By page 71 I came to like the male protagonist--Alex--less and less. He's overbearing, patronizing, controlling, egotistical, arrogant and chauvenistic. He lacked any charisma towards Emma until they spent more time together. He's disrespectful towards her. At this point, I was thinking that ...
Mrs. Nash was taking a strip off a delivery man. Philippe was fussing over the temperature of the butter cream icing. And Katie was running around in a robe, worried about rose petals in the bathwater.Only Emma seemed calm, serene really as she went along the hallway past Hamilton’s portrait.They...
She’d never said anything remotely that bold to a man. She made beeline back to the Jacobs’ table, her emotions vacillating between rattled, embarrassed and just plain annoyed. She was a grown woman. Where did he get off protecting her from herself? As though she wasn’t capable of making up her o...
Cole held the phone to his ear as he watched the dust billow out behind the doctor’s deep-treaded SUV tires. “Hey, Cole,” his sister-in-law answered cheerfully around the whistling of a teakettle. “What’s going on? Where was Sydney last night?” “Can you come down to Grandma’s right away?” “Why?” ...
“Hey,” he said, coming up behind her. He didn’t ask and didn’t wait for permission before wrapping his arms around her waist, nestling her into the cradle of his body. “Do you think she was happy?” Kaitlin asked. “Yes.” “Did she love your grandfather?” “As far as I could tell.” He hadn’t spent mu...
Cara used the helmet and a scarf to camouflage her identity as they headed back into town. But it turned out she needn’t have bothered. The town was busy, people focused on repairs to the ski runs and on the final rescue activities. A few fingers pointed at Max when he dismounted and removed his ...
He was making a colossal mess of everything. He was supposed to be gaining her trust, not scaring her off with talk of flings in haylofts.“What?” she asked.“I’m sorry,” he began. “I didn’t mean to—”The band went suddenly silent, and the arena plunged into darkness. An instantaneous whoop went up ...
The waiters wore period tuxedoes, and a big band played a jazz tune on a low stage in one corner of the room. On Alec’s arm, Stephanie glittered. Her rich, auburn hair bounced in a halo of tight curls to her bare shoulders. It was pulled back on one side by an elaborate, rhinestone clip, which ma...
Crista had vetoed the idea of leaving town again. She was tired of running from her problems. But Ellie had begged her to reconsider. She reminded Crista that they’d been talking about a girls’ getaway and how it would give her time to think. Then Jackson had added that th...
She was soaked to the skin, both from the rain pelting down on them and the waves splashing over the bow, threatening to swamp the little boat. They’d come frighteningly close to capsizing a couple of times. And when Logan turned the canoe over on shore, several gallons of water dumped out, makin...
Royce’s body reacted to the sound of Amber’s voice. He hefted a hay bale onto the stack, positioning it correctly before acknowledging her presence. “Yeah?” He didn’t turn to look at her. It was easier for him to cope if only one of his senses was engaged with her at a time. He only hoped she’d k...
Tuck said to Amber as he gazed at the aftermath of the party in the huge, high-ceilinged living room of his family’s home. Though staff had been ubiquitous throughout, she could see the mansion showed the effects of hosting two hundred people. The midnight buffet was being...
She hadn’t been crazy about the gray dress, either. She might have mixed emotions about attending Lisa’s wedding. But if she was going to be there, she wanted to help celebrate, not bring anyone down with such a somber color. She stripped out of her suit and pulled on a kn...
He’d had his secretary calling moving and storage companies this morning, but they all said they needed an estimate of the volume to be moved and stored. So Caleb had to figure out what to keep and store, and what to sell with the ranch. He couldn’t see the point of keeping the saddles and tack. ...
After she’d lied to her brother Travis this morning about where she was going, she’d promised herself she’d give Zach one day. She’d work fast. She’d work hard. And he’d have everything he needed to apply for his license. Then she’d spend the night in Lyndon, head back to the ranch and forget she...

She was told the state had put together a commission to consider new state-wide regulations for rail expansion, and they wanted to hear from her. Marta offered to hold down the fort at Sierra Hotel so Darby could travel to Denver and, hopefully, inspire the state to intervene in the Lyndon Valley...
