Eventually, Tessa stopped blubbering like an idiot, but she
didn't leave the safety of Micah's arms. Her entire body was
trembling, and it had been so damn difficult to force herself to
get back on the ice. But once there, she'd never felt anything
more magical.
Her body had taken over, following the sequence of move-
ments that must have been ingrained in her psyche. It hadn't
really been necessary to think much about what she'd been
doing. All she'd had to do was listen to the music in her head
and skate.
She relaxed against Micah's hard, well-defined body, sa-

clench. She'd watched the TV breathlessly as Micah and his
well-known team of elite skydivers had performed stunts that
had never been attempted before, and she'd breathed a sigh
of relief as each one of them finally landed on solid ground.
