Serena Stanhope fears her dark past might ruin the life she’s built as a successful shop owner. Especially when handsome Logan Masterson suddenly arrives in town asking questions about her background. He seems to have his own secrets, but the pair share an instant connection and Serena finds herself falling for Logan. He could destroy everything—or he could be the chance at love she thought she’d never have…
Excerpt
Serena pointed down. “Turned
ankle.”
He kneeled down before
her, his hand lightly grazing her skin as he examined the injured joint. An
unwanted but undeniable shiver rushed over her. Good grief, he was only being a
concerned citizen.
“I’m fine,” she told him,
trying to shift away as his warm fingers palpated the bone.
“You should probably have
it checked out,” he said, rising when he got the hint she didn’t want him in
her personal space.
“It’s not bad. I’ve injured
it before so I can tell. A little bit of ice, ibuprofen and keeping my foot up
should do the trick.”
He didn’t look convinced. “You’re
sure?”
“Positive.” She’d been
taking care of herself for a very long time. This minor setback was no
different. “What’re you doing here so early?”
“Grandmother needed a
report from me. Thought I’d beat the city traffic and drive up here early.”
Was that his only reason?
His unwavering attention had her guard up big-time, which was a shame. If she
was going to blow her life up over a guy, Logan would make it really easy.
“Why don’t I help you get
home.”
She waved him off. “It’s
right here.”
He looked up. “So, you’re
living over the store?”
“Yes. The apartment was
empty and your grandmother was kind enough to let me move in.”
“That’s Grandmother.
Always looking out for others.” His gaze caught hers, full of meaning. “That’s
why I look out for her.”
Warning received. “Then we
can both agree, your grandmother is special.”
His intense expression
softened and a smile played around his mouth. It lit up his entire face and
almost put her at ease. Almost. It was his body language that had Serena
deciding to call this conversation quits.
“So, I’m going to go
upstairs to get ready for work.” She inched from her position. “Thanks for
checking on me.”
One dark eyebrow rose. “No
way I’m going to leave you alone. I’ll follow to make sure you’re okay.”
Her inner defenses reared.
“Really, go do your thing.”
He stood his ground.
“Stubborn man,” she
muttered under her breath as she resumed her wobbly journey to her apartment.
“Did you say something?”
“How thoughtful of you,”
she said over her shoulder.
Her reply earned her a burst
of laughter.
She straightened her
shoulders and gripped the railing. After only two steps, Logan swooped in
beside her, his strong arm wrapped around her waist. She shot him a cool stare
despite the riot going on in her stomach. He smelled way too good and was way
too close for her peace of mind.
“What do you think you’re
doing?”
“I can’t watch you
struggle. It’s too painful.”
Her voice rose as she
said, “I’m the one who twisted my ankle.”
“And I’m the person who is
going to make sure you don’t fall down the stairs.”
She held back an eye roll.
“I’m capable.”
“No one said you weren’t.”
His voice caressed her skin as his breath wafted over her cheek.
Torture. Beautiful
torture. Why did she respond to this man the way she did?
