A Father for Zach (2010)
“This morning he’d been on top of the world, looking forward to a future that seemed bright and promising.
Now he was facing the very real possibility of more time behind bars.
Leaning forward in the pew he’d occupied every Sunday since he’d arrived on Nantucket, Nathan rested his elbows on his knees, dropped his head into his hands…and fought back the urge to throw up.
Though that would be a fitting conclusion to his miserable day.
Danielle Price’s insinuation that he’d stolen her bracelet had ...been bad enough. That alone had sent raw terror drumming through his veins. After the past eight weeks of freedom, the mere prospect of returning to prison was sufficient to cut him off at the knees.
But the doubt in Catherine’s eyes had been worse.
He massaged his brow, trying to knead away the ache pounding in his temples. As lethally as a sharp knife could slice through a carotid artery and sever the flow of blood that kept a body alive, her lack of trust in him had severed the emotional connection between them that had given his soul—and his heart—new life over these past few weeks.MoreLess
