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.
Someday, I might build a shrine to Agnes, commemorating the fact that Claire thought she was a sweet old woman stuck in a snowstorm as opposed to the devil cat she actually was, thereby granting me more time with Miss Ward. But today would not be that day because when the drive to Scotty’s cabin…
I tugged my sweatshirt on and walked out of the bathroom, giving him a questioning look. He scratched the side of his jaw. “I know, Scotty, but I’m sure she’s okay.” He grimaced. “Yeah, I heard it could be bad, but come on, we’ve lived by those mountains for how long? You’ve been there a…
By morning, my back would be bent in half, and my neck would be so jacked up that the best chiro would need seventeen appointments to fix the damage. Plus, it smelled like mothballs. “It’ll be just fine.” “You’re lying to me, aren’t you?” I turned my head to look at her. Her eyes were…
“No,” I admitted. The houses grew as we traveled around the winding road surrounded by towering trees and glimpses of water. “No, you weren’t. Listen, the worst part of this is that you have to pretend to like me for a day.” He said it flippantly, but there was an edge to his words. For…
Besides, I’d caught the look in her sister-in-law’s eyes when she told me she’d destroy me, and I abso-friggin-lutely believed her. Claire didn’t answer me because she probably knew all of the things I was thinking. “At least give me one of the good pillows,” I told her. Holding up the small one from the…
“I’d wager he was pretty busy raising you and your sisters,” Richard said. “With your mom leaving like she did.” Claire swallowed carefully. “He was. Not many people know details of our background, though. He kept our life very private for that reason.” I increased the pressure of my fingers on her shoulder, just letting…
Speaking of warm, my face was probably bright-ass red. Lia scoffed. “He better not.” “Damn right, he better not,” Paige said. Isabel grinned at me. “Pretty sure that’s up to Claire, not you two.” “Claire does not go for guys like Bauer,” Lia argued. “She likes her men sane and kind and polite and not…
Bauer, for me to go anywhere with him that involved sharing the same roof. Now I was thinking about Finn. Because he would’ve been polite and sweet. Unassuming. He would’ve taken my bag and called me Claire, and it would be comforting because I knew what to expect from him. As Isabel asked Bauer some…
I raised an eyebrow. “Taking advantage, are we?” “Hell no. We were relaxed. Not drunk. I don’t sleep with drunk women because trust me, that’s a whole different world of trouble when you wake up the next morning.” “This story is leading to all sorts of romantic places.” He grinned. “In my mind, you grabbed…
“Because rich people do weird things, princess.” I shrugged. “He won’t be in Seattle tomorrow, and apparently, a little quality time with you, me, and the parents sounds like his idea of a rockin’ weekend.” “Why are you saying yes to this?” Lia asked me. “You and Adele can hardly stand to be in the…
