The Texan’s Contested Claim by Peggy Moreland

This house had always been Ali’s home, her refuge. Yet now, as she moved from room to room, she felt nothing but emptiness.

She blamed her sadness on being forced to leave. But she knew the true cause of it was the man who had briefly shared the house with her.

The scent of him still hung in her bedroom, a reminder of that first night he’d come to her there. And when she curled up to sleep, she envisioned him braced above her there, in her bed.

She shrugged away the troubling thoughts and went back to packing.

And if she had to wipe away an occasional tear, she blamed it on the dust she was stirring up. It certainly wasn’t because she was missing Garrett Miller.

She told herself she hadn’t fallen in love with him, but she had – and he’d deceived her.

Christos arched an eyebrow at her. He said nothing more, and the silence built around them. Ava brushed her hands down the sides of her skirt and told herself she wasn’t still the small-town girl he’d once seduced. But she felt like she was.

She tried to figure out what to say, but all the words running around in her head sounded banal. Best to be blunt.

“So…why are you here?”

“To claim your son, the Theakis heir.”
