Excerpt

“Is that really what you want?” What if I wanted it to be me? Elsie searched his face.

His chin dipped, quick and certain. Then he released the counter and eased around her without making the slightest contact.

She could’ve reached for him. Stopped him. To what end? To ask him to dance with her only to realize she wanted another and another. But she had her own life—and career—to build in New York.

The one she’d diligently researched and mapped out. The one that would prove she could live outside the pages of her books. Outside her comfort zone. You’re too content watching life being lived around you, Elsie. But I’m ready to go live it. Without her, it turned out. Her ex-husband had never asked Elsie to join him. Never asked what she’d been ready for.

But Elsie was ready now. To create her own success in a big city where she could thrive. Yet a cowboy like Ryan wasn’t meant for city life. He was meant for everything she couldn’t offer. Like open country roads, long sunrise horseback rides and her trust.

Her trust that what she felt between them was something more than a flicker. Something worth risking her heart for. Because she was done handing over her heart only to have it returned broken. Something about her cowboy warned her that he could steal her heart and break it before she even knew it.

Elsie kept her arms at her sides. Then twisted and watched him leave. Best get used to it. After all, she would do her own leaving one day soon enough.

At the back door, he turned around and watched her for a beat. Then one more. Finally, he said, “What I really want is to kiss you, Elsie Marie. But sometimes we just don’t get what we want.”
