When Molly meets her intimidating new boss, Beatrice, she’s judged by her last name and fancy connections—not her talent. But Molly’s no pushover. She loves her job with the Washington Wolves and won’t let anyone doubt her. A powerful project with Amazon lands in her lap, and now, she must prove she’s more than just a pretty face.
It was part of why I reacted the way I did in his kitchen, I came to realize later. The flame between us had simmered the entire time I was separate from Jude. All it took was being in the same room, and my skin went incendiary. It’s a terribly helpless feeling, if you think…
With a glance at my watch, I stood from the couch. “She’ll be here shortly. I suppose I better go change my shirt.” “Smart boy.” She paused. “You didn’t make her take the train from Oxford, did you?” “No. She said a neighbor let her borrow her car.” “I’ll get out of your hair.” She…
“Do you like animals?” “Depends on which kind. Dogs, yes. Cats, sometimes, if they’re not trying to claw my eyes out. I have a complicated relationship with sheep because I was raised on a sheep farm. I think fish are pointless, and I am out of my mind terrified of horses.” Lia laughed softly. What…
Someone on the coaching staff passed us with a murmured greeting, and after he passed, I gestured to an empty pressroom so we could have some privacy. Declan preceded me in, sprawling out in a black desk chair. “Oh, bleeding hell, he’s shutting doors and everything,” Declan murmured. “That bad?” Bracing my back against the…
“Lia?” “Yeah. I’m here.” I sank against the wall again. “I need to apologize for how I reacted last night. I was a total arse.” “Yes, you were.” She sighed heavily. “But … I shouldn’t have stormed off either. I guess the insinuation that I was lying didn’t … sit well with me.” Before I…
The day our nephew was born was so clear in my mind. But in our strange little family tree, he felt like our little brother. Logan and Paige had been married for a year when she got pregnant, and even though Logan had been the legal guardian to four girls, adding a fifth into the…
“Shit,” I whispered, my voice wavering, my chin wobbling. What a stupid thought to have in my current predicament. If I was at home right now. The first tear slipped out, and it took every shred of self-control to hold in the sob that wanted to follow it. My hand was shaking so badly that…
I kept my face averted from the camera, partially because, well, I was peeing on a stick, and also because if I saw her face when she said that … I’d lose it. The cap went into place with a tiny click, and I balanced the test on the ledge of the mirror above the…
Everyone in my life wanted me to do better. Do more. My manager wanted me to be faster. My brother simply wanted me to try. A small corner of white caught my attention, a warped image of serviette appearing behind the bottle of amber liquid on the bar cart. I walked over, smiling when I…
Her reference to Yorkshire—where the Bront? sisters grew up, where they lived their lives—made me smile. “Ah, no. But I can’t wait to go.” “I think between now and when we meet again, you should. Spend a few days there, in fact. Immerse yourself in their world, which was vastly different than if young ladies…
