Bundle of Joy
Bretton, Barbara
AT SIX O'CLOCK. . .

the door slammed shut, trapping boutique owner Caroline Bradley and short-order cook Charlie Donohue in a fur vault.

At seven . . . their relationship sank to an all-time low, as Caroline blamed Charlie, and Charlie tried brute strength against the unyielding door.

At nine . . . the temperature plummeted and Caroline and Charlie wrapped themselves in luxurious fur to keep warm.

At ten . . . Caroline noticed the masculine muscles in Charlie's back, and he compared her dimple to a work of art.

At eleven . . . Charlie couldn't tear his eyes from Caroline's inviting mouth, while she fantasized about his kisses.

Just after midnight. . . the light blew -- and under cover of darkness, Caroline and Charlie found paradise.
