This is an important moment here.”
“It’s important to me, too.” He tried to put everything he was feeling into his voice. “I know we just met a week ago, and we can take things one step at a time, but, Darcy? Now that I’ve got my head out of my ass I don’t plan to let you go.”
The way she looked at him he wondered if she could see clearly into his soul. Then she smiled and leaned towards him.
“Don’t worry, Jack. I love you, too.”
He felt as if two tons of pressure had been lifted from him. “You do?”
“Uh-huh. And yes, we’ve only known each other a week and we’ve got a lot to learn about each other. But I’m game if you are.” She looked at him intently. “And I’ve just got one question.”
“What’s that?” he asked. “This better not be tricky.”
“Can we go back in the house now?”
Jack let out a cry of triumph, swept her up in his arms and carried her inside.
“A woman after my own heart,” he told her. And as he bent his head to kiss her, he amended, “A woman who owns my heart.”
“And a man who owns mine,” she said in a soft voice, lifting her mouth to his.
About the Author
I always wanted adventure and change in my life, and I certainly got it. I grew up in Maine, a beautiful place to live, then lived in the Midwest and Florida. Now I make my home in the Hill Country of Texas, truly God's chosen place on earth. My husband, David, was a sixth-generation Texan, tracing his roots here back to the time when Texas was a Republic, so retiring here was a dream we finally fulfilled.
I've had a lot of firsts in my life—first female sports reporter on The Michigan Daily at the University of Michigan; first woman to own a rock and roll agency in Detroit, the home of Motown; first woman president of the Pasco (Florida) Economic Development Council.
I graduated from the University of Michigan with a double major in English and History, and a minor in Economics, and went on to have at least four careers. When my children were small, I satisfied my need for writing by working for weekly newspapers. I had a wild and wacky time managing rock and roll bands. I joined the insanity of retail with a string of shoe stores. I worked in fundraising, public affairs and community relations. But writing fiction was always my dream. I had a lot of stops and starts, but it wasn't until we retired that I could devote myself to it full time.
My wonderful husband, David, encouraged me and supported me in my dream and you’ll find a little of him in all my heroes. Our children are all grown and on their own, and are my biggest fans.
When I'm not writing I'm an avid reader—anything and everything—and watching football, especially my beloved Michigan Wolverines. David and I golf and target shoot, and of course enjoy life in the gorgeous Texas Hill Country, where most of my stories are based.
I am a member of Romance Writers of America, and San Antonio Romance Authors, Diamond State Romance Authors, and Passionate Ink chapter of RWA.
