“Roxxy Lynn, are you going to tell me why you have returned from the city with a glow?”

Roxxy jumped and spun around. Her mother stood behind her with her hip leaning against the counter.

Roxxy bit back a smile. She turned back to the dishes in the sink and washed a plate. There was no way she’d be able to look Shelby Sutton in the eye and tell her a lie.

Her mother could always tell.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” She’d been back in town for a few days and had already spoken to Myles a few times. They’d missed each other when she’d submitted all final reports at the station. Apparently, he and the team had been called out on an operation.

“Oh, I think you do.” Shelby came to stand beside Roxxy with a drying cloth in her hand. She picked up a dish and wiped it dry before placing it in the cabinet. She bumped Roxxy with her hip playfully. “Go ahead, you can tell me.”

A grin spread across her lips. Shelby Sutton had missed her calling in life. She could have been an FBI agent or CIA with the way she sniffed out information.

“Mom, I’m a grown woman.”

“Oh, is that how it is?”

The twinkle in Shelby’s eyes made Roxxy bite her lip to keep from groaning. They were as close as mother and daughter could be. Growing up, Roxxy had always shared everything with her. From her first crush, her first kiss, to even the crap Korey had pulled on her.

“You’ve never returned home from an assignment with such a pep in your step.”

Did she want to tell her about Myles yet?

That would mean spilling the beans that she’d had a one-night stand with him—twice.

What would she think?

“Okay, okay, okay.” Roxxy faced her. She would only tell her the PG version of the story just to get her off her back. “You have to promise not to say a word to Dad.”

“I knew it!” Shelby jumped in place with a large smile on her face.

Roxxy rolled her eyes. Looking at her mom was like peering into a mirror that revealed what she’d look like in thirty years.

“I can keep a secret from your father.”

“Calm down, geesh.” Roxxy snagged a kitchen towel and dried her hands. “If you must know, I met someone.”

“A man. I knew it.” Her mother paused, her brown eyes growing wide. “Was he handsome?”

“Yes,” Roxxy sighed, thinking of Myles’s devilish good looks. She couldn’t fight the silly grin from spreading now. Just thinking of Myles had her feeling all giddy inside. “He’s tall, muscular, bald head.”

“I’m liking what I’m hearing so far.”

“Mom!” Roxxy burst out laughing at her mom’s response.

“I may be your mother, but I’m still a woman.” Shelby shrugged.

Jesus, help me. Roxxy closed her eyes, not wanting to go down the train of thought of Shelby being a ‘woman’.

“Too much information,” she muttered, turning back to the sink. She dove her hands in the warm soapy water in search of the next plate.
