Why don’t I give her a bottle while you eat. I brought coffee. Really, I didn’t know they made men like you, she said, letting him follow her into the kitchen. When he put down the plate and thermos,...
Whoa, baby, look at you! Damn me, girl—you’re cooking a good one there! He rubbed a big hand over her belly. Preacher, you dog—you did fine work here! Yeah, I sure did. You’re about to pop, girl. Pret...
While he sat on the edge of the bed to retrieve his jeans from the floor, she saw the tattoo on his back for the first time—a large sunburst right between his shoulder blades. Very sexy on that broad,...
When she heard him in the doorway, she looked up from her place on the floor and a coppery curl fell over her forehead. He couldn’t help but smile at her—she looked cute as the dickens with her hair p...
When driven to the outhouse by sheer urgent need, she carried the big iron skillet. If that beast showed up again, teeth bared, she’d knock him into the middle of next week. She might not be a hunter,...
When Jack turned from Mel, Rick took one look at the storm gathering on Jack’s face, the way he clenched his fists open and closed, and stepped out of his way. Jack walked over to Lassiter and stuck o...
What’s that like, being a movie star? Being a star, as you put it, is like living an imaginary life. Acting, however, is the hardest work you’ll ever find. Look at me, she said, connecting with his ey...
What’s bothering you? I’ve been watching Preacher, he said. Ah. Lots of people have. What’s up with that? Well, it seems pretty apparent. He’s growing very attached to his houseguests. Yeah. That’s wh...
What went on while you two were out of earshot? he asked Ellie. Oh, Your Righteousness, you probably don’t want to know. What if it makes you an accessory to the crime or something? He sighed heavily....
What we wish other people would do has nothing to do with us. That’s not moral fiber, that’s being judgmental and unforgiving. I’ve never been judgmental or unforgiving a day in my life, Maureen prote...
What the hell are you doing here? Brad glared meanly. Nice to see you, too, Jack, he said. You don’t belong here, Jack said too loudly. You left her. You’re done with her. Hey, he said, bristling. I n...
What did you say? he asked. To who? Whom, he said, and then he almost kicked himself. To Miss MacIntyre, for example. She studied his face for a second and then, with a hand on her hip, she said, I sa...
What are you doing? Jack asked as he wandered into the kitchen. I’m cleaning out the refrigerator, she answered. I’m going to stop bringing food into this house—we let too much go to waste. She heard...
Well, I never did know quite where I was going. But there was this light… And I followed… I told you, I love you. Ian, I love you so much. I’ll start there and take everything else as it comes. And I...
Wanna try my ride for a change? he asked her. It’s not too cold today. She looked around him. On that? Just you and me, Shelby. Want to take a chance? She gave him a soft smile. Am I safe with you on...
Walt looked over his shoulder at a sound and both men watched as Vanni opened the corral gate, mounted Chico and rode away from the ranch, down along the riverbank. Well, she’s getting away from you....
Vanni, I want to marry you, take care of you and Mattie. She frowned slightly. Wait a minute—is there anything else you should tell me before you propose? Any other little secret stuffed in the back o...
Vanni rocked Hannah back and forth, tears running down her cheeks. Hannah settled back against Vanni and looked up at her face. She put a pudgy little hand against Vanni’s cheek and said, Mama. Yes, m...
Uh-huh. I think she was flattered. It’ll help fill her bucket. Huh? You know—the bucket... What are you talking about? Well, the elementary school teachers talk about the bucket a lot. Everyone has on...
This sounds like an incredible young woman. She is that. Very mild mannered—hard to guess she could have that kind of conviction. Stubbornness. Strength, Aiden added. Commitment. Well, you’d have to b...
