No matter how many times Marguerite told Lilly to sit down and relax, the stubborn woman refused.

Nick had had enough.

With Levi awake, Nick again had the use of both arms, so he approached the picnic table in Lake Manawa’s Shady Grove where Lilly attempted to put on the tablecloth against the breeze. He took it from her, snapped it in the air, and let it float down over the table. When it fell into place, he looked at her, only to discover a glare rather than a look of appreciation.

She placed her hand on the table. “I can do this alone.”

“I know, but you don’t have to.” He quirked an eyebrow. “Besides, why do you want to?”

“It’s easier that way.” She reached for the picnic basket she’d set beside the table.

Even before she touched the handle, Nick picked it up and plopped it on the tablecloth. She reached for the handle to pull it toward her, but Nick held fast, refusing to release the basket. “It may be easier to do it yourself when you’re with some people . . .” He glanced at Eugenia, who was batting her lashes at Marguerite’s brother. “But with others, you can let them help.”

She lifted her face to his, appearing ready to retort, but he locked gazes with her. Her jaw was set firm. Hmmm. A battle of wills. Oh, she was a stubborn one, but he’d let her know she’d met her match. Maybe some people might be put off by her tough, I-don’t-need-anyone exterior, but he wasn’t. She was not going to chase him away.

Lilly Hart needed to realize he was here to stay.

His gaze dropped to her lips. Her tongue darted out and swept over their ripe fullness. Warmth pooled in his chest and spread until he could barely keep from tasting what she offered.

“Nick!” Levi pulled on his sleeve. “Come play ball with me and my friend.”

Lilly blinked and stepped back. Nick cleared his throat and turned toward Levi. “What friend?”

“Him.” Levi pointed toward an athletically built man wearing a baseball uniform. A mop of dark, curly hair hung from beneath his baseball cap.

Lilly squealed. “Carter!”

Who was Carter, and why did Lilly’s face light like fireworks on the Fourth of July when she saw him?
