because his message was loaded with Hector’s style. “Dominic, your wife is one fiery. spitfire. Her

The beads of sweat dotting her forehead and the tip of her nose…
All this somehow set his heart racing.
Dan took several deep breaths, reining in his wild thoughts.
He then realized his overreaction. After all, this woman was his wife! There was no harm in harboring
