In Mcgillivray's Bed (2004)
“But despite her protestations to the contrary, Sydney fell asleep almost at once. For reasons she hesitated to examine too closely, the solid warmth of McGillivray’s hard body next to hers, the possessive feel of his arm around her and the steady sound of his breathing so close that it might have been her own worked a magic she wouldn’t have believed possible.
One minute she was astonished at his presumption—and the next she was sound asleep.

For the ...first time that night when she’d closed her eyes, Roland hadn’t come back to haunt her. In fact, all the stresses of life at St. John Electronics had been blessedly absent. Even her father had stayed away.
When she finally opened her eyes, it was to find the sun already high in the sky. And even then it was the sound of youthful voices, laughing and talking as they passed the open window, that finally awakened her.
She heard them and the sound of the surf, she felt the lazy breeze of an overhead fan and not the hum of air conditioning and for a few seconds she couldn’t imagine where she was.MoreLess
