Her Texas Hero. Kat Brookes

      “You know what they say about the way to a man’s heart.”

      She stiffened visibly, and Carter wanted to rope the words he’d just spoken and yank them back into his mouth.

      “I should get going,” she said, pulling her van keys from the purse slung over her shoulder.

      “Audra,” he said apologetically, knowing she wasn’t looking to be part of any man’s heart. She’d made that pretty clear. Friendship was as far as anything could ever go between them. But he found himself wanting more.

      He chose his next words carefully.

      “I know what you’ve gone through and understand your need to be guarded. But the truth is, I’d like to move beyond a working relationship where you’re concerned.”

      “Carter,” she said in a panicked whisper, “please don’t.”

      “Friendship, Audra,” he said determinedly. “That’s all I’m asking for. Like you, I’m not looking for anything more right now,” he added, hoping it would ease her worry. It wasn’t a lie. He knew that there would be no “right now” with her.

      But tomorrow, or the day after… Well, that was another story.
