“Jane,” Cade whispered. “You gonna let her stop us, let her keep us from each other?”
She was looking at his mouth. So dangerous. So exactly what she longed for. She realized she was biting the inside of her lower lip. She made herself stop. “It’s not only my mother.”
“What else?”
“You know what,” Jane answered. “We don’t want the same things.”
“That’s right.” The very sound of Cade’s voice was like a tender hand, stroking. “We do want different things. I want you. You want me.”
“Very funny.” She wasn’t laughing. “I mean we want different things in life. So this can’t go anywhere.”
“Is it so necessary for a love affair to go somewhere?” Cade asked.
“Not as long as you’re having that love affair with someone who isn’t me.”
“But, Jane,” he answered, “I thought you understood. I don’t want to have a love affair with someone who isn’t you.”

came to her profession the long way around. Before settling down to write about the magic of romance, she’d been an actress, a salesclerk, a janitor, a model, a phone sales representative, a teacher, a waitress, a playwright and an office manager. She insists she never had a problem keeping a job—she was merely gaining “life experience” for her future as a novelist. Christine is grateful not only for the joy she finds in writing, but for what waits when the day’s work is through: a man she loves, who loves her right back, and the privilege of watching their children grow and change day to day. She lives with her family in Oklahoma.

“M om?”
Virginia Elliott turned from the window. “Ah. Thank you, dear.” Jane gave her the fresh-cut blush-pink roses she’d just wrapped in a cone of newspaper. “So lovely…” Virginia brought them close, breathed in their scent. “You do have a way in the garden. Your aunt Sophie would be proud.”
Jane’s beloved Aunt Sophie Elliott had been a single lady all her life. When she’d died, nearly three years ago now, she left Jane her beautiful old house and the gorgeous garden surrounding it.
Her mother turned back to the window. “I notice your new neighbor is СКАЧАТЬ
