Chapter Eighteen

MISS HATTIE’S WASN’T QUITE WHAT Pastor Sean Robbins had expected. And he wondered if he hadn’t taken a wrong turn until he got close enough to read the large sign about trespassers being prostituted. Some might find the sign funny. Sean just found it brazen and infuriating. Especially when he thought of the poor women who were being taken advantage of. He had hoped that Sheriff Hicks would take care of the situation, but the sheriff had the audacity to imply that Sean had misunderstood the entire episode with Marcy. Of course, Sean had refused to give the sheriff her name, which was probably why the man couldn’t do a better investigation.

Sean pulled his Jeep into the circular driveway and got out. Well, the sheriff might not be willing to do anything about the house of ill repute, but he was. He had tossed and turned all night, his mind consumed with thoughts of Marcy Henderson offering her favors. Not just to him, but to other men.

Sean just hoped he wasn’t too late.

He climbed the steps of the porch and lifted his hand to the door knocker that actually resembled a pair of… His eyes widened, and he pushed the doorbell instead. A young woman in a formal gown answered the door. She looked disappointed when she saw Sean, but quickly hid it behind a bright smile.

“Welcome to Miss Hattie’s,” she said. “You must be Mr. Sedberry from California.” She didn’t wait for a reply before she ushered him into the house, reciting the history of Miss Hattie’s as she led him toward the stairs.

Sean started to correct her mistake and then realized that God had just handed him the perfect opportunity to prove what was taking place in the house. If this girl found out who he really was, he didn’t doubt for a second that the hens would try to pull the wool over his eyes like they had with Sheriff Hicks.

The young woman led him to a room on the second floor. He expected red satin sheets and dim lighting. Instead, the room was decorated in virginal white and sunshine. He waited for the young woman to proposition him, but once she had shown him the room amenities, she headed for the door.

“Dinner is at six,” she said before she turned and sent him a smile. “And someone will be up very shortly with the house specialty. I can guarantee that you’re going to love it. All men do.”

The door closed with a click, and Sean found himself alone in the room. A room that, for all its virginal white, turned out to be more seductive than Sean first thought. The comforter on the bed was fluffy and inviting. The lace curtains on the window frilly and feminine. And the bouquet of lilacs on the nightstand sent out an aroma that was calming and at the same time arousing.

No wonder Miss Hattie’s had done so well in a time when men outnumbered women. The henhouse offered everything a single man’s life was missing—everything Sean’s life was missing.
