      Finally—she’d said it. There was nothing between them. There couldn’t be, not now—not ever…

      He came around the desk and stood in front of her. “What did you think I was going to do?”

      “I’m sorry,” she breathed.

      He narrowed his gaze, then without warning reached out and cupped her chin. He ignored the way she flinched at the contact as his fingers pressed against her skin. “What in the hell happened to you to make you like this?”

      Sara drew back, tried to absorb the pain that came with his words. “Who do you think you are?” she whispered.

      He leaned toward her, coming so close that she felt his breath brush her face when he spoke. “Someone who can’t understand where all this anger is coming from, or why you’ve decided to cut off your life for your daughter.” He paused, then said softly, “But then again, I don’t know you, do I? I don’t understand.”

      “No, you don’t,” she said, hating the way her voice was shaking.

      She expected him to turn and walk away. But he didn’t.

      Instead, he looked right at her and said in a low, tense voice, “But I want to…understand.”

      Dear Reader,

      Winning Sara’s Heart, part of my series JUST FOR KIDS, centers on E. J. Sommers and Sara Flynn, two people who aren’t looking for anything more than to be in control of their own lives. That premise always intrigues me—how two people can think they’re in control, only to meet that one person who can change everything.

      This is a Cinderella story. There’s a “prince” and a “princess,” a magical ball, even a “fairy godmother” named Mary Garner, but no wicked stepsisters. However, there is a little girl named Hayley, who loves both the “prince” and the “princess.” She happens to end up in the middle of the magic that proves that even when two people don’t believe in love, it’s all around them and out of their control.

      I hope you enjoy E. J. and Sara’s story and all the magic love can bring to this world, especially when it’s least expected. Please look for the next book in my JUST FOR KIDS series, When Megan Smiles, in March 2004.

      Chapter One

      E. J. Sommers didn’t want to be here. He wanted to be anywhere but in the limousine heading into downtown Houston for a meeting at LynTech. He didn’t want to sit in some stuffy conference room, facing the head honchos across a shiny table and negotiate away part of his own company. If it were up to him, he’d be out somewhere in the open, alone, letting his attorney take care of the whole thing.

      “Everything okay?” Martin Griggs, that very same attorney, asked. “You look…” His voice trailed off.

      E. J. turned to Martin, a thin man in a perfectly tailored, pin-striped navy suit, and with much less red hair than he’d had ten years ago when he’d first come on board with the newly formed EJS Corporation. “Just how do I look?” he asked, his dark hazel eyes narrowing on the man.

      “As if you’d rather be drawn and quartered than do this,” Martin said without missing a beat.

      “Right on the mark,” E. J. murmured.

      “You need to be in the meeting, to show that the power goes all the way to the top, and you’re the one in control.”

      E. J. nodded. “I know.”
