Saturday dragged as Jaz and Anna called every business in the county but sped up when Anna got the news that the property owners of the antique store in Harrison were more than happy to donate the building to a nonprofit for a huge tax write-off. Jaz and Anna danced around the woman’s apartment and quickly made plans to see the building.

It was mid-afternoon before the realtor could meet them at the property. Jaz begged Bailey to join them so he could take measurements and make sketches. Anna ordered a banner so she could photograph it on the house for the open house fundraiser the next weekend.

During their long day of calls, Anna managed to get three dozen items donated for the silent auction and pledges for one-fourth of the estimated startup cost. Jaz had wrangled support from three-fourths of the Sweet Grove businesses, but it hadn’t come out to the same amount of cash.

Hopefully it wouldn’t matter. If they could raise the rest with the auction, Liam James would match the funds and they’d have enough to begin renovations on the house.

Jaz stared up at the two-story building. It looked like a storefront, but they could change that.

A warm hand settled on her lower back. “Daydreaming?” The husky voice sent shivers of delight through Jaz.

“Maybe.” She turned into the broad chest she’d learned to lean on.

Strong arms circled her. His face dipped toward hers until the brim of his hat nearly touched her forehead.

“How’s my girl?” His whisper tingled through her entire body.

“Amazed how everything is coming together.” She tilted her head up.

Their gazes met. His blue eyes tried to drown her, but she blinked away their hypnotic effect.

“You’ve been working your tail off.”

Jaz let her attention linger on his full lips as he spoke. When they crept into the sexy grin she loved, she smacked his shoulder playfully. “Stop distracting me, cowboy.”

His chuckle made heat curl inside her like a cat in front of a fireplace. The man didn’t know his own appeal, and that made him all the more appealing.

“You’ve been distracting me for months and years, beautiful.”

She shook her head and held her hand out to him. His calloused fingers felt right laced with hers.

As they approached, the real estate guy arched an eyebrow at something Anna said.

“Jazlyn Rolle?” The man held his hand out. They shook, and Jaz was surprised to feel the ripple of callouses along his palm. More than a sales guy, then.

“Bailey Travers.” Bailey shook the extended hand.

“Bruce Anderson, assistant broker at ReMax Bryant County. Nice to meet you. Let’s get this open.”

Light filtered through windows in need of cleaning. The solid oak door clicked closed behind them. Dusty relics from past centuries crowded against the walls.

“All the furnishings are marked to be transported to storage until the heirs can sort what’s valuable from the lesser pieces.” Bruce spoke without the usual Texas twang, reminding Jazlyn of her time in the military.

Jaz walked up creaking stairs to the left of the entry. Polished wooden railing revealed itself when she rubbed her hand over the banister.
