are being forced
to move out after they graduate high school and most don’t want to. Give one of
them a chance, help them learn some valuable skills.”
    She hated this. The lies. The secret world she had to live
in. Her life wasn’t meant to end up like this. But it had and it was damn
bittersweet. She had the two best kids in the world and nobody to share them
with. Well, she did have Mr. Wilkins, the only other person who knew what her
kids were, but her retired neighbor didn’t count.
    Time to lie and move on. Cindy would never understand. “Okay,
you’ve got a point. I’ll look into it.”
    Her eyes widened. “Great. Now you have time for a
relationship.” Cindy took her hand and yanked her back inside.
    She chuckled. It was impossible not to. Cindy looked so
happy. “Don’t get any crazy ideas. I am not going out with any of your husband’s
friends. No more blind dates, thank you very much.”
    “You don’t need any help from me, girlfriend. Once you drop
the ‘stay away from me’ glare you usually wear around members of the opposite
sex, you’ll have no problem picking up a guy.” Cindy looked her over, finger
tapping on her chin. “We might even have to beat them off you, especially if
you display your goods a little more.”
    She tugged at Jazz’s shirt until the lacy edge barely
covered her nipples.
    Jazz gasped and slapped her friend’s hands away. She quickly
righted her top and glared at her. She hated her goods . Her breasts were
too big for her frame but genetics was a crapshoot. You got whatever the DNA
mixing bowl dished out.
    “Stop it. I am not enticing any lewd perverts with a showing
of my goods .”
    Cindy raised her hands. “Just promise me you’ll keep an open
mind.”
    She bit back her sharp retort. Cindy meant well. It wasn’t
her fault Jazz had to keep men at arm’s length. Wasn’t hers either, but those
were the facts. Until her boys were grown and out of the house, she couldn’t
risk a man’s involvement in her private life. But maybe there was one man she
could consider. She grinned.
    “Fine. The next hot guy who shows any interest in me,” she
paused and thought about how Josh flirted with her every chance he got, “will
be the one I take home.”
    “Ummm, now that’s an offer I can’t resist.”
    Jazz pivoted and stared at the wide expanse of muscle in
front of her. A black tee stretched over a well-defined chest and stomach. Her
gaze slid down. A narrow waist met lean, denim-covered hips. She stared at the
growing bulge in his pants open-mouthed. An answering spark of arousal lighted
within her. Shivers of awareness, the same ones that had skipped down her spine
a few minutes ago, traveled from the hardening tips of her breasts to her clit.
The bundle of nerves seemed to suddenly take on a heartbeat of its own. She
squirmed and a low groan came from the man standing in front of her.
    He tipped her chin up until she met his eyes. Her heart
skipped a beat. Exotic, up-tilted honey-gold eyes were framed by long blond
lashes. Specks of color floated in those oddly bright eyes—brown, blue, green.
Beautiful and downright captivating. She couldn’t tear her gaze from them.
    Another low, appreciative sound spilled from him. Her gaze
dropped to his mouth. Full lips, parted slightly, glistened as if he’d licked
them. She swiped her tongue across her suddenly dry ones. Her breath came
faster and the fingers holding her chin tightened, not painfully, but more in
accompaniment of his moan. She slid her gaze to his and wondered if her eyes
betrayed her desire. His did. Half-lidded, dilated and drowsy, they mapped her
face before focusing on her mouth.
    “Am I hot enough for you?” His thumb traced the lips she’d
licked. “Because you’ve caught my attention.” He bent closer and warm,
cinnamon-scented breath bathed her face. “I’m interested, little female. Very,
very interested.”
    Jazz blinked but couldn’t make her mouth work. Up close the
man wasn’t
