time.”
    “Did you ever see the movie?”
    Capri sighed and toyed with one of her curls. “It’s been a while. I actually can’t recall the last time I’ve taken time to enjoy any of the movies in my collection.”
    “Damn, you work that hard?”
    “I work that hard.”
    Tiberius set the platter in his hand at the side of the grill and walked over to Capri. Taking a seat on her lounge, he propped his cheek on his fist. “Rod told me what you do.”
    “I bet he did. What’d he say? That I photograph men in the nude?”
    Tiberius chuckled. “No, but I got the point.”
    Capri shrugged and threw her arms across the back of the lounge behind her head. “Well, I’m good at it and it pays the bills.”
    “I hear that.”
    “And?” Capri asked, seeing the questioning look in his light-brown eyes.
    “And what?”
    “And don’t you have something more to ask me. Most people are full of questions when they find out what I do.”
    Tiberius nodded and braced his fingers together. “Well, it’s hardto believe you work around so many men and one of them hasn’t snatched you up.”
    “You have to know how to separate work from play.”
    “So you don’t date the men you meet on the job?”
    “I prefer not to.”
    Tiberius was obviously finding everything hard to believe and he began to chuckle. Capri smiled as well, loving the dimples in his cheeks. “What’s so funny?”
    “I was just wondering what’s wrong with the guys you live around?”
    “You’d know if you could hear some of those tired lines they use. It’s so obvious what they want and it’d probably be easier to skip the lines and just be up front about it.”
    “And if they were up front about it, would you still be interested?”
    “Probably not.” Capri laughed at the irony of it all.
    Tiberius let his eyes drift over Capri’s bare arms and legs. “I don’t think leaving Miami will allow you to completely avoid men who don’t have that on their minds.”
    Capri cleared her throat and pulled her legs beneath her. “Well, when they’re so obvious about it all I want is to laugh in their faces.”
    Tiberius stood up from the lounge. “Give ’em a break. Most of us lose our minds in the presence of a woman who looks like you,” he replied softly, before walking away.

Chapter 4
    C apri stretched her arms high above her head and snuggled deeper into the soft mattress. A satisfied smile pulled at her mouth as she moaned. It was late the next morning and she’d already overslept. Being caught up in the midst of a sensual dream starring Dr. Tiberius Evans was making it difficult to wake up.
    Finally the phone began to ring, succeeding in tugging Capri from her slumber. “Mmm…Hello?”
    The lazy, satisfied tone of Capri’s voice surprised Pepper, who was on the other end. Since she usually had one thing on her mind, Pepper immediately assumed her best friend was up to something naughty. “Girl, what are you doing?” she quickly asked in a hushed tone.
    Capri pushed one hand through her curly locks and sighed. “Pepper. Well…I was having a very good dream.”
    Pepper gave a short laugh and rolled her eyes to the ceiling. “Well, if it works for you. So what’s on your schedule for today?”
    “Rod gave me the day off to move so…”
    “Wait a minute. You’re leaving today?”
    “Mmm-hmm, the movers should be here in a couple of hours.”
    “Damn, you ain’t wasting time haulin’ ass out of there, are you?”
    “Hell no, and I can’t afford to. That house won’t be free for long.”
    “Didn’t you say he rents places all around his home?” Pepper asked, waiting until she heard Capri’s response before continuing. “Doesn’t he have any others?”
    “I asked about that.” Capri rolled to her back and drew a handthrough her hair again. “He said the cottage had been hardest to occupy for any lengthy stretch of time. All the other tenants are couples with and without kids. People looking to put down roots, you
