The Bounty Hunter's Forbidden Desire (2014)
“If that was the case, the only way for her to verify it without disturbing him was to prop herself on one elbow and gaze down at him.
That was how she discovered he wasn’t asleep. Flat on his back, with brawny arms folded behind his head, hands linked, he stared up at the ceiling. The expression in his eyes was a revelation.
There was no question what he was feeling. Guilt. A naked, raw guilt.
Not all guilt was the same. It existed for different reasons, took different forms. Haley ...knew this, just as she knew she was the motive for this particular guilt.
