Dalton couldn’t explain what came over him. All his secret dreams and hurts gushed from his mouth. Letting River in was dangerous. She wouldn’t stay. She would leave him. Go back to her home thousands of miles away. He would be crushed. Heartbroken again.

She had one thing right. No internal pep talk could convince his heart to stop drawing closer to her. He saw the train wreck coming and was completely powerless to stop it.

He cleared his throat and reiterated his earlier question.

“Why are you here?”

“Oh, yeah. I never did answer that. My last two books are underperforming and I’m under contract for three more. Cowboy romances are crazy hot right now and my publisher gave me the choice between cowboy or Amish.”

Dalton’s head jerked back, and he chuckled. “Amish? I definitely can’t picture you writing something like that.”

The way she scrunched up her face had him laughing inside.

“Me either. I didn’t think I could write cowboy romance. I know nothing about your lifestyle. Or at least I didn’t.”

His heart thrummed in his chest. “But you think you can. What changed your mind?”

“You.”

Air stuck in his chest. His pulse raced, and his heart yearned to be important to her—despite all the sirens in his head warning him away from a relationship with her.

“Watching you. You’ve inspired me. I guess you could say you are my muse.”

Was that good? Did that mean she was interested in him? She had let him kiss her. She even returned his kiss, stirring a longing in him stronger than he had ever felt.

“I think I said too much.” She glanced at the floor.

No. Don’t stop.

River pulled her braid over her shoulder and loosened it. While she looked at the corner of the room, she finger-combed it. Did she have any idea how incredibly sexy she looked right now?

“Tell me about it,” he whispered, wanting to keep her talking, prolonging the connection with her.

“My book?” She snorted. “You don’t want to hear about a romance book.”

“I do.” To his surprise, he really did. It was important to her, so he wanted to know about it.

“I’m breaking all the rules. My entire process—I’ve tossed it aside with this one. Last night… Goodness, was that really last night? I remembered your barbed wire story. My mind started churning.”

She glanced away. “Honestly, I fell asleep right away, but then I woke up at midnight.”

River let out a slow breath, her shoulders rising and falling with the effort.

“The words were just there. It’s hard to explain. Some books are like that. The idea smacks me upside my head. The words flow. It’s almost like the Spirit breathed into me and I can’t stop writing. Those are my favorite books. It becomes about something bigger than just River Sloane. There’s a message.”

“What’s the message in this book?” he asked, eager to know more.

“Everything in life is about God’s timing, His design. Even when we don’t see it. Even when circumstances make little sense. Like me coming to Vargas Ranch. When I boarded that plane last week, I did not know…”

Her words faded.
