Kids on the Doorstep Kimberly Van MeterThree bedraggled, neglected little girls bring out John Murphy’s fiercest protective instincts. When their mother shows up, he’s ready to do battle. But Renee Dolling wants to make up for past mistakes. She’ll prove she’s the mother her daughters deserve and the woman this rancher needs.Cop on Loan Jeannie Watt Playing bodyguard to a librarian is not the career move big-city cop Tony DeMonte had in mind – especially with Jasmine Storm endangering herself every other day. He can’t stay in this small town forever, can he? Jasmine may just change his mind…
KIDS ON THE DOORSTEP
Renee closed the door and paced her small living room.
She twisted her hands in agitation, not quite sure what she’d hoped would happen just now, but definitely disappointed that nothing at all had happened.
Yet the very fact that she’d looked into his eyes and felt a tingle zing from her stomach to her feminine parts made her extremely wary. She wasn’t supposed to be attracted to John Murphy. The man had complicated her life in a way that should make him Public Enemy No.1 in her eyes, but she was slowly seeing him in a different light.
And that was not good. Better to keep the battle lines firmly drawn. They were not on the same side. They were simply being civil to one another for the sake of the kids.
Cop on Loan
She opened her door to a tired-looking cop.
He couldn’t have had more than a few hours’ sleep, but there he was, wearing the faded blue jeans and dark T-shirt that appeared to be his standard off-duty wardrobe.
Jasmine looked past Tony to the truck parked at the kerb with a mattress and box spring in the back and a giant dog in the cab.
“That’s your dog?”
“I told you he was big.”
“That’s not big. That’s economy size.”
He laughed and she felt the impact of the unexpected transformation. He was surprisingly attractive when he wasn’t being condescending or annoying.
“You’re sure about this? Having me move in?” he asked, the laughter fading from his face.
This was probably the last time he’d give her an out.
Her last chance to bail.
