Ryan nearly winced, caught himself just in time and managed to croak out, “Oh, yeah?”
“She seems…sweet.”

Everyone loved Laurel, including the man who’d gotten her pregnant—or so he claimed. He’d run out on her the moment he’d discovered she was pregnant.
“She’s a good girl.”
Something sparked in Jorie’s gaze, something that made him instantly regret his words. Damn it. She was too smart. He realized that was part of his attraction.
