      Back Home To The Bayou

      Saying goodbye to Fleur, Louisiana, was all part of Brenna Blanchard’s grand plan. Coming back to the quaint tiny town after a failed art career and broken wedding engagement, however, was not. When architect Nick Santiago recruits her to help restore a beautiful old mansion, it’s just the distraction she needs—and growing close to handsome Nick is an unexpected bonus. Except, he has a heart in need of restoration, too. All business, the only thing Nick can’t manage to construct is a life outside work. Unless Brenna can finally help him arrange his priorities—with love as number one.

      “I think we’re both at a crossroad.” And his seemed to be leading straight to Brenna.

      She leaned against a thick column. “Yes, I guess so. We’ll see what happens, which way we both go.”

      A thick silence hung between them like a low, moss-draped cypress branch hanging over dark water.

      “I enjoyed supper,” Nick said, using the term her father had used. “I hope I can repay the favor one day.”

      “I enjoyed riding in that souped-up car,” she replied. “Now go. I can tell you’re eager to get to work.”

      “You know me already.” Nick took her hand, held it there between them. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

      “Yes. Bright and early.” She pulled away.

      He wanted to bring her back. But then, she might get the impression that he wanted more.

      And Nick wasn’t sure he could give her more.

      So he got in his car and cranked the engine.

      When he turned to wave, she had already gone in the house.
