Outlaw For Christmas (9781101573020) (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
No surprise there. How could a man sleep when his entire future had gone to hell? He’d never figured himself for a jealous man, but ever since he’d ridden away from the Kellys’ last night, jealousy had bubbled in his belly, hot and near painful. He was furious, too, and embarrassed by the uncommon excess of emotion. He was a reasonable man, but what he felt for Ruth had never been reasonable. He’d loved her from the first moment he’d seen her. Or maybe it just seemed that he had. How could he fall in love with a girl at the age of twelve and remain in love with her for ten years, especially when she felt nothing for him beyond friendship? Leon loved to be needed. When he helped others, he felt as if he were accomplishing something with his life. From the moment she’d walked into school, Ruth had needed him. Watching over her had made him feel stronger, more in control of his life and the world around him.
