Given the fact that Luke and Shelby had been together about a year, Sean didn’t feel as if he was interfering with the honeymoon by hanging around. All that lovey-dovey stuff was not so much about the...
Go after her, Luke. Tell her the truth, that it scares you to death but you want her. Luke
You should have called me. I could have helped. I was afraid to get involved with someone I didn’t know. I already screwed up on that once. You could be a lunatic for all I know. I could be, but I’m n...
Have you ever actually had a church before? Not exactly. Listen, I’ll make something work with those colors. Even though they’re pretty dorky colors…. He had a fleeting thought that this was not the w...
He couldn’t let her get away again, or he’d never be the same. She could push him back, be angry about his screwup, but he was going to keep coming at her until he had her attention. She was going to...
Well, I admit, you’re not exactly what I have in mind, either. I was thinking around twenty-six, more hair, polo shirt, or maybe a sharp, crisp, white button-down, she said, and then she grinned at hi...
I should get out of here before there’s trouble…. No, you can’t go, he said calmly, firmly. He really didn’t want to play hardball with her, but he shouldn’t have to tell her what she would be able to...
You should go. You have a lot to do in the morning. I’m staying tonight. Put on my T-shirt and I’ll sleep in my jeans in case someone’s wandering in the night. But I’m staying. Your mother will know y...
We can continue this conversation later. I don’t think so, she said. You boys gossip worse than a bunch of old women and I think it’s high time you mind your own bloody business. He leaned toward her...
Something hit him, and it didn’t feel particularly good. He picked up the picture and looked at the man’s face. So, you’re the guy, he thought. He didn’t look like a bad guy—but clearly he had done so...
I think you’ve just about exceeded your limit for small talk, Sean. And you’re fidgeting. Either you have to go to the bathroom or you have something to tell me. She squinted at him. Are you wearing m...
It took a lot to straighten your back like that, hold your head up, be the strength and not the victim.
He stopped chopping again and, looking at her, asked, What made you decide? Bear’s new leg. That old blue plaid flannel... Old? Preacher asked, smiling slightly. That was a perfectly good shirt. *
It’s not winning that’s really winning. It’s never giving up. Your
There might as well have been no one else in the room. As she walked toward the bar, he came around it. I’m sorry I didn’t get here in time to help, she said. Preacher stooped to pick up Christopher,...

Wouldn’t a guy feel funny about his girl getting raped? Like maybe not wanting to… You know… Seems like a guy wouldn’t want to touch her after that. Like she was dirty? Come on, he said, laughing. Don...
The vulnerability in her eyes warned him he’d better be very, very careful. One wrong move and she’d jump in that little BMW and shake the dust of Virgin River off the soles of her shoes, the town’s m...
Task finished, she sat a few minutes longer, very quietly. Then she sheepishly opened the outhouse door, cursing the squeaking hinges as she stuck her head out. She saw nothing, so she took a careful...
