Chapter Thirteen

GLANCING DOWN AT GEORGIA, Harlan took in the sight of her blonde hair swinging while she strutted with purpose down Main street beside him in her big boots.

The sidewalks weren’t crowded, and there were plenty of parking places to be had up and down the street. It was a normal early spring day in Lonesome, nothing special, just regular people taking care of business. The most abnormal aspect about Lonesome at that moment was Harlan. He couldn’t remember the last time he went shopping in town, certainly not with a woman, but he was proud to be seen with Georgia.

He’d spent hours that morning reading her articles, becoming more delighted after each one. Boone was right to give her an exclusive, and now Harlan had the green light to relax. He was not only attracted to her, he liked her—liked the way her mind worked, the way she looked in blue jeans with her hair down and no makeup.

Liked the way she wrote, talked, walked and smelled. But the two things Harlan liked the most were how she didn’t throw herself at him, and how she kept trying to deny her attraction to him.

Georgia would be his, all right. It was just a matter of time.

He started humming.

Georgia perked up, her big brown eyes meeting his. “Is that the song from last night?”

He tipped his head down, eyeing her directly. “You caught me.”

She kept her gaze locked on his. “It’s Just a Matter of Time.”

“That’s the one.”

“Such a catchy tune,” she said, with an expression that told him everything he needed to know. The woman was simmering for him in those jeans and just didn’t know how to deal with it. “Hold my hand, Georgia.”

“What?” She seemed genuinely surprised.

“You heard me,” he said gently, trying not to scare her, and extended his hand without making a move to touch her. A car alarm sounded in the distance, and the seconds he waited ticked by slowly, but he wasn’t in any hurry.

Amused, he watched Georgia consider taking his hand as if struggling with an internal war. He noted how her shoulders relaxed when she sighed, making her decision, and caught himself holding his breath like a teenager. Finally Georgia grinned up at him, melting his heart in the process, and reached for his hand. She laced her delicate fingers through his, and the touch of her velvet skin against his callused musician’s fingers awakened every cell to possibilities he thought had long passed him by.

Harlan glanced at the door to Belle’s Boutique and thought twice about going in. Gripping Georgia’s hand firmly, he led her away from the entrance, but only made it a few feet before the temptation overwhelmed him.

Questioning him silently, Georgia tilted her head up to his. Feeling the heat and desire coming from her, Harlan leaned down without a word, inhaling her intoxicating scent, and kissing her once, twice, and again along her cheekbone.

“I know I could make you sing,” Harlan whispered, and it wasn’t just a line.
