Wifed By the Mountain Man: a Modern Mail-Order Bride Romance
“For a moment there, in the hallway with Amelia, I swear I looked at her and wanted her for more. Wanted her for everything.
But shit, that is way too much too fast. I didn’t plan on being a father, and I sure as hell don’t want a wife ... a real wife.
Except when I looked at Amelia—with her eyes half-closed, her mouth parted, her soft skin and tender touch—I couldn’t help but wonder if going all-in with her is really the worst idea.
At dinner, it’s clear Amelia’s pulling back, and I... see her mind working as she feeds Hope spoonfuls of peas and carrots, as she plates spaghetti for her and me. We clink wine glasses … but damn, it’s tense.
“You wanna talk about something, Amelia?”
She gives a short laugh. “Talk? Wow, you’re a completely different man from the one I met eight days ago.”
“Well, eight days ago I was a fucking sleep-deprived zombie.”MoreLess
