Harrison fell harder for Grace every moment he spent with her. Turk was right in that she was the most beautifulest woman in the world, but her intelligence, her wit, her passion for football and Southern houses, and the way he felt when he touched and kissed her—not to mention a thousand other little details that were solely Grace—had him wrapped up like a football in a running back’s arms.

She made a fuss over Moriah’s roast and potato dinner, especially the rolls and pecan pie, which were delectable. Baking was Moriah’s specialty; she used to bake every day for her friend Trin’s bed and breakfast before she met Jace.

Throughout the tour of the house after dinner, Grace and Moriah became instant best friends. After the tour, Turk begged Grace to swim with him in the pool. She swam like she was born in the water, and her tanned legs and arms looked perfect to him in her one-piece suit. Too many times she caught him staring at her, and sometimes he caught her staring at him.

They swam until dark and then went to their own suites to shower. Though this home was built in the mid-1800s, the mansion had been remodeled so most of the suites on the second and third floors had their own private bathrooms.

Harrison showered quickly but had no desire to go to bed. He crept out of his room into the third-story hallway. Grace’s room was just two doors down. Maybe he could ask if she wanted to go listen to the cicadas in the backyard … or was that just code for “I want to kiss you in the dark”?

He could hear Moriah’s voice floating up from the open balcony of the second floor, arguing with Turk about going to bed, promising he’d see Grace in the morning. Turk protested even more loudly. Jace’s low rumble soothed them both.

Harrison smiled. He wanted that someday, though Grace wasn’t close to as feisty as Moriah. He stopped outside Grace’s bedroom door and paused. He actually wanted it right now, with Grace. The breath popped out of his lungs and he had to lean against the wall. That was insane thinking. He hadn’t known her a week yet. But he couldn’t lie to himself: Grace consumed his every thought. He’d never dreamed of bringing a girl to meet his sister before. Watching the two of them together, seeing Grace fall under Turk’s spell of adorableness, exchanging smiles over all of their heads with Jace … it’d been perfect. He wanted it. No, he needed it.

He rapped softly on the door. “Grace?”

The door popped open. She stood there in a tank top, cut-off yoga pants, no makeup, and her blonde hair wet and darker.

“You are so beautiful,” he managed to get out.

She grabbed his T-shirt, tugged him inside the room, and shut the door. Harrison stood there, powerless. He’d dominated some of the toughest football players in the nation, but this woman had complete control over him. She pushed at his chest and backed him against the wall.
