Chapter 6

Nicholas narrowed his eyes menacingly. “I would advise you not to speculate about things you don‟t understand, Care”

That angry color drained as quickly from her cheeks as it had appeared. “I prefer to be called Caroline or Miss Anderson,” she bit out stiltedly.

Nicholas eyed her consideringly. Obviously he had hit on a raw nerve of some kind by the shortening of her name. “Okay, so don’t speculate about things you don’t know or understand…Caroline,” he conceded dryly.

What Caroline didn’t understand was why she was responding to this man’s taunts and insinuations at all! As Caroline Anderson, a woman of considerable financial independence, she made a point of avoiding any and all situations that might lead to emotional confrontation of any kind. Especially with a man whose very presence unnerved her!
