SURPRISED BYA KISS

The last thing he needed was the arrival of Jonathan Forrester's long-lost daughter, Miss High and Mighty from the East. But when the blonde minx sashayed off the train and he saw the fire in her violet eyes, he couldn't resist a touch -- then a kiss that sent his senses reeling. Suddenly all Cole wanted was to caress every inch of her silken flesh, then claim her as his very own CALIFORNIA TEMPTRESS
