An old rage overtook him. He had stopped letting people treat him like crap decades ago. He no longer just took it because that’s what he needed to do to stay in an apartment or get food. That kid grew up, got a badge, and refused to give anyone the power to make him feel unworthy again. Then along came Deana and he morphed back into that stupid poor kid again.

That was the second time Josh exited a room and left her staring at a closed door. The guy knew how to get the most drama from a situation.
Deana’s bigger concern centered on how in just a few seconds he had managed to make her insides puddle. When he had moved in close and she inhaled that masculine mix of sunshine and musk that clung to his skin, her resistance shattered into a million pieces.
