Snippet:
Normally, Ashley could talk about her business for hours without coming up for air, but something about Wyatt left her so askew, she could hardly hold two thoughts together. As though an invisible magnet pulled them toward each other, their gazes collided, and they scooted closer.
Work-roughened fingers grazed across her cheek, and his eyes darkened until they were nearly black in the fading sunlight.
“You are extraordinarily lovely, Miss Jarrett,” he said in a husky tone that threatened to leave her too wobbly-kneed to walk back down the hill.
“You’re quite handsome yourself, Mr. Nash. I’m pleased we had this chance to meet.” Ashley slid a little closer to him and lowered her lashes, convinced he was about to kiss her.
Then, like being doused with a bucket of cold water, the reality of the situation splashed over her. Hastily, she moved away from him and snapped her shoulders back, giving him a guarded look. “In spite of this … um … interest between us, I’m not in a position to pursue a relationship with anyone. I have all I can handle with my career, and I have no intention of getting involved with one of Chase’s friends.”
“Well, I could say the same thing.” Wyatt looked away from her and released a sigh before he glanced back at her. “Glad we cleared that up. If you stop making moony eyes at me and trying to lead me astray, there won’t be any missteps on my part.”
“Moony eyes? Me?” she asked in a raised voice, affronted. “Lead you astray? Why, I … you … That’s a …”
“Uncle Wyatt?” Livy yelled as she ran up the hill. “Daddy said I should come find you. Are you with Princess Ashley?”
