Claiming Her Heart
““Maybe,” she said in a breathy voice, her gut telling her she’d never be able to hold a grudge against this man, no matter how hard she might try. “But it hurt, Blake. A lot.”

“Oh.” When he put it like that, it was…sweet.
Controlling, but sweet.

“I know. I’m sorry.” He reached up, cupping her cheek tenderly in his hand.
