grace with which she moved as she guided customers from display to display.
    He could tell she was surprised that he was hanging around. As she attended to her customers, her gaze continually sought him.
    Maybe by hanging around long enough he’d irritate her and she would decide that Gina was more trouble than she was worth. Then she’d join him in the war to get Gina to return home.
    â€œI never knew there could be so many expectant parents in one city,” he said when there was a lull in the customers.
    She smiled and straightened the blankets in one of the cribs on display. “Not everyone who comes in is expecting a baby. Friends and relatives of expectant or new parents come in to find a gift for the birth or for a shower.”
    She gave the blanket a final pat, then straightened. “But this has all got to be terribly boring for you.”
    â€œNot at all. Is Gina as good a salesman as you are?”
    Colette smiled and Tanner felt a renewed tug of attraction. “She’s a great salesclerk.”
    â€œIs Gina your only employee?” It would require ridiculously long hours for only two people to run the store.
    â€œI have two other women who work for me on a part-time basis,” she replied. “But Gina is my only full-time worker.” She smiled and excused herself as another customer came through the door.
    Tanner resumed his position against the back wall, surprised when a few minutes later Gina came through the shop door. He was shocked to realize he’d been standing around and watching Colette work for the past several hours.
    â€œHow long have you been here?” Gina asked suspiciously.
    â€œWhy?” he countered.
    She set her purse behind the counter and looked over to where Colette was showing a couple of expectant parents the variety of cribs she carried.
    â€œI was wondering how long you’ve had to try to get Colette on your side.”
    He grinned. “I got here before she opened the store and we shared bagels and coffee. And I’ll have you know we didn’t even discuss you.”
    Gina looked surprised. “Then what did you talk about?”
    â€œThis and that,” he replied.
    Gina’s eyes narrowed. “I know you, Tanner Rothman. You never do anything without a reason. Colette is my friend and my roommate, and you just leave her out of this.”
    â€œGina.” Tanner took one of his sister’s hands in his. “Come home. You were less than a year away from your teaching degree. Come home and finish up college, stay at the ranch until you get married and have a family of your own. You don’t want to be a store clerk for the rest of your life.”
    â€œI don’t want to go back to Foxrun. I like it here,” she protested. “And I’m not going to be a store clerk for the rest of my life. Colette is starting to train me as a manager and a buyer.” She pulled her hand out of his and went to greet a customer who had just come through the front door.
    Tanner sighed in frustration and looked back over to Colette. As he gazed at her, Gina’s words replayed in his mind. “She’s my friend and my roommate, and you just leave her out of this.”
    He couldn’t very well leave Colette out of it. She was smack-dab in the middle, making promises to Gina that undermined what Tanner wanted.
    As lovely as she was, as desirable as he found her, he couldn’t forget that she was the enemy. And what he intended to do was seduce the enemy and bring her to his side of the war.

Chapter Three
    T o say that Tanner Rothman was a distraction was a vast understatement. His overwhelming presence filled the store, and no matter where she stood, she thought she could smell his evocative scent.
    He was too tall, his shoulders far too broad, and his utter masculinity and sexiness made it difficult for Colette to focus on work.
    Between customers he visited with both Gina and her, charming Colette
