At 7 A.M., Hadley woke on schedule. She switched on the bedside lamp, freshened up in the bathroom, and

“Huh?” Hadley looked down—and froze. Her scalp tingled. Her eyes widened.

Eric raised an eyebrow and leaned in to kiss her.
Hadley froze.
A wave of heat rushed through her, sharp and disorienting.
Her eyes widened in alarm.
She panicked, trying to shove him away.
But she couldn't. He was too strong.
