As they passed the front desk the maitre d' bowed slightly. "Bonsoir," he said.
"Bonsoir," Lila responded, taking a box of matches from the bowl on the stand. Steven's eyes widened, and he looked at her for an explanation. But she just casually tucked the matches in her purse and pushed open the door. Steven followed her out of the resturant, feeling worried again.
"What are the matches for?" Steven asked casually as they walked across the lot.
"Oh, it's justa little souvenir," Lila responded lightly. "I always take matches from resturants."
Steven absorbed the information with alarm. Lila loved candlelight, and she collected matches. He thought of her expression as she had lit the candles in the resturant. She had looked almost hypnotized. Is she a pyromaniac? Steven wondered. Is she playing with me? Is this some kind of cat-and-mouse game?
Lila turned and gave him a bright smile, a smile that was just for him. Steven's pulse picked up at her affectionate gaze. And the note of danger just made his heart beat faster.

Will Steven find a way to clear Lila's name and save their burning passion, or will his new flame be locked away for good? With his own sisters scheming to break up his romance, Steven could be in for a major meltdown. Too Hot to Handle
