name isn’t.”
    Savannah arched a brow. She remembered what Jessica had shared with her once regarding Durango’s aversion to city women. “It’s my mom’s favorite Southern city and she thought the name suited me.”
    He nodded, thinking the name suited her very feminine and genteel charm, as well.
     
    A short while later Savannah followed the aroma of food as she walked down the stairs to the kitchen. Shestopped and glanced around, getting a good look at the wood-grain kitchen counters and the shiny stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen was a cook’s dream. From one side of the ceiling hung an assortment of copper pots. Unlike most men, Durango evidently enjoyed spending time in his kitchen.
    He must have heard her sigh of admiration because he then turned, looked at her and smiled. “All settled in?”
    Forcing her nervousness away, she nodded. “Yes. I didn’t bring much since I hadn’t planned on staying.”
    “You might as well get comfortable. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re stuck here for a couple of days.”
    Savannah frowned. “Why would you think that?”
    Durango leaned back against the counter and gestured toward the window. “Take a look outside.”
    Savannah walked quickly over to the window. There was a full-scale blizzard going on. She could barely see anything. She turned around. “What happened?”
    Durango chuckled. “Welcome to Montana. Didn’t you know this was the worst time of year to come visiting?”
    No, she hadn’t known. The only thing that had been on her mind, once she’d made her decision, was to get to him and tell him about the baby as soon as she could.
    She glanced back out the window. “And you think this will last a couple of days?”
    “More than likely. The only thing we can do is to make the most of it.”
    Savannah turned and met his gaze, taking in what he’d just said. It was simply a play on words, she presumed. She hoped. Being cooped up in the house with Durango for a couple of days and making the most of it wasn’t what she’d planned on happening. It didn’t takemuch to recall just how quickly she had succumbed to his sexiness. All it had taken was a little eye contact and she’d been a goner.
    “Come on, Savannah. Let’s eat.”
    Savannah regarded him for a moment before crossing the room to the table where he’d placed the food. “Aren’t you concerned about losing power?”
    Durango shook his head. “Nope. I have my own generator. It’s capable of supplying all the energy I need to keep this place running awhile. Then there are the fireplaces. I had one built for every bedroom as well as the living room. No matter how cold or nasty the weather gets outside, you can believe we’ll stay warm and cozy inside.”
    Staying warm and cozy was another thing she was afraid of, Savannah thought, taking a seat at the table. There was no doubt in her mind that she and Durango could supply enough sensuous fire to actually torch the place.
    “Everything looks delicious. I didn’t know you could cook,” she said, helping herself to some of the food he had prepared, and trying not to lick her lips in the process. She was so hungry.
    Durango smiled as he watched her dig in, glad she had a good appetite. A lot of the women he’d dated acted as if it was a sin to eat more than a thimbleful of food. “I’m a bachelor who believes in knowing how to fend for myself. On top of that I’m Sarah Westmoreland’s son. She taught me Survival 101 well.”
    Savannah tasted the mashed potatoes and thought they were delicious. “Mmm, these are good.”
    “Thanks.”
    After a few moments of silence Durango said, “I noticed you aren’t showing yet.”
    Savannah met his eyes. She had felt the heat of his gaze on her, checking out her body, when she’d crossed the room to stand at the window. “I’m only two months, Durango. The baby is probably smaller than a peanut now. Most women don’t start showing until their fourth month.”
    He nodded. “How
