ALL HE’D WANTED was his three weeks of peace and solitude. No people, no stress, no demands.

Instead, he’d walked way too many steps down memory lane to revisit a past he’d preferred to ignore, talked to more people in five days than he usually did in a month and spent three days driving halfway across Texas and back.

And become obsessed with a woman about to marry another man.

As he turned off the highway toward Jerrick, Laramie gave brief consideration to driving on through to El Paso and catching a flight home.

But Sammi Jo was waiting.

After their phone calls over the past three nights, he didn’t plan on keeping either of them waiting any longer. Because, damn, those had been some great phone calls.

He was surprised that it wasn’t the sexual elements of the calls that stood out in his mind. It was the conversations. The shared thoughts and laughter. Maybe it was because those had been the first phone conversations he’d ever had with a woman that lasted longer than three minutes, but he hadn’t realized that he’d had so much to say.

Laramie shook his head as Alan Jackson gave way to Luke Bryan on the radio. Finding out that he could talk for hours was nothing compared to the shock of discovering how interested he was in what Sammi had to say. And when she’d started talking sex again? Hot damn. Laramie turned up the air conditioner. Just thinking about it was getting him hard once more.

Knowing danger when he was getting off to the sound if its voice, he’d decided not to call Sammi the next night.

But when his cell phone had rung while Laramie was searching for sleep on the too-soft motel bed, he’d answered. Instead of Barclay, they’d talked about their jobs. About her dream of traveling someday, about his pride in being a SEAL. They’d discussed favorites and shared their taste in everything from food to music to holidays.

And then, of course, they’d had phone sex.

Laramie slowed as he hit Main Street, wondering what it was about Sammi that had him acting so out of character. Was it like an illness? Something short-term that he’d get over after some mutually naked bed rest? Or was it fatal?

Since thinking about it was giving him a headache, Laramie did the unthinkable. He ignored the problem. Instead, relying on gossip and a few vague memories for directions, he parked his truck in the lot behind Fiona’s Arts & Crafts, skirting through the alley toward the back of the inn. He checked cars as he went to be sure they were empty, then after testing the garden gate to ensure its silence, set foot on Barclay property for the first time in years.

And, dammit, lightning didn’t shoot from the sky.

Resigned to disappointment when it came to this town, Laramie paused inside the gate to listen, then, his senses on full alert, he moved silently through the night-darkened garden, taking care to stick to the shadows. As far as he was concerned, he’d already seen too many people.
