Christmas Star (Contemporary, Romance) - Plot & Excerpts
Starr gave him money to pay the delivery man and on impulse mentioned Barclay McLeod. “To what do we owe the visit from Mr. Barclay McLeod?” The portly gentleman smiled. “Such a nice young fellow. So polite. Mrs. Blevins is still in a swoon.” He winked. “Just joshing. Actually it was good to discuss outside maintenance with someone who can get things done. I send letters, but I’m never sure they get read. That last storm did some roof damage. Mr. McLeod said he’d take care of everything. He paid a visit to every owner before he left. Said he’d be back, too.” Starr’s heart plummeted. So he’d visited everyone, had he? Clever man. Who would believe his talk with her had been any different from the others? It’d be her word against his. “Why will he be back?” she asked. “I mean, won’t he hire a contractor to oversee the work?” “No. He said he’s a hands-on kind of guy. Hey, your food’s getting cold. The delivery fellow’s waiting, and Mrs. Blevins’ll give me what-for if I’m late for dinner.”
