A Suitable Wife: A Sweetwater Springs Novel - Plot & Excerpts
He clicked off the alarm and turned to Rosie. She slept, one arm thrown over her head, her hair in wild disarray around her face. Last night’s emotional rollercoaster showed in pale skin and puffy eyelids. Both gave her a fragile appearance when nothing could be further from the truth. It had taken strength to bear the burden she’d lived with for years. He slipped from the room and called Sara, asked her to open Rosie’s Posies with the insinuation that Lorelei’s continued teething had caused a sleepless night. In truth, she was the only one of their little family who had slept peacefully. After Rosie’s tears had ceased, they’d returned to spooning. He’d had no intention of acting on the erection that had resulted, but she’d pressed against him with an urgent need. Their joining eased physical aches, but was too desperate to erase the certainty that something had gone terribly wrong between them. It was a singularly peculiar experience and they lay awake for a long while afterward without touching.
