Troy tried to talk her out of it. On the entire drive to the Circle C to pick up her stuff, he alternated between arguing, cajoling and demanding that she forget about Bride’s Price.

Her brothers weren’t at the ranch house when they pulled up. Ally suggested Troy wait in his truck, but he ignored her, still arguing as he trailed her into the house.

“You can’t be serious,” he stated, following her so closely up the stairs to her bedroom that he bumped her a couple of times. “What does Bride’s Price have that Kauai doesn’t?”

Ally stopped in her bedroom doorway to face him. “Privacy,” she said. Then shut the door in his face and locked it.

She quickly changed into work clothes—cutoff shorts and a plain blue T-shirt—and gathered her hair into a ponytail. Then she picked up one of the boxes she’d started packing weeks ago after her argument with Cole, opened the door—and bumped into Troy. Again.

He was leaning against the jamb, his arms crossed over his wide chest, his hands tucked beneath his armpits, blocking her path. She’d thought changing out of her dress would put things back to normal, ease her unsettled feeling and douse the possessive spark in his green eyes. It didn’t.

His gaze swept over her as he blocked her path, from the top of her ponytail down to her feet in her flat espadrilles, and the spark flared higher. “You look great,” he said huskily.

Ally’s stomach swooped. But before she could reply, Troy started nagging her again. “Instead of going to stay at Bride’s Price, if you’re really dead set against going away for our honeymoon, why don’t we stay at my ranch house?” he asked coaxingly. “It’d be more fun.”

“Your grandfather’s ranch house, you mean,” Ally retorted, shoving the box into his arms before turning around to grab another filled with clothes. Heading down the stairs with her growling, glowering shadow limping behind her, she added over her shoulder, “There’s no way I’m ever going to stay with Old Mick. You can count on that.”

“Fine, then we can go stay at my apartment in Dallas. It’s a great place.”

“Goody for you.” She grabbed her hat off the peg by the door and slapped it on as they headed outside into the now waning sunshine. With Troy still dogging her heels, she strode across the porch and yard to drop her box in the bed of his truck, then turned to confront him. “Why would I want to go there—when I have a perfectly good home of my own?”

“What about supplies?” he demanded. “What about groceries—”

“Got them. I stocked up last time I went over.”

That didn’t stop him from arguing. Nothing stopped him. He kept trying to change her mind as they drove to the O’Malley spread so he could get his gear, too. They were nearly at the Running M when she finally managed to interrupt.

“Look, just because I’m going to Bride’s Price doesn’t mean you have to go, too. Cole will never
