THE COLD WINTER WIND WAS a stark contrast to the warmth of Molly’s kitchen. Quinn tried to blame the shivers that he felt on the change of temperature. But even before he’d gotten in his car and started the motor, he felt the change in his breathing.

It had to be the kiss.

He’d intended a friendly kiss. A reaching out to say thank you for the day. But once he’d tasted her, he couldn’t back away.

He’d only been thanking her for the dinner, the invitation to the birthday party. Or congratulating her on having raised such a perfect child. That was it. Sara was a remarkable little girl. He wanted Molly to know he liked spending time with Sara.

As he began backing out of the driveway, ruthless honesty had him shaking his head. Okay, he was attracted to Molly. Too much attracted. After all, there was no future in a relationship with someone like Molly. He wasn’t going to be tied down to a home life, raising a child, running errands.

He had places to go, people to see. Important people.

So why was he staying in Tyler for the weekend?

Because Molly was his client, and he felt responsible for the success of the open house, since it had been his idea.

That excuse worked. Excuse? Why did he need an excuse? He’d stayed in Tyler more times than not since he’d moved back. There had been a few trips, but—

He needed an excuse because of his family. Because of his friends. Because of his reputation. If he was going to continue to protect himself from match-making, husband-hunting women, he needed to be thought of as a jet-setter, a man with no ties, no interest in ties.

Panic began to build in him.

But he could fix it. He knew just what to do.

All it would take was a phone call.
