What on earth was I thinking? Susannah asked herself. How could I have given myself to this man?

She swallowed hard. The sun glinted off Amado’s proud profile. His sleeves were rolled up to reveal tanned and muscled forearms. He was gorgeous.

But that was no excuse. She’d have to do her best to stay far away from him while he was in New York. Then he’d go back to Argentina and no one would be any the wiser.

“Why are you backing away from me?”

She froze, unaware that her body had been trying to put a safe distance between them. “I’m not.”

“Yes, you are.” He took a step towards her. Desire throbbed in her veins as her body responded to the raw power of his gesture. “But don’t think you can walk away from me now…”

“How long were you going to wait before telling me?” he demanded, his voice like velvet over steel.

She decided to try to bluff him out, then abruptly changed tack, choosing to attack him on his own terms. “I could ask you the same thing. How long were you going to wait before telling me you’d bought this building? I never stood a chance to buy out, did I?”

“You would have known in good time, Blair. Now, it is not like you to be unwell and I assume it can be due to only one thing. So, I will ask you again. How long were you going to wait before telling me you were pregnant?”

“Until never!”

“Wrong answer.”

He covered the short distance between them in the blink of an eye. One arm curved around her back, holding her captive against his body. And, darn it, her body responded instantly to his touch.

Excerpt In the Argentine’s Bed by Jennifer Lewis What on earth was I thinking? Susannah asked herself. How could I have given myself to this man? She swallowed hard.

Dear Reader Dear Reader, The seed for this book was planted while I was out walking with my friend and neighbour, Ana, and she mentioned that her family came from Argentina’s wine country. Once I learned that the Mendoza wine-growing region is nestled at the foot of the majestic Andes mountains and irrigated by melt water from the snowy peaks, I became fascinated. In recent years the area has experienced a boom in productivity and popularity, since local altitudes and sun exposure combine to create a terroir that produces unique and intense flavours. I learned a lot about the passionate wine makers of the area and their beautiful estates from www.vinesofmendoza.com and naturally I also enjoyed some delicious liquid research. This land of colourful history, breathtaking scenery and rich flavours seemed the perfect setting for a tale of intrigue and passion. I hope you enjoy Susannah and Amado’s story. Jennifer Lewis

Dear Reader,

How do you make a complete stranger hand over his DNA?

Susannah Clarke’s rental car was almost totally out of gas. She’d known the Tierra de Oro estancia was well outside Mendoza, Argentina, and had planned accordingly. But the car and its fuel tank were tiny, and everything else here was on a much grander scale than she’d imagined.
