Читать книгу A Cowboy In Her Arms - Mary Leo - Страница 3

Callie stood only a few feet away from Joel.

She was so close he could almost reach out and touch her, but he controlled his desire.

“They have a sense about them, horses do. It was a tough day, Joel, and I’m sure they’re glad to be home.”

“We all are. Thank you for keeping yourself and my girl safe this afternoon. I’ll be forever grateful.”

Callie smiled and he wanted to drop to his knees right there. A mere thank-you didn’t seem like enough. Not only was he grateful for his daughter’s safety, but he now realized just how grateful he was for Callie’s safety. He couldn’t handle it if anything happened to either one of them.

“Not a problem. I was only doing what I’d been trained to do from years of driving a truck on my ranch.”

He took a step closer, hoping she wouldn’t move away. He felt drawn to her, as if he’d lost all power over his emotions.
