Adella's Enemy
“Why had he burdened Adella with all his weaknesses? He’d never bared his soul so completely to anyone. If asked about his trip to Galway, he’d just said he had five sisters and was going home to help the one who still needed him.
Only when he got back, Meghan—true to the McGrady sisters’ pluck—hadn’t needed him. His five-year absence, finally earning a decent wage on the transcontinental railroad and sending every penny home, had given Meghan space. Space to stop clinging to the past and ho...vering over a baby brother who now, at age thirty-one, towered over her.
Meghan had found a husband who Cormac grudgingly respected, had given birth to boy of her own, and had a second child on the way. She’d built a new family. After returning his money, she urged him to do the same.
Uncurling from her sitting position, Adella stretched out on her back beside him. His arms ached to hold her. All of her. Every lithe curve.MoreLess
