that all was as it had been—untouched.
    Damn it.
    Stumbling around the unfamiliar surroundings to find the bathroom, she noticed the familiar smells of the promise of a hearty breakfast. Proudly call her Pavlov’s dog, because her mouth watered on cue and her stomach growled in acknowledgment of the promise of a great breakfast.
    “Someone is a great host or hostess,” she said more to herself than anything, when she saw the clear, strong handwriting of a note letting her know the toiletries underneath were there for her. Whoever this was, had the initial O. “O—I don’t know anyone with the first name of O.” She’d have to figure that one out before she emerged from the bedroom.
    Celia did have good home training, no matter what her current situation might be. She washed up and found her clothes laundered and folded neatly by the claw foot tub she’d just showered in. Whoever her hosts were, were doing her right. This was so nice of them.
    She dressed fast and looked around for any photos of her angel couple to help jog her memory. There were no picture frames or anything that suggested anyone lived here except for an extremely neat person. The idea of going through the chest of drawers or closet for clues was beyond tacky. So, she’d have to wing it.
    Going back into the neat bathroom to check out her appearance and make herself as presentable as possible. The door to the little room swung closed enough for a flash of blue, hanging on the back of the door, to catch her attention out the corner of her eye. There was something familiar about that item. Where had she seen it before?
    She turned to find a worn blue baseball cap hanging from the hook of the bathroom door. A flood of memories filled in gaps to her previous day. That cap. It had taunted and teased her. It had been the one thing she’d tried to focus on while she climbed down from that building. It was the wolf’s cap from yesterday!
    Prickling heat of arousing confusion, embarrassment, anger and a whole lot of other jumbled up feelings pushed their way up to the forefront of her mind. They all fought for attention.
    “Breathe, Celia. This doesn’t mean you’ve landed in the bed of the big sexy wolf. Can’t be. This is the home of someone else. Someone else who happens to own the same baseball cap. Yeah, that’s it.” She sucked in short breaths, attempting to remain calm. Now wasn’t the time to freak out. “Keep it together and figure out a way to climb out of the bathroom or bedroom window. Hell do something. You’ve got this.” She ran back into the bedroom, looking for a way to get out of the window without detection.

    “That should be all. Thanks again,” Owain said to the man helping him with his morning lumber supply order. He was in a great mood and had more pep in his step than usual. He’d enjoyed spending time with the spitfire, aka Celia last night. But, today was a new day and life still went on—even if all he wanted to do was spend time with her, back at his home. He also had a business to run.
    A normal work day started very early and he hadn’t wanted to wake his overnight guest up this morning. He’d planned it all out. Owain had gotten up early than usual. Washed her clothes, ran errands to make sure she had toiletries for when she woke. Now, he was about to finish up the errands only he could do for the business. Then back to the house to spend time with her. By the looks of things, she’d had a hard time of it. Instead, he’d done what he could to make sure she was comfortable before going along with his morning duties.
    Last night, after she’d collapsed and he was sure she’d only fainted, he took her back to his place. Remembering to remove any constricting clothes for her to sleep better, he’d undressed her and put her to bed. Her clothes needed a good washing and she was no better with all the grime from the building smeared all over her.
    He marveled at how soundly she slept,
