Chapter 40 Dangerous Temptations
- Adrian Kane looked up as a soft knock echoed from his open office door. He had been expecting her, though he would never admit it out loud. Over the past two weeks, he had found his gaze drawn to Sienna Hart far more often than he liked to acknowledge.
- She was always there before everyone else, long before the rest of the department arrived, and she was almost always the last to leave — except for him. He had noticed the small things: the faint shadows under her eyes, the slow drag of her steps when the long hours caught up to her, and the quiet determination in her expression as she buried herself in her work.
- He recognized that exhaustion. He wore it himself more often than not. But with her, there was something more, something behind the relentless drive, and he could not stop himself from wondering what fueled it. The thought intruded on him when he least expected it, even when he was buried in his own deadlines and reports.
