Hideaway Cove (A Windfall Island Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
Jessi opened the front door, her smile fading away when she saw him. Not the reaction he wanted from her, but he knew how to be patient.“Is Benji around?” He looked past her, but instead of his son he spied Hold Abbot sitting at her little table. “What’s he doing here?”“Hello to you, too, Lance,” Jessi said.“Where’s Benji?”“He spent the night at Maggie’s.”Lance opened his mouth, snapped it shut. He considered himself an expert on body language; he’d learned to read people well enough to keep his ass out of a sling during his years on the road, even to make a killing once in a while.Add in that he’d known Jessi since they were kids, and he didn’t need to see her cross her arms and raise her brows to know he was treading on boggy ground. He had a lot to lose, he reminded himself. But he was too angry to listen.Abbot sat at Jessi’s table like he owned the place, watching them with a half-smile and narrowed eyes—amused but protective. Proprietary. They’d had sex.
