Оглавление“What did my mother say to you?”
Roxy forced herself to look at Steve. “Your mother’s worried. She thinks you’re falling in love with me.”
“I am.”
Those two words turned her world topsy-turvy. “You can’t be. We said neither of us wanted a relationship.”
“I didn’t think I was ready. I thought all my heart could hold was grief, but I was wrong. There’s space for you there, Roxy.”
Roxy’s shoulders stiffened. “Don’t love me, Steve,” she said. “Your mother’s afraid I’ll break your heart, and I will if you love me.”
“If you’re about to tell me that you don’t care about me, then I won’t believe you,” he said.
“I do care about you,” she admitted. “I care about you more than I’ve ever cared about a man, but that doesn’t change the fact that I never intend to invite a man into my life.”
“What are you afraid of, Roxy? Why are you so afraid to love…to be loved?”
Men of Wolf Creek: Small-town lawmen charged with finding the lost...and uncovering true love.
