Luke put his elbow on the kitchen table and lazily leaned his chin into his hand, watching. Amused. And so glad some other Riordan male was taking the heat. Sean
They’d only gone a few steps when she whacked him in the back of the head. Ma! he yelled, a hand going to his head as he whirled on her. Holy Mother Mary, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! Were you...
Oh, for God’s sake, she spat out. Just say it. You’re involved with someone and it doesn’t work into your plans to spend time in Virgin River! That’s not it, he said nervously. You know everything abo...
What brought you up here? Ah, long story. I was looking for a change. I was a nurse-practitioner and midwife in L.A. and took a job here—population just over six hundred. It was supposed to be for a y...
Oh, boy, Mike thought. It was going to happen between these two any second, right in the hospital hallway. Mike was a good six feet and pretty strong, but Brad and Jack were both taller, broader, angr...
I have some bad news, my sweet girl. One—you can’t change people. If he doesn’t change himself, you’re flat out of luck. And two—you want what you want. Need what you need. I keep looking for a compro...
Ah. I knew I forgot something. It’s the reason I came here, to you—it wasn’t just because I needed your touch to help make me stronger. It was so much more than that. I couldn’t be away from you a sec...
All our friends were rich and they worried about having the most, spending the most, trying to figure out how it could make them the best. They trusted no one. You know that silly saying, he who dies...
Tell you what I’ll do for you, she said, looking up at him. When Mattie’s a little older, I’ll have this IUD removed. We’ll get you started on your own small herd. That made him smile. That would be n...
As Sean watched the proceedings he missed her so bad he ached with it. Letting her get away was one of the great tactical errors of his adult life. He should have found a way to convince her they’d be...
Baby girl, you haven’t done anything wrong. You’ve been through such a lot. Well, in my sane state, I know that. Jack knew about my problems, and he just hung in there, just kept loving me and loving...
Somewhere in the night, sounds came from Jack’s bed. He was fitful, rolling around, muttering in his sleep. Mel went to the bed, sat on the edge and touched his brow. He grumbled something unintelligi...
You know, you could ask Preacher to come up with some meals that don’t stir up that heartburn so much…. Why would I do that? He’s a dream in the kitchen. Well, I’ve asked him for some low-fat meals. H...
Oh, Jack, she said, leaning against him again. Please, I don’t want to ever fight with you. He lifted her chin with a finger. Don’t be a candy ass. You fought good. You won, as a matter of fact. But i...
I’m remembering how it was when I first got here—there was a bird’s nest in the oven. She looked up at him. You rebuilt this whole cabin for me—trying to get me to stay. The second I saw you, I was do...
I had a good job, made good money, was taking good care of my kids. That club is totally legal. Maybe it’s not tasteful, but it’s legal. Most of the women dancing in there are single moms. That judge—...
You would have been impressed, Luke. She never flinched. She knew all the right things to do and remained perfectly calm. Efficient, skilled, confident. Mel smiled. She’s going to be an incredible nur...
Just me tonight. Vanni’s gone up to Oregon with Paul for a few days, and I don’t rate much time with Tom while he’s on Brenda’s dance card. Oregon? Jack said with a lift of his brow. You don’t say? Wh...
Here’s another thing—I can’t get any cell phone reception here. I should let my family know I’m here safely. More or less. The pines are too tall, the mountains too steep. Use the land line—and don’t...
Hey, Jack, Rick said. And Jack looked up. Holy God! Rick said, jumping back. Man! Yeah. Kind of ugly, huh? Who hit you? I ran into a door, he said. Nah, Rick said, shaking his head. That door has a na...
