For Evie Rivers, eight weeks in the Hamptons is the perfect opportunity to get her dreams of being a romance writer off the ground. She's planning to keep to herself and finish her first novel. But then she meets Adam Walker, and everything changes.

He was so at ease, walking into my house wrapped in a towel, that I had to remind myself we had only just met. Scurrying in, I quickly busied myself scrunching up newspaper and stacking the fireplace with kindling and logs while Adam gazed around the room. Max sniffed at everything that was within reach before finding the rug by the hearth to be the most comfortable place to flop down.

“Here, allow me.” Adam squatted beside me, the movement making his towel flap open dangerously high. I quickly averted my eyes, then took a sneaky look back down. The towel was only just covering the good bits, as the muscles in his legs flexed to support his weight and hold him stable.

I racked my brain, trying to think of something to say, but it had been a very long time since I had been this close to an attractive man, and never this close to a nearly naked one, other than my ex-husband Charles. Being with Charles had never given me these butterflies; he was comfortable to be around, like a friend you felt safe with. This guy made me want to run away and launch myself at him all at the same time.

Adam looked down at his lack of clothing. “We’d better head home. I need to get dressed.” He moved for the door. “Come on, buddy, let’s go.”

Max’s tail thumped once. His eyes opened for a moment, then closed again.

“Come on, Maxie.” Adam patted his thigh. “Max. Come.”

I stifled my snigger as Max settled in, relishing the comfort of the rug and open fire after his swim in the freezing water.

“He can stay here. It’s no trouble,” I offered. “I can bring him over later or…”

“I’ll come back in a little while after I get some clothes on.” His eyes swept over me. “I’ll see you soon, Buttercup.”

The door closed and Adam’s broad back descended the stairs to the beach and disappeared around the corner.

Did he just call me Buttercup?
