The Cowboy's Orphan Bride. Lauri Robinson

Чтение книги онлайн.

      “I told you—I’m here to help. Nothing more.”

      Garth’s eyes took on a smoldering tint that caused her heart to thud. Without looking away, he leaned closer.

      “You have helped,” he whispered. “And I’m going to kiss you.”

      Fully unprepared, Bridgette had no response.

      Allowing that to happen was a huge risk, but the moment his lips touched hers she knew it was the right decision. An expansive thrill raced through her system and she looped her arms around his neck.

      Her lips parted at the first flick of his tongue and the battle was on. Her tongue against his. It was the most dedicated fight they’d ever had. He went on until they were both winded, and then their lips separated by some mutual consent.

      However, as their eyes met their lips met again. That first kiss had immediately become an exploration of unfamiliar ground, but this time it was a gentle journey of territory already discovered and appreciated. She’d known him for years, yet hadn’t experienced the depth of that right now. And, just as she’d imagined, kissing him was utterly amazing.

Author Note

      The “orphan trains” that distributed children across the plains for over seventy-five years have always intrigued me, and I was excited to finally create a story involving this piece of history.

      From the moment I started plotting this book I knew the hero and heroine had traveled west together as children. They hadn’t been childhood sweethearts as much as they’d been the anchor that each of them had needed. Then, as I started writing the story, the characters took over, changing the plot I’d originally created, because although they’d “gone their separate ways” they both still craved the one person who’d made a difference in their lives. Each other. But neither of them is ready to admit it.

      I hope you enjoy Garth and Bridgette’s story as much as I enjoyed creating it.
