Mckettricks of Texas: Garrett (2010)
“Garrett asked.
Julie, startled half to death, stopped on the threshold of her small sitting room, one hand pressed to her heart. She’d just tucked Calvin into bed and listened to his prayers.
“You scared me,” Julie said, although that was probably obvious.
Garrett sat, relaxed, on the sofa, with Harry snuggled right beside him. The dog’s muzzle rested on Garrett’s thigh and, barely acknowledging Julie’s arrival, the animal casually rolled his luminous brown eyes in her direction but otherwise d...idn’t move a muscle.
Not exactly protective.
“Sorry,” Garrett said, but the grin quirking at the corner of his mouth belied the sincerity of his apology.
Julie didn’t retreat, but she didn’t move forward, either. She just stood there, and this was not at all like the self she knew, and that was irritating to the nth degree. Of all the men who might have breached her defenses, why did it have to be this one?
“Julie?” Garrett prompted, stroking Harry’s ears, evidently willing to wait as long as necessary for an answer to his question.MoreLess
