Lawman's Redemption (2002)
““I’m not surprised Sandra raised a self-centered brat. She intended for her little girl to be a mirror image of herself, and since she’s a spoiled brat…”
Hallie considered all the things she could say, and settled on the most innocuous. “You married a purple-haired, pierced and tattooed girl?”
“No,” he said sullenly, then unexpectedly he grinned. Sort of. “I bet it drives Sandra crazy to look at her.”
“And anything that drives Sandra crazy can’t be all bad, right?”
The sort-of-a-grin faded. “Why is she so angry?”
Hallie glanced toward the hallway, then stood up. “Let’s go see the horses.”
On the way through the kitchen, he stirred the spaghetti sauce, then picked up a handful of apples and tossed one to her. She took a bite as she went out the back door and down three steps into the yard.
“Hey, that’s for the horses.”
“I know. I’m just making sure it’s nice and sweet for them.”
His yard was broad and long and, she would bet, pretty much self-sufficient.
