Housekeeper Under the Mistletoe (2015)
“The gravelly rejection rang in Angie’s ears for long moments after the door had clicked shut.
Oddly, her first reaction to the door being slammed in her face was relief. She reminded herself she no longer wanted men to find her attractive. It was dangerous. Plus, if he was deranged, he could have taken advantage of the isolation to pull her inside that house. Instead, he was dismissing her.
Though, looking into the strong cast of his face, the intelligence in his eyes, the confidence of... his bearing, derangement did not seem like even a remote possibility.
She recognized her relief at the closing of the door, in part, not just because he was obviously not a pervert just waiting for a damsel in distress to land at his door, but because she had reacted to him in a very primal way, and she could not tolerate that in herself.
In the past year her fiancé, Harry, had abandoned her in favor of a beach in Thailand, and a more exciting companion, and now she was being stalked by a maniac.MoreLess
