Adam scrubbed the dust and dirt off his body, then stood in the shower for a minute, letting the water sluice over his head and contemplating where he might want to go with this.

Or where he should go.

That made more sense.

Where he wanted to go was easy—he wanted Paige. Desperately. Under him, on top of him, didn’t matter. He wanted her in any way he could have her.

Walking up to the house, seeing Denny run toward him, knowing Amanda might be inside, and knowing Paige would be there, too, had given him the strangest sensation he’d ever experienced. As if he could imagine all of them greeting him like that, forever. But as soon as he had the thought, he dismissed it, focusing on petting Denny outside instead. Because Amanda and Denny were a given. But Paige was a strange addition to the equation. Because forever and women—even beautiful, vivacious women whom he’d been thinking about for days on the trail—were not words Adam thought of in the same sentence.

But he had to admit, he’d been thinking about her for a bizarre amount of time. Partly because MacGregor kept bringing her up, asking when Adam might start to put some pressure on her to sell, suggesting that he might do so by hinting at a promise of a relationship. “Women don’t go for simple sex like we do,” MacGregor had said, as a disgusting trail of spittle and barbecue sauce ran down the side of his face. “But if you promise them a future—a house, a baby, a dog—they’ll roll over for anything you want.

Once they were in escrow, he could hate MacGregor all he wanted. And then all he’d have to worry about was keeping Paige off MacGregor’s radar: Who knew what slimy tactics he’d pull with her, or if he’d pressure her to sell to him?

Over the few days, and at every mention of her name by MacGregor, Adam had ground his teeth.

She was too sweet. And vulnerable. And tough. All at the same time. She was fighting tooth and nail to fix that place. But what he admired even more was that she kept lifting herself up when things were going wrong. She came off as funny and confident most of the time, but seeing that vulnerable side of her brought out every fixer instinct he’d had. He wanted to fix her house, fix her sisters, fix any asshole boyfriends she’d had in her past, fix MacGregor’s smirk, and make life easier for her.

Then came the lascivious thoughts. Which he’d planned to avoid. It wasn’t lost on him that he’d agreed to lend her land as soon as he’d seen her cry. That made him more like his father than he cared to admit—blurring the line between business and beauty, responding to a
