The Homecoming

The Homecoming
Anne Marie Winston

After his son's disappearance, millionaire Danny Crosby couldn't go home again and fled to a private hideaway off the coast of Hawaii. But then a beautiful woman appeared out of nowhere, stumbling from the scene of an accident. He didn't know why she was there–or why he ached to hold her close.Sydney Aston had no recollection of her purpose in finding Danny or how she could fall so totally in love with this stranger. When the shards of memory returned, she realized her intention to reunite this tormented man with his son. Deep down, she hoped that this could be the homecoming for all of them….

Sydney turned her face into his neck and laid her head against his shoulder. Her breath whispered across his skin.

Danny’s breath caught in his throat and his heart stuttered. It would be so easy to draw her down onto the blanket they shared, to explore the feminine treasures of her body—

What was he thinking? A rogue wave of longing surged high and swept over him, urging him to drop his head and set his mouth against her soft pink lips. He wanted it so badly. Releasing her, he surged to his feet. “Well. We should get going if you want to see the rest of the island’s attractions.”

“Actually, I’m getting tired. It probably would be best if we went back and took a nap.”

Danny hadn’t imagined he’d ever feel such a strong need to make love again. It was almost a relief to know his body still yearned for feminine contact. But he didn’t need Sydney, he reminded himself forcefully. He didn’t need anyone, and the last thing he wanted was to be more involved in her life than he already was.
