Mail Order Devastation (Montana Mail Order Brides, book 4) (2015)
“But I can’t go on like this—sneaking around. I love Noah too much to be dishonest. Though she’d tried to go out of her way to avoid lying directly, it felt like lying, nonetheless. Mollie had never been one to lie, and she didn’t want to make a habit of it now. She needed to be fully honest with Noah if they were to have any future. And as hard as it would be on her, she knew that if Noah couldn’t accept Nell, then he wasn’t the man for her…whether she got Nell back or not. She could never... fully love a man who couldn’t love her daughter.
She’d made up his favorite soup and left it simmering on the back of the stove, and set a covered bowl with sourdough to rise so she could make dinner rolls later. Then all she’d have to do when she got home is bake his favorite lamb chops and whip up another cherry cobbler—which had become his new favorite dessert—and she’d have the stage set for a lovely dinner. She hoped it would put him in a good frame of mind for the revelations she would be making later that night. When all was prepared, she left the house, huddling against the wind as she made the long walk to the Deming property. After arriving in her usual spot, she waited a while to be sure she was unobserved, then hastened across the yard to resume her spot behind the stand of juniper, at the conservatory window. A fire blazed in the fireplace, and toys were spread out along the floor, but no one was in the room. Perhaps they stopped to eat lunch. Or the nanny was called to another room to see Vera Deming. She waited a few minutes, sure that they would return any moment.MoreLess
