She looked up over Paige’s raised knees and saw a most stunning sight. Big old Preacher was resting his lips against the baby’s head and crying his eyes out. Huge tears ran down his cheeks and dropped...
She felt that hand that had been on her hip slide stealthily around her, holding her at her waist, pulling her just slightly back against him. You’re distracting me, she said, casting again. Good, he...
Sean told her about the question Rosie had posed while they were in the parking lot of the grocery. Franci had to lean against the counter, laughing so hard she was doubled over, yet trying to keep qu...
Sean searched his memory for how he’d convinced her to take a chance on him in the first place and his mind was a blur. He’d probably been relentless in his pursuit because he did remember how he had...
Really, the cost didn’t matter. No matter what she needed, even if it was the hospital, he’d find a way. He couldn’t let her be sick. In less than twenty-four hours, all he really wanted was to see he...
Really, I don’t know how to thank you. The day was wonderful, the evening was perfect. And you’re exceptionally well behaved. She grinned at him. Don’t give me too much credit. It’s all part of a devi...
Paul kissed her forehead. You’re amazing, Vanessa. You, too, she whispered, and closed her eyes. He stayed on his knees beside her bed while Mel took the baby, and for the entire time she washed him,...
Paul got down on one knee at the side of the bed and held her hand, looking into her eyes. You doing okay? he asked softly. I’m working very hard, she said, breathless. I know. God, Vanni—I wish there...
Paul did his job—brow mopping, hand-holding, encouraging, supporting. It went on for almost an hour and he watched as Vanni got more and more tired and Mel stayed busy getting ready to catch that baby...
Over time, she felt Bobby had had some recognition—there were times he’d turn his head, seem to look at her, even move his head closer as if nuzzling her, then close his eyes as though he knew she was...
One thing she absolutely couldn’t take—Cameron and Paul both in Virgin River for the weekend—Cameron trying to seduce her, Paul shyly and clumsily trying to find a way to tell her he had a girlfriend....
One of these days, he said to himself, I’m going to tell her. Tell her I love her more than I thought I could love a woman. Tell her that my life started when she walked into town. But not yet. He did...
On some bizarre instinct, he peeked into the master bedroom. He saw a couple of suitcases on the bed. And he thought, This isn’t happening to me. He went to the kitchen. Hi, honey, he said tentatively...
Oh, there was another swearword, not even on the cusp, even though he is definitely a shitbag. She smiled at him. I bet you’ve just about had it with me, huh? He pulled her close. I’ve had it with you...
Oh, really. This saving-up business—I guess you think you’re the only one who missed it. Huh? Well… You got a little pissy there for a while…. Well, John, you told everyone it was ovulation day! You’r...
Now, can we please have some of Preacher’s brisket? You’ve been a little high maintenance tonight. Not like you. And I’m starving! He ran his big rough hands through her soft blond hair. You’re starvi...
Now look, he said. He felt the back collar of his shirt and jacket clutched in an iron grip and he whirled on the giant, hitting him square in the jaw with his fist. He suspected he’d broken his hand,...
Not many women knew what it was like to have a man like this. A powerful and lusty man like Jack. He always put her needs and feelings ahead of his own, always looking to care for her in every way, ke...
Noah smiled at her, then his smile froze. He looked her slowly up and down. And again. What? she demanded hotly, hands on her hips. Nothing, he said, turning away. No. What? What’s the matter? He turn...
My new daughter-in-law is certainly pregnant and I’m not sure she even realizes it herself yet! She is moody, nauseous, cries at the drop of a hat, and they want a baby. Vivian, I have to get out of t...
