Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
My grandma taught me a lot of dirty tricks. I know places to dig in a knuckle and make a grown man scream like a little girl.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
The sliding doors opened, and a man entered the baggage area. A tall, dark-haired man with incredibly broad shoulders, a cowboy hat and a gaze so penetrating Phoebe knew he could probably tell what color her panties were.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
The sliding doors opened, and a man entered the baggage area. A tall, dark-haired man with incredibly broad shoulders, a cowboy hat and a gaze so penetrating Phoebe knew he could probably tell what color her panties were.He moved with the kind of stride and purpose of someone who was never indecisive, confused or anything other than in charge. He was gorgeous. Adam Levine gorgeous. Of course.Any small shred of confidence she might have cultivated from her self-help books went belly-up like a zapped bug. She tried to brush off the last of the peanut dust from the front of her yellow T-shirt and wished for the millionth time in her life that she was tall, blonde, blue-eyed and stunning. Actually, right now she would take any one of the four.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
How upset are you?"Phoebe smiled ruefully. "There's a half-pound box of butterscotch squares from See's in my car. I'm also planning to stop by the grocery store on my way home and buy a bottle of wine.""Liquor and sugar. That's pretty bad.""It's as close as I'll come to a life of crime.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
Zane Nicholson believed in listening to his gut. At nine fifty-five that morning, it was telling him that today wasn't going to be a good day.He glanced out the window at the rolling hills that made up the Nicholson Ranch and wondered if being a farmer would have been easier. Crops didn't break through fences in the night and wander away. Crops didn't try to be born breech. He could be growing corn. Or wheat. Wheat was patriotic. All those amber waves.He turned his attention back to his paperwork and shook his head. Who was he kidding? He was a fifth generation rancher. The closest he would come to farming was the vegetable garden the ranch cook grew out behind the bunkhouse.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
Phoebe fastened her seat belt, then gave him a quick glance. Her heart did a one and a half somersault with a half twist at the sight of his profile. He looked good enough to be on a coin.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
He kissed her again, pulling her up against him and running his hands up and down her back. As he deepened the kiss, he became aware of clapping, cheers and catcalls. No doubt Chase had gone into the restaurant and rounded up the whole Fool's Gold crowd to come watch the show. Zane figured they might as well get their money's worth.He pulled back slightly and took her hand in his as he lowered himself to one knee. He took off his hat and said, "Phoebe, will you marry me?"Her eyes widened, then filled with tears. "Yes, I will."Contentment filled him, blending with the love already in his heart.He pulled the small box from his jacket pocket. While Maya had been busy running to the meeting, Zane had spent some time on Rodeo Drive. The Tiffany's store had a nice collection of engagement rings. He'd chosen a perfect round diamond set on a platinum band that looked like braided rope.He slipped the ring on her finger, and she gasped."It's so beautiful.""I'm glad you like it. Now keep it away from the raccoons.""I'll never take it off. Ever." She stared at him. "I really love you, Zane."He didn't doubt her for a second and knew that he never would. He and Phoebe would be together for the rest of their lives. It was going to be a hell of a ride, and he couldn't wait to see what happened next.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
He'd been the one to lie and cheat in their relationship. So why was he punishing her? Why--Who cared why, she told herself. She'd just spent a week on a cattle drive. She'd saved fifty steers from drowning. She'd crossed a raging river and had lived to tell the tale. Jeff was beneath her notice.

You did good today." Chase shook his head. "No, Zane. I made a big mistake. Phoebe could have died out there. We could have lost the steers. All because I pulled some stupid stunt. I'm sorry." Zane's throat tightened. He tried to speak but couldn't. So he wrapped his arms around Chase and pulled him close. "It's okay," he managed at last, his voice hoarse. "I screw up all the time, too. The thing is, I never let you see that." Chase hugged him back. "For real?" They straightened and stared at each other. He quickly told Chase the story of the stallion and how their father had reacted. "I didn't want you to have regrets," Zane said. "Not like I did. But I've been so busy trying to save you, I've made your life hell." His brother's eyes filled with tears. "Thanks." "You're a good kid." He shook his head. "Sorry. A good man. I'm proud you're my brother and…" He hesitated for a second. "I love you, Chase." His brother sucked in a breath, then hugged him tight. "I love you, too, Zane.

Zane liked her. At least Chase thought he did, and she was gone enough on the man to be willing to accept the gospel truth from a seventeen-year-old.That being the case, when she walked into the clearing before dinner and saw Zane sitting in a camp chair with an empty seat so conveniently next to him, she gathered her courage and walked straight toward it."Hi," she said as she sat next to him.Zane nodded.Trying not to be discouraged--just because she knew he liked her didn't mean that he knew she knew--she offered a bright smile."Things went well today.""Uh-huh."Okay, so maybe Chase was right. Maybe Zane wasn't that great around women. Maybe he was shy.She squirmed slightly, not sure she could reconcile "shy" with the intense passion she'd felt during their kisses. But if not shy, then what?Uninterested in her was the most logical explanation, but she didn't want to go there.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
Maya sat with Phoebe and Chase. He didn't linger on that group, because he knew what would happen. His gaze would settle on Phoebe, and he wouldn't want to look away. Not with the firelight making her eyes shine and her skin glow. Not with the sound of her voice easing inside of him and tying him up in knots. She was five kinds of temptation with just enough hell thrown in to make things interesting.

Susan Mallery _ Kiss Me
The night was still and cool, with no hint of stars above the cloud cover. The forecasted rain had yet to fall, and he was beginning to believe that they were going to get through the cattle drive without some kind of disaster.Even as the thought formed, he made a fist and knocked on the log. No point in tempting fate. Not when there were still two days and plenty of miles between his greenhorns and the safety of the house.
