up the dress offered possibilities. He began walking toward her.
âLiz?â
She turned slowly, teasing him first with her profile and then with her whole, incredible face. Those large green eyes and full lips. Heat sizzled between them.
âDavid Logan,â she said, her voice exactly as he remembered. âI wondered if Iâd run into you here.â
Sheâd thought of himâ¦and the news pleased him more than it should have.

âI need a man with good hands,â Liz Duncan murmured to herself as she studied the sketch, then the beautiful blond female model sheâd hired for the afternoon.
âDonât we all?â Marguerite said as she adjusted the baby she held, then tossed her long hair back over her shoulder. âThatâs why they wrote a song about it.â
Liz tilted her head. Something about the scene wasnât right. The proportion, she thought. With a man holding the baby, the image would be more powerful and evocative. Margueriteâs fingers were too delicate, her palms too narrow.
âA song about what?â Liz asked absently.
âSlow hands, honey. Get with the program. If youâre going to get a man, get a good one. Make sure he knows what heâs doing.â
Liz glanced at the tall, slender nineteen-year-old. âIâm talking about work.â
âIâm not.â
âYou never are.â Liz flipped through her sketches, then shook her head. âYou can put her down. Weâre done.â
âSure, boss.â She carefully placed the sleeping baby back into the bassinet and lightly touched her cheek. âThanks for the good time, kid.â She looked at Liz. âYou really done with me?â
âSure. Iâll let the agency know I changed my mind about the assignment, not that you didnât work out.â
âI appreciate that.â
Marguerite collected her large tote bag and walked out of the room. Liz crossed to the bassinet and stared at the sleeping baby. The infantâs tiny features stirred her heart.
âI wouldnât mind taking you home with me, little one,â she murmured. âToo bad this is all about work.â
After wheeling the baby back to the nursery, Liz wandered the halls of Childrenâs Connection, the nonprofit adoption and fertility center that had hired her to do the artwork for its new brochure. Sheâd been on manhunts before, but never in connection with her work.
