      Chapter One

      O f all the friggin' times it has to rain! Alicia Miles struggled to climb through the bedroom window. Why the hell had she forgotten her keys—again? Thankfully, she always left her bedroom window unlocked, though it only opened about twelve-inches. Any thief would have to be a child or anorexic. Though she was naturally slim, she had the ass of a Brazilian dancer, thanks to her mother.

      She grunted, trying to squeeze her bottom half through the small opening. Once again, she reminded herself to get copies of her keys made and leave them with her friend and neighbor, Heather.

      As her arms dangled inside the house, her legs hanging outside, a gust of wind blew her summer dress up. Her bedroom window was at the side of the house and nobody could probably see her bare bottom, but she still felt on display to the world.

      This is never going to work. She would have to call a locksmith.

      Red always was my favorite color. Alicia yelped as she felt familiar, strong hands around her waist, helping her out of the window and onto the ground. She looked up and Cole smiled down at her, one dark eyebrow raised high. Though I never knew thongs were your style.

      Her hand shook as she pushed her wet hair out of her face. Even though they'd been divorced for over a year he still caused her heart to race whenever she saw him. That wicked smile and those soul-melting meadow-green eyes always did it. The fact that he had raindrops clinging to his thick lashes didn't help any.

      In the next instant painful memories doused out any flames of desire the man ignited in her. She ignored his playful teasing, hitched her chin up, and said, You're early. Where are the girls?

      He thumbed behind him. Waiting in the car. I wanted to make sure you were home. I tried calling but it went straight to voicemail. Forget your keys again? He grinned, and she didn't know if he was making fun of her or lightening the moment. No matter how hard she tried, things always seemed to border on chaos in her life. She was notoriously late for appointments, misplaced everything from her car keys to the kids' shoes, and usually forgot half the things she needed when she was at the store.

      It's not that she was an idiot, she simply had so much going on in her mind. What would she make for dinner? Who had a dental appointment? When was the gas bill due? After the divorce, her brain took a flying leap off the deep end and things only got worse now that she'd been a single mother for a while, though she did her best. The house hadn't caught fire and the kids were clean and fed. She had her own business and bills were paid. It wasn't all that bad.

      The look on Cole’s face was one of ... pity, reprimand, frustration? Probably all three, Alicia grudgingly mused.

      Though summer rains were quite warm in Baltimore, a chill seeped into her bones. She wrapped her arms around her waist, looked at the half-opened bedroom window, and nodded. Yeah, I forgot my keys. She hoped to sound irritated, but even to her own ears her voice sounded defeated. While in this man’s company all she wanted to do was melt into his embrace and let him handle her every care. In some ways, she still felt like the fragile and naive seventeen-year-old she had been when she'd first met him.

      Yet so much had changed in nearly two decades. They were older now, wiser in some ways, guarded in others. Only the twins kept them tied together and she wasn't sure if it was good or bad. On days like this when everything had gone wrong since she stumbled out of bed this morning, then seeing him standing before her still as gorgeous as ever, even with the splash of salt and pepper hair at his temples, she wished she could go back in time and tear up those damn divorce papers. But, it had been her idea. It was the only way she could heal from her loss and avoid the arguments. She and Cole had been through hell and back, and it had done irreparable damage.

      I don't know why you can't give me a copy of your key. It's not like I'll break in and steal your shit. Alicia could tell that Cole was getting impatient with her. He probably wanted to get back to his girlfriend. Images of Cole and the other woman making love filled her head and spilled over into her heart. Two months ago, that had been her. The twins were sick with the flu and the first person she had called was Cole. She made the excuse to herself that her parents lived three-thousand miles away in Southern California and Cole lived just a few miles away.

      Without hesitation, he had gone to the drugstore for Pedialyte and children's Tylenol then stayed until the girls fell asleep. He was on his way out the door, lingering there, waiting for something. She had touched his arm, noting it was just as firm as it had been when he was a teenager. Though instincts told her to pull back, she allowed her palm to run the length of his bicep, his pecs, loving the familiar feeling she had come to depend on.

      In the next instant, he hauled her into his arms, kissing her hard, as if every ounce
