Excerpt:
Beau gave
her a week. He thought that should be enough time for her to get settled
in...and for her to get used to the fact that she would have to deal with him
for a year.
He gripped
the steering wheel with both hands as he drove to the Moore ranch. He gave
himself a pep talk about keeping his cool and not losing it if she shut him
out...again.
When he
turned his silver double dually truck in at her ranch, he slowed, rolling to a
stop in front of the house. He killed the motor and sat, gazing at the one story
rambling ranch house. Dixie’s SUV was in place, so he figured she was inside.
He hoped her boyfriend was not. It wasn’t that he was afraid of the
muscle-bound oaf, but he didn’t want to do anything to upset Dixie. It was too
important to him that he be able to communicate with her.
Man up,
Beau.
He opened
the door and stepped down out of the truck, hoping he could break through the
wall Dixie had built up against him. Sucking in a chest full of air, he then
blew it all out. He strode across the porch and rang the doorbell. Nothing.
No sounds from within.
He knocked
this time, but again, the house remained silent. He figured she had peeked out
and decided not to open the door to him.
Just as he
turned to go, he heard her laughter...and her voice. She was talking to someone
and coming closer.
Beau stood frozen on the porch, watching as
Dixie rounded the corner, hand-in-hand with a young red-haired girl. A
strangling sensation wrapped his throat. Undeniably, this was Dixie’s clone. She
has a child—a daughter.
He
struggled to draw a breath. “Dixie,” he gasped out.
Dixie’s
gaze lit on him, and she stopped in place. “B—Beau,” her voice rasped.
The child
turned her attention to him as well. She was Dixie’s spitting image, except for
her eyes. Garrett eyes. Bright, turquoise blue eyes ringed with a fringe of
black lashes stared back at him.
Beau felt
as though he had been sucker punched. He dropped to one knee, unable to speak.
Obviously this was his daughter. The question was, why had Dixie hidden the
child from him?
