the following excerpt for Her Wish Before Christmas:
“Are you the one leaving bloody footprints in the
store? Your grandmother’s going to have a heart attack.” The man stared down at
her, holding the door open with one arm, the lamp base in the other. He rested
the plastic appendage against the doorframe and took a step closer, his face
clear in the light of the workroom.
“Connor?”
“Let me have a look.” He knelt and grabbed her foot
and held on tight when she tried to tug it back.
“Ouch.” She pulled her foot away from his prodding.
“Sorry. Cut’s not too deep. A Band-Aid and some
Neosporin is all you need.”
Connor O’Rourke? The
Connor O’Rourke? Twelve years hadn’t changed him much. Except he turned into a man. And one fine man at that.
Jesus, did he grow after
college? His
arms and chest sure had.
Heat blazed a fire across her cheeks when her
roaming gaze met his. Same cocky grin. Embarrassment couldn’t stop her from
comparing this Connor with the then Connor. His hair was cut shorter, but the
rich chestnut color hadn’t dulled. No hint of gray at the temples, no balding
either. So that night of drunken cursing
for him to grow fat and ugly didn’t take. Figures. What’s the use of gypsy blood if my curses don’t work?
“I didn’t know you were in town,” she asked, proud
she had kept the hysterical out of her voice.
“I wasn’t until this week. I’m setting up a practice
at the new clinic down the street.” He stood and helped her up from the floor.
Connor F’ing O’Rourke back in town and looking too
delicious by half. She licked her lips and swallowed at the sudden dryness in
her mouth. The hurt and anger returned with a swift jab to her heart rivaling
the sting of glass in her foot. The feelings so fresh, like she was eighteen
again and waiting for the proposal that never came. Don’t go there. You’re over him.
