But Dominick's passionate kisses soon convinced Gina she was no longer awestruck, but lovestruck -- and she longed to be trapped in Dominick's arms forever.
To have gotten past his guards, Dominick knew the lovely lady who appeared in his bed must be a spy. To discover her mission he planned to woo her with kindness and keep a close eye on her actions -- not a hardship, he had to admit, as he admired her slender figure and fiery green eyes. Soon, however, he realized his actions were no subterfuge and as he held the beauty in his arms he knew he had uncovered a love for all time.
