Winning The Widow's Heart (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
She heaped a third helping of apple pan Dowdy onto his scraped-clean plate while he looked on with rapt interest. “I couldn’t possibly have any more,” Jack protested, drawing the plate closer to his chest, his fork poised in the air. “But since you’ve already served some up, I’d hate to see it go to waste. I’ve never eaten a finer meal, Mrs. Cole.” His formal address set her back a notch. “You’re welcome.” He’d been different all evening, though pinpointing the exact difference eluded her. His manners remained impeccable, yet a hint of solemnity colored his actions. His conversation stayed smooth and rigidly correct—almost too correct. Perhaps that was the problem. On the one hand, his deference made her feel important, cherished. On the other hand she felt as if he was holding something back, keeping a part of himself hidden. The change in his attitude had her off balance, unsure how or why their relationship had altered. Instead of alleviating the tension between then, their encounter in the barn had heightened the strain.
