Brief Encounter

by Helen Mittermeyer

HE WAS A CHARMING PREDATOR. A Viking in a Savile Row suit, the stuff of dreams, that's how his admirers described Senator Perrin Draper Lodge. But to Luna McAfee, who knew him simply as Dray, he was a nightmare in the flesh. She'd never forgotten Germany, the whirlwind affair that had left her stunned, betrayed, shadowed by scandal. SHE WOULD NOT BECOME HIS PREY. She returned to Washington to practice law and escape the past. Until they met again--a shocking encounter fraught with memory and desire. Dray claimed innocence and refused to let her go. In spite of herself, Luna succumbed. And then it began: the surveillance, break-ins, threats to her clients and career. Dray said he feared for her life, that she would only be safe married to him. Why? Who wanted to hurt her? And how could Luna afford to trust her heart again?
