WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR
Molly Ivers thought she found Prince Charming, complete with a devilishly
sexy accent, and six months ago she gave into their undeniable
attraction. But the swarm of ever-present groupies was so not part of
the fairy tale. As much as it hurt her heart, she shut out rocker Evan Castle.

Now, on the verge of finishing her graduate degree and moving to Paris—she
even hires a French life coach—Molly begins to realize Evan, who
hasn't given up on her, might be the man of her dreams after all.

Molly laughed while she told her what had happened
last night, though at the moment, she wasn’t sure it was a joke. She sighed and
left the computer to go make scrambled eggs. Nell followed her to the kitchen.
“So, should I call you ‘Number One’ now?” She could never keep a straight face
with Nell. Molly speared a peach slice with a fork and nibbled the end of it.
Sweetness filled her mouth. “‘Make it so.’ No, nerd. He seems pretty cool. I
mean, if I check it out, this may turn out to be a positive change. At the
least, he’ll get me in shape for Paris. His bio says he’s from Giverny, and
he’s a retired civil-rights attorney. His website says that when he retired, he
decided to change his objective to improving people’s lives, which is why he’s
a life coach. Pretty impressive.” “So, you’re going through with it?” “Going
through with what?” They both looked into the living room, where a bemused Evan
stood half naked and barefoot in a pair of black pajama bottoms. Molly licked
nectar off the peach on the end of her fork to save it from dropping to the
floor. Evan’s jaw tightened, and his eyes gleamed as he zeroed in on her. He
cleared his throat and lifted an empty half gallon of milk. “Sorry, you left
the door cracked open. I came to borrow milk.” “Jesus, Evan! Knock next time,
or at least text. I’m in my panties.” Nell smacked him on the arm
and tugged down her nightshirt as she ran past him into her bedroom. “Sorry,”
he said, but he seemed distracted as he strode toward Molly, eyes glued to her
lips. She sucked the rest of her peach slice into her mouth and wiped at a
little of the nectar at the corner of her lips. Her cheeks blazed at the hungry
longing in his eyes. She turned away to open the fridge to get the milk. It
wasn’t uncommon for them to borrow food from one another, and he always watched
out for them. He had a comforting, protective nature she’d gotten used to. She
grew painfully aware of her night shorts, which had a tendency to ride up her
butt and cut off at mid-thigh, and her thin white tank top. Could he see her
nipples? And jeez, Louise, why did they have to harden every time he came near
her? She pushed hair out of her face and poured the milk into his empty half
gallon. “Help yourself to the fruit in the bowl there. Nell had leftovers. How
much milk do you want?” “Enough for a bowl of cereal, please. I’ll get some at
the store later.” His voice only dropped that low and husky during sex. She
stopped after she poured enough milk, then gave him extra. Evan reached over
her to open a nearby drawer. He took out a fork, inserted it into the flesh of
a peach slice, and brought it to his lips. “Forbidden fruit, hmm?” He teased
the fruit around his lips with a wicked smirk. He winked at her and sank his
teeth into half the peach as he watched her, licking it. Her mouth went dry.
Oh, he knew what he was doing.
