![]() Shopping for an Heir
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play -- EXCERPT: He smelled like home. Like love. Like promise and comfort, like passion and disbelief. “What’s wrong?” he snapped, his face alternating between joy and anger. “Why are you here?” Coming to her senses, she extracted the thick envelope from her brief bag, looking him square in the eye. “Legal matter. I’ve been instructed to deliver this to you.” She used remarkable restraint in not peering around Gerald to get more of an eyeful of Declan McCormick’s stately form. Then again, Gerald was an impenetrable wall of muscle himself, not easily subverted. She’d need taller heels to peer around him. He did not move his palm from her arm, and his touch infused her, a deeply satisfying sense of connection slowly creeping along her skin, her breath quickening, his touch ringing bells inside her that had been dormant for a decade. “What is it?” “Read it. You’ll understand.” She turned on her heel and started to leave, shaking inside so hard she might trigger the New Madrid fault. He glared at her. “What? That’s it? Ten years and that’s it?” He pulled back, breaking contact. All her anxiety faded, like an antidote injected straight into the heart, his words kicking in, providing such clarity. “Ten years you chose, Gerald,” she hissed, mouth curling, throat seizing. “You do not get to put this on me.” Grief flared in her, a burst like a fireball, and then it turned to the ash of anger, a light coat settling over every spare surface of her heart. His eyebrows shot up, eyes gliding away, his nose twitching and mouth tightening as if holding back. Squaring her shoulders, Suzanne decided to make this easy for him. God only knew why. “My law firm is handling the estate of deceased billionaire Harold Hopewell. You’ve been named in his will.” She tapped the thick envelope in his hand. “These papers explain everything.” “Explain what?” “You’re his heir. One of them, at least.” ![]()
