Her Heart For The Asking (Book 1 - TEXAS HEARTS) - Plot & Excerpts
"We're never going to get the truck through this mud without some help," Beau said. "I have a winch if you get stuck, but it'll take too long. Leave the truck and drive back with me." They quickly walked the distance to Mitch's pickup and climbed inside. Mandy sat in the middle between him and Mitch, forced into tight quarters, but already Beau felt the difference between them. She was snug up against him, leaning against his body. Beau had to admit he liked this change of heart, and hoped it wasn't just out of fear for what might be with Hank. She needed comfort to keep her fear at bay and he was going to give it to her. Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he pulled her to him so she was resting against his side. He realized immediately that he needed her comfort as much as she needed his. As Mitch's truck bounced back down the road toward the ranch, Mandy's eyes drifted up to meet his. It nearly broke his heart. She seemed...shattered. He did the only thing he could. He bent his head and pressed his lips against her forehead. "You talk to him," Beau said softly. "He'll listen to you. You're the only one he'll listen to." Mandy nodded her head weakly. It seemed to take forever to reach the ranch house. The sun was sinking below the trees when Mitch's truck finally pulled out front. Knowing the doctors would take measures to operate, Hank insisted on staying home instead of going to the hospital at Corrine's pleas. The paramedics stabilized him as best they could while Corrine had called his doctor. He was just stepping off the porch when they climbed out of the truck.
