They were getting nowhere fast when he suddenly invited her to his condominium for tea. There ,she, was thinking of giving him his pink slip. There ,he, was serving her Darjeeling, a sexy smile, a smoldering gaze, and an outrageous proposal--that thy have an affair!,Harry had been burned before by love. He wanted no pulls on his heart, no intrusions on his time, no dizzying of his logical mind. But he couldn't get Molly Abberwick out from under ,his, skin.
