seen.
    Especially now, when he seemed like any other man.
    A more imposing man than most others, true, but still just a man who was human, vulnerable, and…touchable.
    He sat at a table poring over his paperwork, his shirtsleeves rolled up, his tie now gone, his brow furrowed with concentration and his face weighed down with fatigue.
    But he glanced up when they came in and looked straight at Liza.
    Liza’s feet slowed and stopped, leaving her frozen and exposed. As a television journalist she was used to bright lights and people staring at her, but the senator’s intense interest was somehow different.
    Standing quickly, he came around the table, and Liza’s skittering heart went into overdrive. Thankfully he kept his distance and stopped when he got within three feet of her.
    Making no effort to hide what he was doing, he stared at her with shrewd eyes, studying and assessing. Liza kept her chin up and submitted to this appraisal, somehow holding his unfathomable gaze even though it was too bright, too powerful and too curious.
    Liza forced a breath into her straining lungs and waited for him to speak. He didn’t. Adena, apparently growing impatient with all this silence, cleared her throat. This, finally, spurred Senator Warner to action.
    “Thanks, Adena.” His deep voice, which was commanding and impressive at rallies and on the Senate floor, was now low, husky and as enticing as the stroke of velvet across Liza’s skin. “I can take it from here.”
    “But—” Adena began.
    “I’ll catch up with you in the conference room.”
    There was no arguing with the senator when he spoke in that tone, and Adena seemed to know it even if she didn’t like it. Her expression dour, she crept toward the door at a glacial pace, showing every sign of not wanting to leave the two of them alone together.
    Liza wondered whether the two were lovers. They’d worked together for years and spent every waking moment together on campaign business, so they definitely had the opportunity—
    Wait a minute. Wait, wait, WAIT. What the hell was she doing?
    Liza shook her head to get rid of the weird thoughts and remembered two things.
    First, from all reports, the senator was leading the celibate life of a priest.
    Second, Adena was married.
    Not that it would ever be Liza’s business anyway.
    Period. End of story. Over and out.
    And then, even though Liza was nowhere near ready, Adena left, leaving Liza alone with John Warner.

    Chapter 4
    L iza had never been this close to the senator before, and being the focal point of his attention was an intoxicating experience, especially because he seemed too interested in studying her to interrupt his perusal with, say, blinking.
    The air between them shifted until it crackled with its own energy, a living thing with a power Liza didn’t understand and couldn’t control.
    Realizing she could no longer hold his piercing gaze any more than she could stand on the equator at noon and stare at the sun, she looked away on the pretext of checking out this unfamiliar part of the plane.
    A lame conversation starter popped into her head at last, but she had to clear her voice twice before it worked. “Nice cabin. The other peasants and I don’t have this much space in back.”
    He laughed.
    Shoring up her courage, Liza risked a glance at him and had that same old predictable reaction: Oh, my God. He was so unbelievably sexy. Though his laugh was guarded, it was still dimpled, thrilling and enough to squeeze the breath right out of her lungs.
    She looked away again before he damaged her retinas.
    “Don’t complain,” he told her. “Senator Fitzgerald only has a 737.”
    This time Liza laughed. “I’m not complaining.”
    His smile slipped away, bit by bit, and he stared for another beat or two while Liza tried not to fidget with nerves. Did she have leftover dinner lettuce wedged between her front teeth? Was that it?
    God, she was antsy. When would he get to the point?
    With rising
