Roses For Sophie Read Online Free PDF

asked Logan, ‘Are we to be treated to your presence this weekend at the Hunter Valley for Grandfather’s birthday bash?’
    â€˜I wouldn’t miss it for the world,’ he responded smoothly to the challenge in the other man’s tone.
    Sophie’s cousin placed a restraining hand on her arm. ‘He looks vaguely familiar. Seeing as how he’s too rude to introduce himself, who is he?’
    Sophie went rigid.
    â€˜Logan,’ Logan stated before Sophie could provide the name of the escort she’d been expecting to meet.
    Felix frowned. Logan could almost hear the cogs spinning in Sophie’s cousin’s brain. The obnoxious man’s eyes narrowed for a split second in assessment. He tilted his head slightly then his eyes widened with recognition. Logan saw the moment realisation dawned. ‘You’re L —?’
    â€˜Going to dance now.’ Logan cut him off quickly and ushered Sophie toward the dance floor as fast as possible, aware that if they’d stayed there any longer, Sophie’s cousin would have dropped the bombshell of his true identity.
    Sophie had every right to know and Logan intended to tell her, but not just yet. The situation he’d found himself in was simply extraordinary. There was a lot he wanted to know first. If her grandfather was pressuring her into marriage, Sophie might be the perfect candidate for his plans after all. All that depended upon the woman he discovered under her icy exterior.

    Logan. The name crashed through Sophie’s brain. ‘Your name is Logan?’
    They paused at the edge of the small dance floor. Deep blue eyes locked her gaze to his and her breath constricted in her chest. It was impossible to breathe. Impossible to move. The conversation and music in the restaurant dimmed and she could hear only the erratic thumping of her own heart as it went into overdrive.
    â€˜That’s right,’ he confirmed as he went to lead her onto the dance floor.
    She resisted, and shook her head in confusion. ‘I was supposed to meet James Stevens.’
    â€˜Lucky for me, he couldn’t make it.’ The smile he sent her was dazzling. ‘Last minute change of plans.’
    â€˜He couldn’t make it so they sent you,’ she said slowly. But it didn’t feel right. Felix had thought Logan’s face looked vaguely familiar. There was something about the escort that teased her mind. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but then she was still feeling way too edgy to think straight after their unexpected encounter with Felix.
    In all honesty, her nerves had been wound as tight as a corkscrew since Sue had first suggested hiring an escort. Initially she’d dismissed the idea, but Sue had gone along and organised it anyway and when push had come to shove, it had seemed to be the only option.
    â€˜I’m here; James isn’t. I suggest we make the most of it, especially as your cousin is still watching.’ His deep voice was pure temptation. So was the rest of him.
    One look and she’d been knocked for six, hit by a tidal wave of sensual longing and in danger of drowning. He was more attractive than any other man she’d met, and she’d been married to a man labelled as one of the most handsome in Australia. For the first time in her life she was swamped by an instant, powerful attraction. It was all she could do to make coherent conversation when just looking at this man made her throb with unfulfilled sexual desire.
