Excerpt

Jillie glanced up from the pot of chili and froze. The back door softly
closed, and Mack pushed into the mudroom. She watched as he parked his hat
on the bench beside the back door and hung his coat next to hers in the
closet, then strolled into the kitchen.

This feels a little too cozy. “What the hell?” she said.
“I thought you’d gone.”

He tossed her a sarcastic grin as he approached the kitchen island.
“Nope. I’m here. At least for the night. Guess we both need to
get used to it.”

“Why?”

“Weather and other stuff.”

“Is it that bad?”

He ignored her. “Did you get a nap?”

“Yes.”

“Good. By the way, I’m still on babysitting duty,” he
added.

“Oh my God, Mack, I can manage.” Jillie bristled and narrowed
her gaze. “I don’t need a sitter.”

“I’m still here anyway.”

“Well that’s ridiculous.” She turned back to the chili.
But the smirky smile he gave her right before she did—one that half
crossed over into dangerous sexy waters—unnerved her a bit. Flustered,
Jillie dropped the ladle into the chili. The hot soup splashed onto the back
of her hand and she jerked away. “Crap. Ouch!”

She snagged Mack’s gaze as he stepped forward. His intense glare
unnerved her so much that she didn’t see him reaching for her
hand.

 “You lost the spoon,” Mack said. His fingers were still
cold from working outside. He lightly touched a knuckle. “You okay?
Those knuckles look red already.”

And they stung. She pulled back sharply, but not completely out of his
grasp. “Um. Yeah. I’m fine.”

“No, you’re not.” He tugged her closer, his blue eyes
dancing. She locked into his gaze and he held her there for a few seconds,
while her heart did a little flip-flop. Leaning in, he lifted her hand to
his lips, and licked off the chili spatter off.

One. Knuckle. At. A. Time.

Mesmerized by the action, all Jillie could do was stand there and let him.
His tongue dragging over her skin sent a revolving skitter of desire through
her body and jump-started the months-buried yearning for him in her
heart—and elsewhere. Every delicate nerve ending connected to her
hands tingled with anticipation. Where else might he lick?

Her lips?

Neck?

Um…?

Stunned at the heat of his touch, Jillie attempted to stifle the shiver
racing up her spine and keep her hand from shaking. She wasn’t
successful. After what seemed a suspended moment in time, he stopped, and
his gaze drifted up to meet hers.

Those blue eyes twinkled back. She trembled a little inside while her
tongue made a quick swipe over her suddenly parched lower lip. Mack’s
gaze immediately dropped to her mouth, and she willed down the flipping
butterflies in her stomach.

She stepped back and jerked her hand away.

Romance – Carter’s Cowgirl

Romance – Carter’s Cowgirl

Carter’s Cowgirl
By Melissa McClone

Carter Quinn has one goal—to make his organic farm a success. Working the land leaves no time for romance, but that’s okay with him. He’ll do whatever is necessary to take Quinn Organics to the next level, including hiring a consultant.

Avery Scott loves helping her consulting clients succeed while proving she’s more than a pretty face. Being disappointed and hurt one too many times keeps her from getting close to others, but Carter’s work ethic and kindness tempt her to lower her guard.

As the two work together, Avery’s commitment to helping make Carter’s dreams come true touches his heart. She fits perfectly on his farm, and he can picture them as a couple, even though her job will take Avery away from him. He wants to show her what they could have together, but is she willing to take a chance on him…and love?
