Tender Trust (2013)
“He sent Lexie up to her room to play and made sure Jewel and Inga were occupied in the kitchen.
It was frustrating, trying to find a private place to talk. But since Penny made it even more difficult by avoiding him, he was almost done with those precautions.
She paused in the doorway. If not for the falling snow, she probably would have found some reason to stay outside until he left. Her attitude was so apparent; he almost smiled, but his patience was too close to its end.
She closed the door..., hugged the shawl close and crossed the room with a purposeful stride. It seemed, during her moment of hesitation in the doorway, she’d decided to take the bull by the horns. One thing about his wife, she wasn’t lacking in courage…at least not his new wife.
The old Penny would never have faced him down. But this Penny…he watched her walk towards him, her green eyes flashing, and smiled. This woman stirred his blood in ways she never had before.
“I don’t understand you.” She kept her voice pitched low.MoreLess
