Even though Jessica has only been out with Wiley once, she can't help thinking about him either. He has made her feel things she hasn't felt since her husband and daughter died a year ago. When it seemed as if Jessica was not making Red Rock a home, Wiley took fate into his own hands and went to Texas to encourage Jessica to give Red Rock a try.

Favourite Scene: (the hero is drunk and thinks he's dreaming)  

'No!' she choked again, 'Get your hands off me, you...'Tut, tut, tut,' he scolded, a long, incredibly sensitive finger coming out to tap her scorching cheek. 'This is my dream,' he announced. 'And I like my nymphs willing, not naughty. Well, maybe a little naughty,' he then amended on a husky little laugh.

Favourite Scene:

Cesare glared at her frustratedly for several long seconds before leaning forward across the table to easily hold her startled gaze with his. ‘Perhaps I should warn you that at this moment this tabletop is looking very tempting as a place to make love to you!’ he hissed between gritted teeth.

Favourite Scene:

But when she’d looked at him, really looked at the discoloured and puckered skin on his shoulder, the scars that crisscrossed his body, there’d been no repulsion in her eyes.
None.
It had been the most intensely sexual moment of his entire life. Her eyes had travelled down the length of his body. She’d seen every imperfection, must have seen his arousal…
And she’d not rejected him.
