“I wish it was possible to marry you and live happily ever after. But it isn’t.”
Holly sat up. “I have to go.”
His comment had put a wedge between them. Graham realized he’d spoken with that intent. Don’t stop her from leaving, he ordered himself. But his hands operated on their own, reaching to stroke her back. She shivered in response.
“Kiss me good-night?” he asked.
His heartbeat quickened with the moment’s suspense as she fought a losing battle within herself. The fact that she didn’t stand a chance of winning it brought a fierce pleasure. He’d won this battle, he thought, as she leaned down, bringing her lips to his.
But would he win the war she waged against his bachelorhood?

Chapter One
“Hello. Is anyone here?” called a woman’s voice from the outer office. Then, in a more irritable tone she said, “No, Jennifer! Don’t sit on the floor! Justin, hold on to Aunt Lena’s hand!”
These instructions were met with childish whimpers of resistance, leading Graham to surmise that his visitor had a couple of small kids in tow. He got hurriedly to his feet and headed for the door. It was noon and his secretary, Angela, had gone to lunch. She was the mother of three and an expert on kids, so Graham relied on her to protect the premises from being trashed on those occasions—rare, but memorable—when a client brought his or her offspring along.
Graham was at a total loss when it came to dealing with children—an understandable deficiency, since he hadn’t spent much time in the company of small fry. The younger of two boys, he’d grown up with virtually no contact with infants or toddlers. It was silly, but Graham regarded the whole notion of fatherhood as extremely intimidating, feelings he always owned up to when questioned on the subject by women he dated.
As he headed down the hall to the outer offices, he reflected on his unmarried state and wondered whether his candor on the subject of children had acted as a roadblock, preventing any of his romantic involvements from leading to marriage. He’d been thinking about this more and more since he’d turned thirty recently.
