Garth and the woman hadn’t met?

Regan was surprised. She had used an online dating service before, so she knew how it worked.

“So, if the two of you would have clicked, then you would have considered her wife material?” she asked, trying to understand. The Garth Outlaw she knew preferred handling his own personal affairs, and she would think that would include selecting the woman he might end up sharing his life with.

“Yes, and before you make more assumptions, I was pretty detailed in my specifications. They are thorough when vetting people and have an exclusive clientele. Their match for me rated highly and I thought she might be perfect.”

Regan was trying hard to keep her composure when her heart was breaking. “Yet your perfect woman didn’t show.”

“No, but it wasn’t her fault. It was a dating service error. Somehow there was a mix-up on dates.”

“But you will reschedule?”

He shook his head. “No, I won’t. Her not showing up was a good thing.”

Regan glanced over at him. “Why?”

“Because I was only using her to help me get over my attraction to you. I see now that would not have been fair. And over these last few days, my desire for you has only increased. In fact, I can truthfully say that I desire you more than I’ve ever desired any woman before.”

She fought back the hope that tried to return. She wondered if he realized the power of what he’d just said. What she still didn’t understand, though, was why he’d felt he couldn’t act on his attraction to Regan. Why had he gone to all the trouble of finding someone else?

“You were contemplating marrying her had the two of you hit it off?” she asked again.

“Yes. And there is one thing you need to know, Regan.”

“What?” she asked past the lump suddenly forming in her throat.

He leaned forward in his chair and held her gaze. It was as if what he was about to say was highly important. She had a feeling that, whatever it was, she was not going to like it.

“What is it, Garth?”

“Whereas I was willing to marry another woman, I am not willing to marry you.”
