Invincible (2010)
““Hello, Duchess.”
Bella felt her heart flutter when Bull called her Duchess. It had been his pet name for her during their marriage, spoken with tenderness and love. He’d rarely used it after they’d separated. Right now it sounded…so very good. She waited for the snide or snarly comment that usually followed, turning their post-separation encounters into a cat and dog fight.
It didn’t come.
She eased back into the Adirondack chair situated on the sunny bank of the James River, where both famili...es had gathered for a Mother’s Day picnic, and gestured him into the chair beside her. “Would you like to join me?”
“How are you?” he asked as he stooped under a colorful umbrella and slid into the slatted wooden lawn chair beside her.
Such an innocent question. How should she answer it? She felt the tension gather in her shoulders just from sitting so close to Bull. Felt her heart begin the ridiculous pitty-pat that proximity to this masterful, passionate man always caused.MoreLess
