Is it possible she’s finally found Her Kind of Man?
Ross Williams has been in love with Kara Cochrane since they were kids so
when Kara's fiancé Brandon Miles cheats on her and calls off their wedding—Ross
steps in to rescue the damsel in distress.
A heartbroken Kara just wants to get on with her life and hunky Ross
provides her with a definite distraction—that is until she starts falling for
him. Big time.
But a devastating family secret threatens to destroy everything that Kara
holds dear—including her relationship with Ross.
Excerpt:
Kara laid the kitten beside
its mama, but before she could get to her feet, Ross gave her a little push and
toppled her over into the hay. A second later he stretched out beside her.
“What’s your hurry?” He
closed his eyes and teased Kara’s lips with his own. “Hold me.”
Kara didn’t mind if she did
because Ross felt good in her arms. The fragrant, warm hay that kept her safe
from prying, curious eyes gave her a feeling of security. Her arms slipped
around Ross who kissed her again.
Punch-drunk from the
destruction of so many hopes and dreams, kissing Ross still sent little shivers
up and down Kara’s spine. Her entire body felt warm, pliant, and alive. She
made no protest when Ross grabbed her bottom to pull her against him.
Ross did, though. He made a
strange sound low in his throat, pulled out of her arms, and sat up.
“What’s wrong?” Kara
whispered. “Hold me, Ross. I like it when you hold me.”
Ross ran a hand across his
face. “I can’t, Kara. I want you too much. If I don’t stop now I won’t be able
to.”
“Does it matter? We’re
getting married in less than two weeks.”
Ross’s eyes blazed as his
breath quickened. “If we could be sure nobody would interrupt us…. No, Neil or
Bobby might walk in. Last thing I want them to see is my naked rear end.”
Sounds like she's found her man! And I love it that he's level-headed enough to stop before they're found with naked rear ends! So is it your anniversary? If so, have a wonderful day!
