New town…
New set of problems
Suddenly single—and pregnant—Abby James hopes Three Springs, Texas, will give her the fresh start she craves. But five minutes in and she’s already clashed with a former Navy SEAL on horseback. Wes Tanner might be devastatingly handsome, but Abby has no time for romance. Especially with a man intent on leaving town. Abby wants to plant some roots…and falling for the tempting Texan could upend all her plans!
Abby crossed one foot over the other and gazed at the
cloudless sky. “I can’t remember the last time I sat and stared at the stars.”
“Boone built this deck for his wife. He says it was his
favorite place because it was her favorite place first.”
“I can see why.” Abby sank into the cushions, relaxing into
the silence. “You could fall asleep up here, counting the stars.”
“You never counted stars on the beach in Santa Cruz,” he
said.
“No.” Not with Clint. Not even by herself. Abby traced the
Big Dipper with her finger. “When I was a kid, my dad and I would make hammocks
or bring our cots from our tents and watch the sky for shooting stars.”
Sometimes it took only minutes, sometimes hours before they
saw one. Sometimes she fell asleep before she’d even come up with her wish. But
her father had always been beside her, encouraging her to never stop reaching
for the stars. The memory warmed her. “What about you? How many nights do you
spend up here, getting lost in the nighttime sky?”
“Most nights, actually.” He shifted in his chair. His voice
deepened into mysterious and vague. “But tonight is somehow better.”
“It was probably the good meal.” She angled her head to look
at him. “Never discount the power of good, homemade food.”
“Maybe.” He reached toward her, curved his fingers around
hers. Gentle. Confident. Steady. Like his voice. Like his presence. “Still, I
could look forward to more nights exactly like this.”
Abby stared at their joined hands. Palm to palm. Fingers
entwined. The perfect fit.
And suddenly, with her hand tucked securely inside Wes’s, it
became everything to the woman she was now.
