Ellie tipped her head back and laughed. There was no end to her husband’s curiosity. But then, she’d always considered that one of his sexiest qualities. Life with Marcus Fairbanks certainly wasn’t boring. Loving him had always been an adventure-an adventure that would begin all over again in a new town, inside a new shop.

“Take me home, Marcus,” Ellie said, slipping her hand into his and pulling him along to the front door, the basket looped over her arm.

“We don’t have a home anymore,” he said. “By now the movers have probably cleaned out the house.”

“Then take me to a seedy no-tell motel,” she said. “I have some needs that require your attention.”

Marcus groaned as she pulled him toward the door. “Oh, Ellie, have you been eating our chocolates again?”
