A phone call would have wakened him. As for Nic, she didn’t dare contact him and start anything. Tomorrow she’d ring Maurice, who would communicate any news to his grandson. Once she was back in her condo and settled, she phoned her mom to let her know she was back. Then s...
The meeting with the therapist in Billings earlier today had gone as he’d imagined. He didn’t need a doctor to realize he’d been in a morose state since his eye injury. It was all part of his PTSD. But Dr. Holbrook had emphasized that there was one thing he needed to do before all else. Deal with...
Her sister suffered from bad morning sickness and helped with their grandmother and took care of Paolito while their mother did the cooking and the dishes. Her sister-in-law Maria did the house-cleaning. Everyone had their chores. Clara liked running the stand. Their farm did big business with ou...
The concierge called to her. “You have mail, Ms. Chamberlain.” She saw a postcard from Rich Bonner, his fourth, forwarded from the post office in Philadelphia to her temporary address here. His persistence irritated her. There was also a letter from Wharton. The school was no doubt reminding her ...
He got up and out of the house before anyone else stirred. After leaving a note on the counter that he’d be at headquarters if Natalie needed to talk to him, he left in his car. A rug-cleaning service van was parked across the street. He nodded to the guys and drove downtown. &n...
He studied the oval of her face, the passionate curve of her mouth so close to him he felt her breath on his lips. Moonlight illuminated the inside of the cab. Those solemn blue eyes were once again searching his. That was the way she used to look at him, as if he held all the answers to the univ...
Vic got out of the Ford Super Duty F-350 Platinum crew cab truck he was using for his undercover role. It had New Mexico plates and a decal of the Lipan Apache Nation on the back window. He locked it, looked around and then walked to a brown van parked two cars away in the packed casino parking a...
In fact, she heard and saw so many things already, she was starting to experience turmoil. Johnny was eating up all the attention Carson showered on him. It would continue nonstop until next Saturday when they flew home. With all their own family and work responsibilities,...
As soon as he replenished his food supply, he’d be leaving again. To his chagrin, he still needed support to move around, but had traded in his crutches for a cane. He used it only when he was exceptionally tired. His right-hand man, Yannis, a seaman who’d worked for the f...
After signing it, she handed it to Connor, who was sitting at the kitchen table with the phone still in his hand. He glanced at it. “What’s this?” “Before you give me trouble, I want you to know I already added the word generous to that list I’m kee...
“Yes.” Pain filled her tone and expression. Jeffrey hadn’t meant to hurt her and felt shame to have caused her any discomfort. But he couldn’t help himself. His thoughts darted hither and yon. “Will you stay at the convent indefinitely?” He’d decided to steer the conversation in another direction...
Sami called softly to announce her entrance. At the sound of her voice, Ric’s black eyes shot to hers and he sprang to his feet. The way he was looking at her underlined what Daimon had said about him being worried. She hadn’t meant to alarm him. He...
Five days without seeing Vasso felt like five years. In the time they’d been together, they’d confided in each other about the very personal things in their lives. He knew information about her she hadn’t shared with anyone else. Zoe loved being with him. She ached for his company. He brought exc...
By the time Colt turned his car onto the highway, the plows had already been out to clear it for the rest of the drive into Bozeman. The clouds had opened up, allowing the sun to shine through. Under normal circumstances, it was his favorite kind of winter day, but today had a different feel abou...
“I’ve been ready for this a long time.” Andrea stood there outfitted in white silk, carrying gardenias. A lace mantilla covered her hair. “You look like your mom did on our wedding day. Absolutely gorgeous.” “You’re going to make me cry, Dad.” ...
For Vincenzo to put it so bluntly meant he and his mother-in-law had exchanged harsh if not painfully bitter words. But he was a realist and had decided the only thing to do was meet this situation head-on. He expected Abby to handle it because of their long-standing friendship over the years. &n...
Zane laughed. “Hey, sport. I can see you on my computer. Can you see me?” “Yes.” “Did you get those little cars I sent you?” “I like this one.” The three-year-old held it up for Zane to see. As far as he was concerned, Skype ...
“There goes an exceptional man,” her father murmured. His remark brought her head around. “Why don’t you tell your mom and me what’s going on? We don’t know you like this.” She couldn’t hold it in any longer. “A few days ago Luckey asked me to marry him, but he knew it was...
“I’m glad you did. Now there are no more secrets between us.” Before Carolena could stop him, he rained kisses all the way to her mouth, dying for his first taste of her. She turned her head away, but he chased her around until he found the voluptuous mouth he’d been aching for. ...
