The Purest of Diamonds? (2014)
“The mellow sunshine and the beautiful garden provided a deceptively soft frame for a hard man. A hard man with a mysterious past, Leila now knew, determined she would get to the bottom of the mystery.
Would she always feel this way when she saw him? Leila wondered as Raffa strode towards them. Yes, she realised as he flashed a quick smile. And this was her chance, maybe her only chance to find out what his grandmother had meant when she talked about Raffa’s concerns regarding Leila’s pregna...ncy. As soon as he was within earshot she sprang up. ‘Could we have a walk round your beautiful garden?’ she asked the dowager.
‘Of course. Rafael, please escort our guest.’ The heady scent of the flowers was intoxicating, but that was nothing compared to standing close to Raffa, only inches away...feeling his gaze on her back as she bent down to smell the roses, or feeling his breath brush her neck when she straightened up.
‘So, what’s this about?’ he said as they walked towards a small bridge across the stream that ran through the garden.MoreLess
