Predicting Rain?

Predicting Rain?
Mary Anne Wilson

When Business Leads To Pleasure…With her long flowing hair and her tie-dyed T-shirts, Rain Armstrong is the complete opposite of every woman conservative businessman Jackson Ford has ever found attractive. Yet the moment she looks up at him with her big brown eyes, Jackson aches to touch her. And when the little girl who's been left in his care, a child who hasn't spoken a word in weeks, suddenly begins chattering away with Rain, Jackson knows there's more to this free-spirited therapist than meets the eye. But can Jackson change his workaholic nature to become the permanent daddy Victoria needs–and the husband a woman like Rain deserves?Just for Kids: A day care where love abounds…and families are made!

“So you think you have me pegged?”

Jackson asked innocently.

“I did.”

“And now?” he said in a rough whisper as he touched her. Just the tips of his fingers on her chin, bringing with it an intense heat.

Rain’s awareness of him was so strong that it literally had her rooted to the spot. “I don’t know,” she said honestly. He was closer now, so close that all rational thought vanished.

“You don’t know what?”

She couldn’t answer. Rain knew nothing about this man who’d come into her life so unexpectedly, throwing her off center, making her think things she had no business thinking.

But none of that mattered. Because when he touched her, then slowly lowered his head to kiss her, nothing else in this world existed.

Nothing but the two of them and this one perfect moment.

Dear Reader,

The idea of opposites attracting is as old as time and never loses its appeal to the romantic at heart. That concept sparked the idea for book one in my current JUST FOR KIDS day-care center series, Predicting Rain? I created two people so different there didn’t seem to be any way they could ever find each other. But, as in real life, things happen that you never expected, and the heart is as unpredictable as the weather.

Writing about Rain and Jack was touching and lots of fun, but making sure they found each other and lived happily ever after was the best part of all.

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my JUST FOR KIDS series. I hope you enjoy this story and the next two, Winning Sara’s Heart (2/04) and When Megan Smiles (3/04), as much as I enjoyed writing them.
