Lance was the exact opposite of what she wanted to deal with that summer. After Tony and her broke up 6 weeks ago, she had decided to move to Colorado...

With a sigh of relief, Augusta Hartley ladled the last of the preserves into an already-boiled Mason jar and added a lid, screwing it down tight and biting the back the urge to curse as the hot metal almost blistered her fingers. It was hot as the hinges of Hades in the kitchen at Willow Run Plantation,...

He watched her out of the corner of his eye as she slid into the room. He had seen her here before, but this time was different.
