Whoever was pounding on the door would be very sorry.

Didn’t people in this town know she had a finicky baby who didn’t sleep too well? No? Well, they should. This was the second time someone had pounded on her door, and she was about to put up a Do Not Disturb sign.

Springing from the bed, Raine grabbed her robe and tiptoed from the bedroom, careful not to disturb Max or Abby.

She nearly twisted an ankle racing down the steps, because, if whoever was at the door decided to reach for the doorbell, that would surely wake Abby. And Raine wasn’t about to let that happen.

Making sure the robe was tied and everything was tucked in, she yanked open the door.

“Marshall,” she said, jerking back. “What are you doing here?”

His eyes raked over her body, and Raine so wished she’d grabbed the thick terry cloth robe because the blast of cold air was doing nothing to hide the fact she was completely naked underneath.

“I wanted to check in on you, and let you know that the roads have been downgraded from a level three to a level two. Which means you can go out, but only if necessary...”

Behind her, Raine heard the steps creak. She didn’t have to turn to know who was there, but she glanced over her shoulder and nearly swallowed her tongue.

If she had thought Max Ford was sexy as hell before...well, now she needed some water. The man had on only his jeans—unbuttoned—and was cuddling Abby against his bare chest. Yeah, he may not want this family life, but he looked damn good wearing it. If Abby had woken up fussy, she surely wasn’t now. She was nestled against Max’s warm, broad chest.

A sliver of sorrow slid through her. This could’ve been their life...but their baby had died along with her dreams.

And even though she and Max had uncovered a major secret last night, she hadn’t been able to confess that she’d been pregnant. Max had already been dealt a blow and was beating himself up. There was no way she was going to drop another life-altering bombshell.

They had enough issues to sort through as it was.

Marshall lifted a brow. “I see you weren’t alone during the snowstorm,” he stated.

Max came to stand directly behind Raine and she turned her attention back to Marshall. “Thanks for letting us know about the roads.”

Marshall didn’t take his eyes off Max. “I’ll be sure to let your father know you’re okay, Raine.”

With that he turned and marched off the snow-covered steps.

Raine closed the door, flicked the lock and spun around to lean against it. “Well, that was awkward.”

Max held Abby out toward her. “Awkward is not knowing what to do when she wakes crying and smells like...well, you know what she smells like.”

Raine laughed and took the baby. “Don’t be afraid of a dirty diaper, Max.”

“I’m not afraid of the diaper,” he said defensively as he followed her back up the steps. “I’m more afraid of the baby in the diaper.
