This little woman was really made for him.   “You like shocking me, don't you?”          Under his scrutiny, Phoebe started blushing like crazy, and then she closed her eyes. She was very conscious of the tiny smooth shifts with which he was easing his hungry passage all the way inside her.“Please… stop talking about it now,” she mumbled. “We’ll talk later…” Phoebe added willing to enjoy this new and fascinating experience.       &n

          After rearranged the book display in the window for the third time that day, Phoebe left out a tearful sigh.“Would you like a cup of coffee, Phoebs?” Stephen Finlay suggested.          It was raining cats and dogs outside and there wasn't a customer in the entire shop. Phoebe focused on her boss’s face, the kindly concern visible in his lined features, and forced a strained smile.“That would be lovely, Stephen... thanks.”          Grateful that the older man would never dream of asking her questions about what happened, Phoebe stood behind the counter sipping her coffee and watching the rain stream down the window and the door.          She had been back home for two days, but what had happened in Italy haunted her more with ev

But when she was with him, the notion of time different than what she knew. In the space of an hour, Phoebe had learned that she was expecting a baby and she was going to get married. It was too much to take in all at once...          Lorenzo wanted to marry her. Was this real or was she part of a fairytale? Was he feeling pressured to propose because of the pregnancy? Was he for real? Alright, so her father had been a creep, and on that basis, Phoebe had judged all males.          But Lorenzo wasn’t like the other men... Not entirely, anyway.
