hand. “I’m still not going and we have bigger problems. We didn’t use any protection.”
He stared at her for a beat then said, “Then we definitely can’t get divorced until we know if you’re pregnant.”
“Get out. Get out,” her voice was firm and icy.
River took in the anger in her beautiful face and knew that nothing more could be accomplished tonight. He nodded and left.
Chapter Two
T he worst thing about living in a small town was that everyone knew your business within moments of it happening. There were no secrets, which meant heading to the pharmacy for the morning after pill was not an option. She was on her way to Loving, two towns over from hers, in search of the little tablet that would make sure she could get rid of River permanently. She didn’t remember the man being so arrogant in Vegas, issuing orders and acting like she was trying to extort him. As if! She’d tried to divorce the idiot; it was his fault they were still legally wed.
More than a day later and she still beat herself up for being stupid enough to fall into bed with him again, despite how ridiculously mind-blowing it had been. It wasn’t smart, because River tempted her to want, to hope, to dream for things she’d never have. Couldn’t have. She sped up and soon she pulled into the parking lot and walked in, sunglasses firmly in place. The store was relatively empty, which she was grateful for when she sidled up to the counter to ask for the pill.
“Sorry Miss, we’re all out.”
Apparently, the universe was out to get her. That’s what I get for having hot, unprotected sex with my husband . She thanked the pharmacist and walked out into the sunshine and into a brick wall of delicious smelling muscle. She looked up. Of course. “Excuse me,” she stepped around River and increased the pace to her car.
“Kara, wait up!”
No. She kept walking. Her car was so close. She would make it. She had to. But the world hated her, so his hand reached her the same time her hand reached the door handle. “What do you want?”
“What are you doing here?”
“What’s it to you? Or do I now need to account for my whereabouts where you’re concerned?”
“It’s just a fucking question!”
She shrugged out of his grasp. “I came here because I needed something at the pharmacy.” The rest was none of his business.
“But why did you come here, to Loving?”
“You think I’m following you? Jesus, you do have an ego! I came here because I don’t need my whole town knowing I needed the morning after pill!” She turned and slid into the driver’s seat, starting the engine. River still stood too close to her car. She tapped the horn to get his attention. He moved and knocked on her window so she rolled it down. “What?”
“Meet me at my house.”
“No thanks.”
“Why not?”
She looked at him, the clueless fool. “Seriously? Because I don’t particularly like you, River. First you act like I tried to force you to stay married to me, then you accused me of trying to extort you and then you fucked me and handed me a business card! Who does that?” She shifted the car into Drive. “Like I said, no thank you. Take care of that divorce, River.” She drove away without looking back.
The last thing she needed was to get entangled with him again. After three days in Vegas, she’d been a little in love with him. She didn’t want to risk any more of her heart to a man who obviously thought he was better than her. “Been there, done that. Ain’t going back.”

“The way I see it you have two options: pay her or make her fall in love with you.” Dean leaned back in his chair and stared up at his cousin, astonished and disappointed all at once. “I can’t believe you didn’t tell me.”
“Yeah, well, I thought this had been handled nearly a year ago.” He plopped down in the leather chair across from Dean. “And I doubt she’ll take my money or fall in love with me.”
“She married you, so
