âDoes That Blush Go All Over, Honey?â
Joeyâs grin was too conceited for words. âLet me see.â
He yanked at Heatherâs blanket, but gently, just to tease her. She held on ferociously.
âYouâre in a different mood this morning, my pet,â he said.
âIâm not...your pet...â
âLast night you were most...affectionate. You couldnât get enough of me. You were...we were...well, pretty incredible.â
Her gut twisted in fresh shame. âI donât believe you.â
âFine. Suit yourself.â He chuckled, but her words had wiped that tender eagerness from his gaze. âYour head hurts, Iâll bet. You probably donât remember much.... Lucky for you, I remember everything. So, if you get curious, I could describe our night together in the most vivid detail. In fact, Iâd love to do so.â
She clamped her hands over her ears. âIâm living in a nightmare.... How could you sink so low as to seduce me?â
âYou have it all backwards. You seduced me. For your information, I put up one hell of a fight defending my...er...virtue.â

Dear Reader,
I love writing for the MAN OF THE MONTH promotional miniseries in Silhouette Desire, and Iâm especially honored that my hero Joey Fasano is Desireâs 125th MAN OF THE MONTH!
If I could have three wishes, one of them would be to hop into my manâs brain, so I could figure out once and for all what makes him do and say all those illogical things that drive me crazy. Writing from the male point of view is the next best thing.
I think I get a little carried away with this sometimes. I tend to invent heroes who are larger-than-life, difficult and pushy. My guys love deeply and completely, especially when they donât want to. They have trouble with the ânoâ word. They want what they want, and they go after it. In short, they are every bit as maddeningly adorable as the real man in my life.
No-fantasy haunts me more than the man from the past showing up on the heroineâs doorstep and turning her life topsy-turvy.
My hero in this latest story, Joey Fasano, bad boy turned movie star, has become a force unto himself. Heâs never forgotten Heather, his first love, and once he sees her again, he realizes how empty his life and soul are without her. He canât go on, if he doesnât win her. Such a love is worth fighting for.
I hope you enjoy Joey and Heatherâs story.
Best,
Prologue
Maybe everybody was right after all. Maybe Joey Fasano was too wild and too passionate and too damned no-account for his own good.
