Justin met her gaze and saw the awareness in her expression. There was no denying it, no hiding it, and no way, he suspected, of trying to diffuse it. He couldn’t help but wonder how long it had been there between them—if it had been there all along and was just waiting to be fanned into life. “I should go.”She nodded, stepping back. “Did you want to see me about something? I know I’m officially still on duty, but Cassie wanted to help Leah and Mittie with the baking, and Jayden was with you, so I—”“I don’t watch your clock-in and clock-out times, Allena,” Justin said, dumping the shoeboxes on the bed. “I thought you might want to spend some time with the kids tonight, that’s all. Maybe watch a movie.”“I should keep packing," she said, her words trailing off.Justin saw the boxes scattered around the room. It added another layer of finality to the situation. The mood between them was tense and uncomfortable, and his foolish proposal was an elephant in the room. And they both knew i

Once she ended the call with her sister, Allena took a shower and changed into her favourite jeans, a bright silky blouse, and her boots. She was meeting Leah for a drink at the bar in the hotel that evening and was about thirty seconds into their conversation when she asked about the kids.“They’re fine,” her friend said and sighed. “But they miss you. We all miss you.”“I miss you, too.”“Justin’s unbearable at the moment,” Leah said, grinning as she sipped her pineapple aiquiri.“Worse than we expected. My brother is an idiot.”Allena wasn’t going to disagree, but she also didn’t want Leah to imagine something was going on between them. Because it wasn’t. One brief kiss and a marriage proposal aside, she and Justin were not any kind of thing.“He likes his life in order, not chaos,” she reminded Leah. “Once he gets a new routine, it will be situation normal.”“He’s in love with you, Allena,” Leah said bluntly. “Everyone can see that. I mean, everyone but my stupid brother.”Her hea

Justin headed into town and found a parking space near the hotel entrance. It was just before sixthirty when he spotted Allena standing in the hotel foyer, looking so beautiful in a mid-length black dress and heeled black boots that he almost buckled at the knees. Her hair was down and fell across her shoulders. She half smiled when she saw him and walked across the foyer, her hips swaying.“You look lovely,” he said, and touched her elbow, frazzled by the shot of electricity that raced uphis arm when his skin connected with hers. “Nice dress.”“Thank you. Where are we going?”“The honky-tonk place just out of town. Unless you’d prefer to stay here?”“No,” she replied. “I’ve never been there and I hear they do barbecue ribs to die for.”Justin grinned. “I’ve heard the same thing.”She looked at him curiously. “You’ve never been there, either?”Justin’s gaze lingered on her. “Nope.”She waited until their eyes met before replying. “I thought you might have taken hat’s-her-name.”Just

“Have you thought about what you’re going to say at the christening tomorrow?” Allena asked, trying to keep the conversation neutral. “Tess did ask us both to say a few words.”He nodded. “It’s quite the responsibility. My late wife was an atheist, so we never got Jayden or Cassie baptized. I figured they could get it done when they’re older if they wished to.”“I never knew that about her,” Allena mused, then decided to dip her toe in a bit further. “You know, you don’t talk about her a lot.”Justin shrugged. “It’s a bit of a double-edged sword, I suppose. If I say too much, it can upset the kids. If I don’t say enough, well, that can upset them, too. Since Cassie has no memory of her, it’s difficult for her to understand that Jayne is her mother. The truth is, the only mom my daughter has ever had, Allena, is you.”In her heart, Allena knew his words were true. “I never planned on loving them so much,” she admitted.He nodded. “I know. I guess, after her death, I never planned that

Justin looked down into her lovely face, noticing every line and every sweet angle. There was something so incredibly sexy about her, and as he took her mouth in a searing kiss, the sensation almost buckled him at the knees. She was pressed against him, her lovely curves soft against the hard angles of his chest. He deepened the kiss and gently anchored her head with one hand. Leaning closer, he ran one hand down her side, lingered at the underside of her breast, and felt her ribcage through the fabric of her dress.“Allena,” he whispered against her mouth. “Tell me to stop.”“I can’t,” she said and gripped harder, digging her fingers into his shoulders. “I don’t want you to stop.”Justin pressed closer until they were leaning against the car, angling her head so their kiss could have the deepest contact. It had been a long time since he’d been intimate with anyone, but he knew that the feeling of having Allena in his arms was unlike anything he’d experienced before. She was soft and

“How about we go into town and get some ice cream?” Justin suggested, trying to lighten the mood.The kids agreed cheerfully, and they spent an hour in the town before heading back to the ranch to get ready for the planned celebration that afternoon.The christening was scheduled for 3:30, and they arrived at the small chapel in town in plenty of time. The pews were filled with family and friends, and when he spotted Allena, the air immediately rushed from his lungs. She looked lovely in a knee-length, pale green dress with matching shoes. Her hair was up, but the wispy bits falling around her temples were incredibly sexy. He left the kids with Leah and took his spot at the altar beside Allena, achingly aware of her, as the familiar scent of her perfume assailed his senses every time she moved.The service was short and heartfelt, and he was humbled that Mitchael and Tess entrusted him with the role of godfather to little Charlie. He knew how hard their journey to parenthood had been

Justin was neck deep in work on Tuesday morning when he received a frantic call from Leah, saying that Igor, his stepfather had collapsed. He was in an ambulance and on his way to the community hospital. It took Justin just seconds to shut down his computer and then head out to meet his sister in the emergency room as the EMTs were wheeling his stepdad into triage.“I stopped by his house this morning,” she explained, distraught and tearful, and he hugged her close. “I found him on the floor in the kitchen. I don’t know what happened or how long he’d been there. I spoke to him yesterday, and he said he still wasn’t feeling well.” She shuddered. “I should have checked on him again last night.”“You couldn’t know,” Justin said soothingly, trying to hide the panic in his heart.“I called the medic as soon as I got there and saw him,” she cried. “God, I hope I wasn’t too late.”“Did the EMTs give you any indication of what could be wrong?” Justin asked and led Leah towards a chair in the

Allena had no way of getting into a complicated discussion about love and feelings with an eight-year-old, so she didn’t bother. “Of course I do.”For a moment, the boy looked as though he had the weight of the world on his little shoulders. “I wish you still took care of us, Allena. I wish things were the same.”Allena was tempted to offer some platitude about how life was about change and then realised the words would be more for herself than for the little boy she loved so much. She hugged him again and arranged bath time for both children before making a quick dinner of macaroni and cheese, followed by canned fruit with a dollop of ice cream. It was nearly eight by the time the kids were in bed. Cassie fell asleep immediately, while Jayden dozed with a book in his hands. Justin had texted her after seven, saying he’d be home soon, but he didn’t show up until after eight thirty. He looked tired and spent when he walked through the front door with Mittie.“Leah’s staying at Dad’s, s
