The September afternoon was pleasant and sunny and she could see that Luke was crouched atop one of the cabins tearing off rotting shingles. Although it was cool enough for her to need a jacket, his b...
The bartender set down a bowl along with a napkin and utensils, then stood there awaiting her. He held the chair for her. Close up, she saw how big a guy he was—over six feet and broad-shouldered. Mis...
The cabin in Virgin River might be ready, but Mel sure wasn’t. The baby at Doc’s was keeping her in town for now, but it was impractical to think of her caring for Chloe out at the cabin—there was onl...
The expression on his face should be enough to terrify the man who held her. Bare chested, barefoot, his jeans zipped but not buttoned, his shoulders and arms frighteningly huge, big tattoos on his sw...
The hunters exchanged looks, then slowly stood. They began to move away from the table, having left no money to pay for their drinks, which was a sure clue trouble was coming. The one in the group clo...
Thing is, I’ve decided what I’m going to do next. I have to go back to the university, of course. Next semester, I’m cutting back my schedule. I need more freedom. I’m going to transition out, sneak u...
This young Shelby was so transparent, she left little doubt as to what she wanted. Needed. She’d like to wrap her emotions around a man and tether him right up against her heart, breaking him in half....
Vanessa, he whispered. She moved in her bed. She sniffed. Cameron? she asked. What is it? he whispered. Nothing, it’s nothing, she whispered back. He went to her bed and sat on the edge. He looked dow...
Vanni had the kids on the bed with her. She was lying on her back with Matt curled up against her on one side and Hannah on the other, both of them sleeping with their mouths open. Vanni was sound asl...
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...
We could talk about it. Talk about what? Why you look like someone shot your dog. Shelby, I assume. Nah, Luke said, taking a drink. That’s not serious. I guess that has nothing to do with your sleeple...
Well, not exactly. Thing is, I need to talk to someone who’s not a member of my family. About Luke. Gosh, Muriel said. I’m honored. I would’ve expected you to go to Mel. The two of you are awful close...
Well, you don’t have to be shy with me, because I’ve been looking forward to meeting you. And I hear you’ve been a big help to Luke. Art lifted his eyes and said, You’re not the queen of England. Maur...
Were you ever lonely, Franci? he asked in a whisper against her neck. Without me? Her eyes popped open, but she kept her breathing even, pretending to be sleeping. I never thought about it, about bein...
We’re home, shortcake. Let’s find your jammies. She squirmed and murmured, not letting go of his neck. He laughed at her and said, I can’t help you change clothes if you don’t let go. With her face bu...
We’re men, Rick. We’re idiots. Ask Mel, he said. Yeah.
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 was your perfect line? he asked. It’s just silly…. No, tell me. I want to know. It’s just a line. A fantasy line. You can’t steal it—it wouldn’t be the same if I fed it to you. And if you use it...
What’s on your mind, son? Paul scooted forward a bit. Well, it’s no secret I’m in love with your daughter. I want to marry Vanni. Do I have your blessing? Your permission? Walt shook his head and chuc...
What’s so funny? he asked. In the end, you begged. He sighed. I did. I begged. I’m sorry—I swore to you I’d never beg. I’m okay with it now, she laughed. I don’t think you’ll have to beg again. That’s...
