closed door and a part of her wished there was more going on between her and Tyson than physical attraction. The sexual vibes they emitted whenever they were together were so strong she bet a person walking across the street could pick up on it.
    And that kiss...
    Just thinking about it made her weak in the knees so she moved around her desk and sat down. The kiss had started off gentle and when she began participating, mingling her tongue with his, it had gotten downright passionate to a degree she’d never experienced before. Who kissed like that? Evidently Tyson Steele did. She didn’t recall the one time they’d kissed back in high school having this type of effect on her. He had definitely gotten experience over the years. The man knew how to use his tongue in a way that could be destructive to a woman’s mind. It had definitely obliterated her common sense. For a minute there she hadn’t wanted him to stop and had been disappointed when he’d done so.
    The kiss had evidently affected him, too. She had been able to feel the heat radiating from his body as he kissed her. And when she had wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body closer to his, she had felt evidence of his desire. His huge erection had pressed into her middle and all she could think about was how it would feel inside her.
    Like in her dreams .
    Hunter drew in a deep breath. That kiss had gotten out of hand, and on top of that, she had agreed to have dinner with him at his place. What could she have been thinking? Tyson had told her what he wanted from her and now he probably thought it was within his reach. That was the last thing she wanted him to think.
    Hunter was about to pull her cell phone out of her purse to call Tyson and cancel dinner when it rang. She frowned when she recognized the ringtone. Why would Nadine Robinson be calling her? She hadn’t talked to her mother-in-law in over two years. Not since Hunter had filed for a divorce. Carter’s father, Lewis Robinson, had forbidden the family from having anything to do with Hunter for divorcing his son.
    Curiosity got the best of her so she clicked on the phone. “Yes, Nadine?”
    â€œHunter? Glad I was able to reach you. I was afraid you had changed your number.”
    It was on the tip of Hunter’s tongue to say although she hadn’t changed her phone number, she had blocked certain callers from getting through, like Nadine’s son. She would have blocked Nadine’s number as well, but figured the older woman had no reason to ever call her.
    â€œThis is a surprise, Nadine. What can I do for you?” Hunter decided to get straight to the point. There was no reason for her and the woman to engage in friendly chitchat.
    â€œI called to warn you. About Carter.”
    Hunter lifted a brow. “Why would you want to warn me about Carter?”
    â€œHis world is falling apart. He’s losing clients right and left and several employees have quit.”
    That didn’t surprise Hunter. Although Carter had underhandedly taken her clients away, she figured it was only a matter of time before he lost them. As for the employees, although Carter was a pretty good architect, he lacked people skills, so that wasn’t a shocker.
    â€œThat’s not my problem, Nadine.”
    â€œI know, but he intends to make it your problem.”
    Hunter drew in a breath. “And how does he think he can do that?”
    â€œI overheard him and Lewis talking. They’ve come up with a plan for you to return to Boston and get back with Carter.”
    When hell freezes over . Hunter sat up straight in her chair. “What plan?”
    â€œCarter will be in Phoenix on business in a few weeks and he plans to look you up when he gets there. He told Lewis he will apologize to you for all he’s done, tell you how much he regrets losing you and that he can’t live without you. The plan is to tug on your heartstrings.”
