Angel of Smoky Hollow (2010)
“After kisses like that, he wanted her to leave?
She pulled away and walked across to the door, trying to get control of her emotions. Disappointment and frustration warred with anger and pride. She couldn’t think.

Go away from me, he might as well have shouted the words. She thought she might be fa...lling in love with this complex mysterious man and he wanted her gone. How could she have read the signs so wrong?
