Mollie blushed as Mr. Walters released his hold on Jacob in order to embrace her in an enthusiastic hug. Jacob frowned at the sight of another man’s arms around his woman, but it was only right that s...
Meredith bundled her shawl more tightly around her shoulders before ducking her head and scurrying past his brother. Travis knew he probably looked like a lovesick pup just standing there watching her...
I myself prefer being called Cassie. It's so much friendlier and less pretentious than Cassandra, don't you think? ... I think both fit you right fine. One is elegant and graceful, the other fun and l...
He groped about for several minutes, growling like a bear and stamping his feet at anyone who ventured too close. Isabella rushed at him and retreated several times, giggling each time he missed. Then...
He drew a piece of bread from the basket, buttered it, and handed it to her. When her fingers closed around the crusty edge, she expected him to let go. He didn’t. She glanced up into penetrating blue...
Darius? Are you sure you’re all right? Back turned to Nicole, he closed his eyes. Of course he wasn’t all right. The woman he loved was bound and determined to leave him in six days, and he had no fea...
As she slipped back into the house, Travis mumbled, It’s about time. Everett Hayes had the gall to wink at him. Better get used to it, Archer. Things are never the same after you install a woman in yo...
She glimpsed Levi cutting through the crowd to get to her. Smoothing her hair and finding a smile, she greeted him as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Would you like a piece of cake? Levi...
Away from Eden. She’s mine.
You’ve been good for him, you know. For all of us, really, but especially for the master. Nicole’s pulse sped at the thought even as her mind discounted the comment as illogical. I don’t see how you c...
Your kite, milady?She curtsied and handed it to him. Why, thank you, Sir Tucker. Take care, though. The fabric is wont to snag.
You might of put Travis from your mind, but I still think he claims a piece of your heart.
Ye comin’? Ben shook his head. Nope. I’m just the driver. Ms. Adams owns the shop. She makes all the buyin’ decisions. McPhearson nodded. Seems my woman’s determined to make a few buyin’ decisions of...
Well, she was no stranger to loss, to hurt feelings, to prejudice. But she’d decided long ago not to let pain dictate her life.
Travis? Her voice came out scratchy and cracked. What are you doing in my room? Those eyes—not quite green, not quite brown—crinkled at the corners. I’m not in your room, darlin’. You’re in mine. What...
The friendly, welcoming smiles she had grown to love still made her breath catch, but he’d added a new weapon to his arsenal. A secret, intimate smile that reminded her of warm kisses and strong arms....
Stone rose to his feet and bent down to capture on of her hands. Dobson's not the only man you can depend on, Charlotte.She looked at him a long moment before tugging her hand free. We'll see.
Since he looks so much like Hermes and Helios, I figured he needed a name to help him fit in with the family. Hercules starts with an H and matches the stories Mr. Ben tells, so it just seemed right....
Really, Mr. Grant. One would think that after living in this town for nearly a week and making numerous visits to my library, you would extend me the courtesy of learning my name. I know your name, Ed...
