male, so intoxicating. It surrounded her, filled her senses and created a delicious woozy feeling in the pit of her stomach.
    Erin's mind and body were sending out conflicting signals. The temptation to relax and respond was almost irresistible.
    So why don't you? a traitorous inner voice whispered. You're supposed to be Elise, remember? It's what she would do.
    But the thought of her sister and of Elise's feelings for Max brought both honesty and guilt to the surface. Idiot, she chided herself. It's Elise he thinks he's kissing.
    Wedging her arms between them, Erin broke off the kiss and leaned back within his embrace. She gave a shaky laugh and flashed him what she hoped was a coy look. "Max, we're still in the foyer."
    "So?"
    "Well, you did say we were going to have dinner, didn't you? I'm starving." It was true. She hadn't had a bite since that cardboard breakfast she'd only nibbled at on the plane that morning.
    With a chuckle and another quick kiss, Max released her. "All right. First things first, I suppose. You know where everything is. While I change, why don't you start dinner?" He gave her bottom a swat and started up a short flight of stairs, stopping on the landing to call back, "Just make a salad and that special dressing of yours, and throw a couple of potatoes into the microwave. I'll grill the steaks."
    Erin stared after him. Salad dressing? Potatoes? Oh, Lord. She was really in trouble now. Elise was the domestic one. Her own culinary talents were limited to opening cans and adding boiling water to packets of instant mix.
    She looked around, her brain working furiously. Well, she had no choice; she was just going to have to fake it. She was stuck on a mountaintop with a man who had amorous intentions. It was either keep him in the kitchen and feed him or run the risk of finding herself in the bedroom, appeasing another appetite.
    But first she needed to get the lay of the land.
    Erin swept through the rooms on the first level at nearly a run and was surprised to find only a large living room, a powder room, a library and what appeared to be a home office.
    Where the devil was the kitchen?
    She returned to the entry hall and listened at the bottom of the stairs for Max. Emboldened by the distant sound of a shower running and an off-key baritone raised in song, she raced up to the landing. From it the stairs branched off and upward in several directions, and hallways stretched out on each side.
    Erin nibbled briefly at the end of her index finger, then took off down the right hall. Four doors opened onto it. The first two were large closets, the others a bathroom and an enormous game room.
    Gnashing her teeth, Erin raced back to the landing. She took the first set of stairs two at a time, then zipped right back down again when she discovered that they led to the master suite.
    Working her way across the landing, she ran up and down, exploring at breakneck speed, finding several more bedrooms, each with its own bath, several private terraces tucked between the wings, and a solarium. She also discovered that by building his house in steps up the side of the mountain, Max had ingeniously provided each room with a breathtaking view.
    By the time she located the kitchen, which, along with the dining and breakfast rooms, occupied the three-level wing to the left of the landing, she was thoroughly confused. There were countless nooks and steps and interconnecting passageways.
    She'd never find her way around, Erin fretted as she washed her hands at the kitchen sink. The place was a regular rabbit warren.
    She poked through the refrigerator until she found a bottle of salad dressing. She dumped the contents into a bowl and hid the bottle in the garbage pail under the sink, burying it under a wad of paper towels, then pulled a half dozen cans of likely looking herbs and spices from the cabinet and placed them beside the bowl.
    When Max walked into the kitchen, a large salad of lettuce, spinach and tomato wedges sat in
