Bollywood Comes to The Chatsfield. Tara Pammi
her cheek, Tanya looked at him steadily. ‘I assure you, Mr Patel, you’re in no danger from me. I have more sense than to throw myself at a man who’s a fictionalised, fantasy sex symbol rather than anything real.’
The moment she heard those words, Tanya knew she had ended up breaking the rule anyway.
His mouth twitched, a curious light shining in his eyes.
Darn it, she didn’t want to get her brothers into trouble. They had poured blood and sweat to build their business into what it was today.

‘So I take it fictionalised, fantasy sex symbols don’t puncture through that starched, repressed exterior?’

This time, he laughed, throwing his head back. And under the glorious sound of it, she felt as if she had crawled out from a damp, dark hole into dazzling sunshine.

Shaking his head, he moved closer. The subtle scent of his cologne mingled with his own, infused the air she breathed. The heat from his body was like a silky stroke against her skin, a teasing hello. It tugged at her so tangibly that Tanya curled her toes in her leather shoes to keep balance.
