Published in the Love and Legends anthology She said she could resist him. She was wrong... Miss Edwina Sheffield has three goals in life: 1. Learn to control her telekinesis. 2. Become a venatori—a hunter for the sorcerous Order of the Dawn Star—and prove all the naysayers wrong. 3. And resist the temptation to kiss her arrogant and far-too-charming employer, Lord Sterling Reed. But when one of their cases goes dangerously awry, and she finds herself in his arms, she breaks rule number three. Obviously, the only answer is to resign. Edwina Sheffield is trouble. She’s proud. Stubborn. And she wears the most atrocious gowns known to man. But Sterling’s caught a glimpse of the devilish red ribbons of her garters, and now he knows the truth.... His mousy secretary hides a wicked side. He’s spent three years trying to keep his hands off her. Three years trying to ignore the feelings she conjures... Until the day she kisses him. And then practically throws her resignation letter in his lap. If Edwina thinks that Sterling’s going to allow her to ignore what happened, then she has another think coming. All bets are off. And when a new case crosses his desk—a reawakened dead lady in Bletsoe—suddenly, he has a reason to tempt her. Join the case as his partner. Earn her venatori pin. And give him the chance to show her how he really feels. What could possibly go wrong?
