Madison shivered from the cold blast of air through the open door ? not to mention the heat of Nathan's assessing gaze. She had only been waiting for Nathan for a few minutes in the small lobby area of Nathan Tours, but it had been long enough to make her edgy, nervous.

After her day of total self-indulgence at the Hearthside spa, she'd felt ready to tackle the world. She'd charged over to the small log cabin that housed Nathan's business with a great sense of adventure and purpose, but in those moments of waiting, a few of her self-doubts crept back.

What if this man was more adventure than she could handle?

She watched as Nathan said goodbye to a friend he called J.D. ? a tall, broad-shouldered man with a slow, deliberate step. And then, before she knew it, Nathan had parted with his companion and was turning toward her, giving her his complete, undivided attention.

It was a heady thing.

His hazel eyes missed nothing, his hot gaze making her heart kick up its pace. But other than those sharp, steady eyes, Nathan bore little resemblance to the man in perfectly creased Armani trousers from last night.

Today, he wore a blue parka and jeans with boots. As he closed the cabin door behind them and unzipped his coat, Madison spied the gray T-shirt with a navy and hunter green flannel shirt over top of it. He looked more like a lumberjack than a scion of Wall Street the way he had last night.

Curious about the man ? and not quite ready to admit the purpose of her visit ? Madison couldn't resist asking him about it.

"Flannel by day and Armani by night?" she prodded, hoping she wasn't being too nosy. "Sort of makes a girl wonder which is the real you."

Hanging his jacket on the wooden coat tree by the door, Nathan's hazel gaze wandered over her. Slowly.

A hungry fire leaped up inside her where there had been a slow sizzle.

He wandered closer, caused her skin to tighten and tingle. Plucking up her hand, he studied her fresh manicure in Provocative Pomegranate and enclosed her newly sloughed and smoothed fingers in his own.

"A half-naked mermaid by night and a spa maven by day." He grazed her palm with his thumb, a tiny caress with maximum seductive power. "I could ask the same question of you, Madison."
