Читать книгу Jake's Biggest Risk - Julianna Morris, Julianna Morris - Страница 3

“How much time have you spent in the U.S.?” Hannah asked as she swept.

“Almost none,” Jake admitted. “I have a small work studio in Costa Rica, but I’m hardly ever there, either.”

Lord. Hannah couldn’t imagine living like that, with no real home, just a suitcase.

“Traveling can be fun, but I’m mostly a homebody,” she said, raising her chin and practically daring him to comment.

“Yeah, I figured. The domestic stuff is okay, but home, marriage, kids—those things would end my career.”

Hannah stared. “That isn’t the first time you’ve mentioned that, and it’s starting to sound like a warning. I don’t need to be told to keep my distance. If I get married again, it’s going to be to someone stable and caring who can put me and my son first. It certainly won’t be to a man with one foot out the door and a habit of risking his neck. So save your warnings. I’m not interested.”

Hannah began putting cups in the dishwasher, thinking about the mixed emotions on Jake’s face…emotions too complicated to fathom. One thing was quite clear, however—Jake Hollister didn’t understand people who wanted a home.
