Summary: Riveting
Comment: A typical Radclyffe effort. I try to save her books for a Friday evening, because I know I won't stop until the last page. The books just don't appear fast enough for me. Best of all, they are still good the third time I read them. Or fourth.

Summary: Excerpt
Comment: Michael almost backed out a dozen times.
We're virtual strangers; what if we have nothing to talk about?
Unfortunately, she had agreed to let Sloan drive, which at the time seemed to make sense. She hadn't thought about the fact that she wouldn't be able to make a hasty retreat if the evening turned into a disaster.
She sat in the front seat of the sports coupe, staring out the window at the busy city streets. It was close to 11:00 on an unseasonably warm Friday night in April, and an unusual number of people were still walking about, taking advantage of the weather. She realized that she was rarely out at this time of night, unless it was to travel home from the office. And at those times, her mind was on automatic, busy constructing answers to questions most people hadn't yet asked. That was one of her strengths, her ability to see both the problems and the solutions inherent in a project before they developed. She sorely wished that ability extended to her private life as well.
Beside her, Sloan drove with quiet concentration. She was efficient, aggressive without being reckless, and intensely focused on maneuvering the powerful sports car through the narrow, crowded streets. Michael was surprised to find that she wasn't uncomfortable, even though she was doing something completely foreign to her. She rarely socialized outside the obligatory business meetings, and when she and Nicholas had been forced to entertain, she had done so reluctantly. She simply didn't feel comfortable making casual conversation with near-strangers. When she tried to remember the last time she and Nicholas had been out alone together, she couldn't. How on earth she had ever allowed herself to be drawn into this strange outing escaped her.
"You needn't stay if it doesn't please you," Sloan said as if reading her mind.
Michael looked at her sharply, studying the angles of her face in the flickering light from overhead street lamps and passing cars that illuminated her features briefly before darkness descended again. In those brief patches of light, she could make out the strong chin, sculpted cheekbones, and straight fine nose. She couldn't see the color of her eyes, but she didn't need to. That deep violet was something already etched in her memory.
Despite the odd turn of events, Michael reminded herself that she had spent the last few hours in this woman's company, in far more than casual conversation. Contrary to being awkward, it had been amazingly easy.
"I'm accustomed to looking after myself, Ms. Sloan. Please don't worry about me."
"Just Sloan," Sloan repeated again. She glanced briefly at Michael, then returned her attention to the road. "I have absolutely no doubt that you are entirely capable of looking after yourself. I only meant that it might not be the kind of entertainment you're used to."
"You said a show-down here I'd guess a jazz combo or a piano bar." At Sloan's faint smile she asked cautiously, "What exactly does your friend do?"
Grinning a little wider, Sloan deftly maneuvered into a parking space on the street. She cut the engine and turned in her seat to face Michael, carelessly draping her right arm over the back of the passenger seat. There wasn't a great deal of room in the interior of her Porsche, and her fingers glanced unintentionally over Michael's shoulder. "It's a drag show."
Michael jumped slightly, more from the unexpected contact than the unanticipated answer. She swallowed, then answered steadily, "Of course, a drag show. Exactly what I was expecting."
Sloan laughed, appreciating her companion's aplomb. She released her seat belt and pushed open the driver's door. "Come on. I have a table reserved up front."
Michael waited on the sidewalk, watching the unquestionably handsome woman come around the car to join her. What in God's name am I doing?
