"What woman wouldn't like all those glittering diamonds?" From directly behind me, a sexy yet unfamiliar voice vibrated in my ear.
The question intrigued me. "One with substance perhaps?" I answered without turning. Both my heart and my gaze refocused on my ring of choice.
"And wit," the man added with obvious admiration. I clasped my hands behind my back.
"Good taste," I responded, enjoying the innocent game.
The answering chuckle, deep and resonant, captured my interest, diverting me from choosing the circular band that would forever bind me to Peter, my future husband. "It takes brains to see beyond the dazzle of diamonds," the stranger said, approval marking his masculine drawl.
"I suppose." Curiosity aroused, I turned toward the voice, my long skirt floating around my bare legs as I moved. The sensual voice tantalized but hadn't deceived. A ruggedly handsome man smiled at me. My gaze locked with his. Hazel eyes flecked with gold shimmered beneath the afternoon sun, and laugh lines bracketed a sensuous mouth.
Those mesmerizing eyes studied me intently. "Real beauty speaks for itself."
My cheeks heated at the unexpected compliment. "Thank you," I murmured.
"Just stating the obvious."
Embarrassed, I acknowledged his words with a nod. I felt a connection with this stranger, one that defied logic. With long sandy hair streaked by the sun and the sexy way he rocked on the heels of worn hiking boots, he oozed wildness and danger, raw masculinity and cocky confidence. I brushed at my bangs with trembling hands. I preferred tame and safe. This man was anything but.
"So, what attracts you?" he asked. His gaze lingered on me an instant too long before darting to the jewel-filled window.
You do. The unbidden thought rocketed through my brain.
