GET OVER IT?

How did a man get over fire coming alive in his hands? How did a man get over a woman who spoke the truth and backed up her words with action? How did a man get over Whitney MacNair?

From the shadowed corner of the porch, he watched her kick up dirt and mutter a few unladylike phrases en route to the horse barn. No doubt he was the recipient of at least one of those curses. He deserved it. He couldn’t be what she needed him to be. He couldn’t say the things she wanted to hear.

All he could do was protect her.

Until he got word from her father that he was to do otherwise, he’d keep her safe and as out of trouble as a mortal man could keep Whitney MacNair.

Whether she liked it or not.

But who the hell was going to protect him from her?

Just like her long, willowy curves and eager kisses breathed life into his battered-up body, her candor was a breath of fresh air to his careworn soul.

Make the best of it, she’d challenged him. Losing his dad had changed his life, made him harder, older. Losing Melissa had been humiliating—a wake-up call that told him the love of his life wasn’t really that, after all. He didn’t know how to handle the pain, the shock, the confusion life threw his way, so he withdrew to a place where they couldn’t hurt him.

But Whitney had met all that, and more, with a smile on her beautiful face and determination to move on to the next challenge life threw in her path. Corrupt politicians. Terrorists. Overprotective fathers. A government agent who didn’t know whether to kiss her or throttle her for being so incredibly brave.

The only thing you really care about is this job. Not true. Melissa was wrong, and so was Whitney. He was wrong to forget all the good things, too. He had a loving family. A beautiful mom who had raised a brood of five children almost single-handedly. He was close to his brothers and sisters. There’d always been food on the table and someone around to care about him. And he wasn’t always obsessed with the job. Though he studiously avoided any long-term relationships, he hadn’t hurt for female companionship over the years.

He’d known women older, wiser, more suited to his personality than Whitney MacNair. But not one had gotten under his skin the way she did. Not one had made him angry and frightened one minute and feverish and alive the next.

Whitney didn’t hold back. When she was excited, she hugged. When she was afraid, she fought back. When she was confused, she talked. When she was happy, she laughed.

And when she was in his arms, she turned him inside out with her loving touches and unabashed need.

Oh yeah, she made him crazy all right.

Crazy enough to actually consider letting her have this chance to prove her mettle as an agent. She had something hurting inside her, some pain that drove her to take foolish chances.
