EXCERPT:
Olivia shivered when Mitch placed his hand on the small of her back and guided
her to the dance floor. He smiled. Her attempt to disguise her emotions failed.
It wasn’t the two-step, but a slow dance. He pulled her close, aware he had a
captive audience and she’d have to hear him out. He whispered in her ear.
“Olivia, there are things I need to explain. I want to get to know you better. I
know it’s difficult to date a doctor. My life is not my own, but you need to
know how attracted I am to you.”
