title: Forbidden to His Touch
author:  Natasha Tate 
description: Natasha Tate's romantic side has its roots in childhood. As an army brat and perennial new kid, she consumed a romance book a day, hiding them within her textbooks. This habit persisted into college, despite her more academic pursuits, equipping her with the know-how to tame her own alpha male hero. Now that she's married and an author for Harlequin, she lives her dream of crafting fairytale romances set in modern-day, larger-than-life settings. Visit her at www.NatashaTate.com.

  “We need to set some ground rules first.”
  
  
  “About what?”
  
  
  “About you and me,” she said, crossing her arms
  
  
  over her ribs and glowering at him. “About
  
  
  boundaries.”
  
  
  He inclined his head. “Go on.”
  
  
  “I won’t sleep with you again,” she said, her eyes
  
  
  ashing with erce heat. “And you’re not welcome
  
  
  in my home.”
  
  
  He held her gaze for a silent beat, and then dipped
  
  
  his at ention to her mouth and breasts for the
  
  
  faintest icker of time before returning, “Don’t fret. I
  
  
  have no plans to join you in your bed.”
  
  
  Color seeped into her cheeks. “Good.”
  
  
  Because soon you’l be begging to join me in mine.
  
  
  And this time she wouldn’t leave until he told her to
  
  
  go.
