Excerpt

“I’m sorry I’ve been behaving like a jerk.”

The corners of her pretty mouth tilted upward. “Oh.” Dropping her arms, she shifted from one sneaker-clad foot to the next. “In that case, please, go on.”

“You’ve brought something to Shepard’s life that he’s never really had.”

Her brow puckered. “Such as…?”

“The way you interact with him. You treat him as if he’s special. That his thoughts and opinions matter.”

“That’s just common decency, Ryder. You know, the whole ‘do unto others.’”

“Yes, but he rarely got that from his mother.”

“What does that have to do with you behaving like a jerk?” One eyebrow arched in a playful manner.

He stretched out his arms before clasping his hands atop his head, knowing what he was about to say was going to make him look even worse.

“I was afraid he’d get attached to you only to be disappointed when you leave.” There, he said it.

Excerpt

While the boys took off down the hall with Molly, Tessa remained beside Dirk, moving at a more leisurely pace. “Thank you for inviting us tonight. In only a matter of minutes you have opened my eyes. Now I’m starting to envision the potential for the barn at Legacy Ranch.” Her sweet fragrance wrapped around him, sending his mind down a trail it had no business venturing.

“Believe it or not, you and the boys are the first people outside of my family to see this place.” He cringed as soon as the words spilled out. He must sound pathetic.

Her steps halted as she looked up at him. “Are you serious? How long have you lived here?”

“A little over two years.” Shoving his hands into his pockets, he longed for a rock to crawl under. “I guess I’ve become a bit of a hermit.”

She continued to watch him, her scent wrapping around him, making it difficult to look away. Yet instead of the sympathy he expected to see, he saw only understanding. “Trust me, if it weren’t for those two—” she nodded toward her boys “—I would be, too.”

Staring into her beautiful eyes, he found himself longing to come out of hiding and truly live again. But to what end? Tessa would be leaving in August, and he’d find himself alone once more.

Excerpt

Pulling her into his arms, he never said a word. Just held her close enough that she could feel his breath on her ear. How easy it would be to melt into him. It had been a long time since she'd been held in a man's strong arms. Even then, they had belonged to Brady.

He could still make her heart flutter. But that didn't mean they belonged together. Look what happened the last time.

No, they were only together now because of the boys. She was only here because she promised to help Brady. But, oh, how she wished this dance didn't have to end.

Excerpt from Her Christmas Healing

“Jillian…” He stood and started to reach for her, then thought better of it. “Just because I don’t understand doesn’t mean I won’t support you. I was taken aback, that’s all. Choosing to keep a stranger’s baby, well, that takes a lot of guts. I admire you.”

Pausing, she nodded. “I appreciate that. I mean, this certainly isn’t how I envisioned becoming a mother. But God doesn’t always work things out the way we expect. What He does promise, though, is to work all things together for good to those who love Him. That’s what I’m clinging to, regardless of what anyone else thinks.”

“As it should be.” Meaning he needed to stop dwelling on what might have been and focus on being the friend she needed now.

Realizing it hadn’t thundered in a while, Gabriel moved to the door, shoved the peach-colored curtain out of the way and peered outside. “Looks like the storm has passed.” Sadly, Jillian was still caught in the throes of a different kind of storm.

He turned to face her. “I should go. We both need some rest.” And he needed to process. His gaze fell to Aggie sitting at Jillian’s feet. “I think she likes you.”

Jillian gave the dog a rub. “I’m growing rather fond of her, too.”

He opened the door. “Aggie, come.”

But the dog remained at Jillian’s side. Because whether she knew it or not, Jillian needed Aggie.

“How would you feel about letting her stay here tonight? She’s housebroken and generally sleeps through the night, so I don’t foresee her keeping you awake.”

Jillian scratched Aggie’s head. “I don’t know. What do you think, Aggie? Do you want to stay with me?”

The dog lay down on top of Jillian’s slipper-covered feet.

Gabriel smiled. “I think you have your answer.”

EXCERPT

He studied the remarkable woman across from him. “Paisley, I believe I owe you an apology.”

“For what?”

Still holding her hand, he stood, rounded the table and pulled her to her feet. “For underestimating you. You are a strong woman, stronger than most men. Myself included.”

“I highly doubt that.”

“I don’t. The fact that you were able to move past your pain and start a new life here in Bliss, all the while holding tight to your faith, is something to be admired. It makes me ashamed of how I treated you in the past.”

“Now who’s pitying me?”

“Paisley, the only pitiful one here is me.” It really bugged him, the way his hackles used to go up whenever he was around her.

“That’s not true. You’re a good man.” She released his hand and moved toward the window. “This rain isn’t going to let up anytime soon. What do we do about the castle?”

“We wait. It may be a few days before we can get back in there.”

Yawning, she nodded. “I think I need a nap.”

At least her mood seemed to have improved, so he wouldn’t have to worry about leaving her while she was down. Problem was, he didn’t want to go. Like someone who’d just uncovered a rare treasure, he wanted to stay and admire it.

And that was a problem he’d never anticipated.
