Excerpt:
Spencer Dean knew her better than anyone in
the world, and in that moment, she knew that she didn’t have to explain. He got
it. More important, he got her.
He reached down and she put her hands in
his, relishing the comfort of their connection as he tugged her gently to her
feet. “They’re gone,” he repeated. “At least for now. And I’m so, so sorry.”
It was that apology that finally got her
mind humming again. That, and the simple fact that having him beside her had
sent relief coursing through her with so much power that she didn’t have any
room left inside her for the irritation and frustration.
“You don’t have anything to apologize for,”
she said. “I’m the one who lost it.” She released his hands and dragged her
fingers through her long, blond hair. “I tripped over my own damn feet and
everything inside me just exploded, but it’s not your fault.”
“Isn’t it?” He cocked his head toward the
den, then pressed his palm gently against her back and steered her off the
sunporch and into the house proper. She sat on the sofa they’d picked out two
episodes ago. This was the first room to be fully finished, and as she settled
back against the thick, comfortable cushions, she looked up at the high, tiled
ceiling and the restored period molding. Not a detail had been ignored, and the
room was a showplace now. And she and Spencer owed that to the television
program as much to their own hard work and planning.
She drew in a long breath, then released it
again. “No,” she said firmly. “It’s not your fault.”
“I’m the one who pushed for Mansion
Makeover. I’m the one who made this show happen.” He sat down next to her,
his thigh hard against hers. Then took
her hand and twined their fingers together. She squeezed, relishing this
connection to him. The man she loved. The man she’d lost once, but had
miraculously regained.
“I want it, too,” she said. “I love this
place.” The historic mansion had been stunning even in its dilapidated state,
and slowly but surely they were bringing it back to life. It was work she loved
with a man she loved. There was just that one little hitch. “It’s only…it’s
just…I mean, I guess I finally reached my limit of being under the microscope.
I don’t normally mind—I really don’t. I knew what I signed on for when I agreed
to do the show with you. But they’re here all the time. And tomorrow—our
engagement party? Except it isn’t even really our party because it was their
idea. Molly and Adam’s.”
She sucked in another breath and leaned
against him. “I know I sound whiney and ungrateful considering that once it’s
over we’re going to have this incredible home. It’s just that every time I turn
around it feels like someone from the production is behind me.”
“I get it,” he said, brushing his thumb
along the curve of her jaw, the contact sending shivers through her. “I really
do.”
Slowly, he kissed her. His mouth firm
against hers. Tender at first, then with rising heat, until the ache inside her
consumed her, so that she gasped with love and longing when he pulled away, his
eyes shining with need.
“And Angel,” he said, “they’re not here
now.”
