You made me look a complete idiot,' said Philip. 'Walking out like that."'
She kept her tone matter-of-fact. 'I didn't think you'd notice I was gone.'
Oh, come off it, Cory. I told you-I ran into some old friends-lost track of time rather. And I'm sorry if you felt neglected.' He paused. 'But I'll make it up to you.' His voice became chummy, almost intimate. Why don't we have dinner? I promise I'll give you my undivided attention." Cory gave her cordless phone receiver a look of blank disbelief. She said politely, 'I don't think so, thanks. We don't have enough in common.
'Look, Cory.' He sounded hectoring again. "I've apologised. I don't know what else you want me to say."
"Goodbye would do quite well."
'Oh, very amusing. Know something, Cory? It's time you got off that high horse of yours and came down to earth, or you're going to end up a sad old maid. Because I don't know what you want from a man.
And I suspect you don't know either.' She said, 'It's quite simple, Philip. I want kindness. And you just don't qualify. She replaced her receiver, cutting off his spluttering reply . . .
Rome d'Angelo could have his pick of women . . . only a fiancรฉe had already been chosen for him, by his grandfather! A family feud meant Rome was being forced into a vengeful seduction: he must make Cory Grant his bride, and then jilt her . . .
Heiress Cory was used to men wanting her for her money. But Rome seemed genuinely interested in her . . . was this the real thing?
Rome was amazed to find himself finding Cory's innocence so sexy. Perhaps, instead of jilting her, he should marry her!
