A Family for the Teacher
Lily St. George dreams of marriage and a family of her own. But as a temporary kindergarten teacher, she can’t get too attached to anyone in Oaks Crossing. When a student brings in her single father for show-and-tell, Lily is drawn to charming cowboy Mike Kinley. Working overtime to save his struggling horse farm, Mike claims to have no room in his life for love. But when they team up to start a riding school for children at his ranch, Lily knows she’ll have to help Mike see their partnership is meant to be permanent.
“Thanks for making time for me today,” Lily said with a smile.
“No problem,” Mike responded. “Sorry it wasn’t much of a riding lesson.”
The sweet smile warmed to something he didn’t quite understand. And wasn’t sure he wanted to.
“Actually, I learned a lot. About you.”
“Yeah? Like what?” he asked.
“That you don’t hesitate to put yourself in danger to help an animal when it’s in trouble. That says a lot about a person, don’t you think?”
“I guess so,” he hedged, feeling awkward and proud at the same time. He wasn’t used to being praised for simply being himself.
“Someone like that is just the person I want teaching me. Do you think you can work me into your schedule again soon?”
“How ’bout Monday at four?” he heard himself ask, cringing at the eager tone in his voice.
Since he couldn’t take it back, he did his best to act as if seeing her again that soon didn’t matter all that much one way or the other. When deep down, he knew it did matter. A lot.
MIA ROSS loves great stories. She enjoys reading about fascinating people, long-ago times and exotic places. But only for a little while, because her reality is pretty sweet. Married to her college sweetheart, she’s the proud mom of two amazing kids, whose schedules keep her hopping. Busy as she is, she can’t imagine trading her life for anyone else’s—and she has a pretty good imagination. You can visit her online at miaross.com.
