Excerpt:
He should
have known she’d come to see him. Women like her treated men like something
they’d wipe off the soles of their shoes. Once a man got them out from under
his skin, they ran back to try and get that old itch scratched again.
He
schooled his expression to show none of these thoughts as five minutes later
one of the deputies, Roy Webb, showed a pale-faced Kathryn into the office. Ben
thanked the deputy, then silently indicated that Kathryn should sit on one of
the hard, uncomfortable visitor chairs before returning to the file he was
reading. Or pretending to read—the sight of her took his breath away, and he
watched her covertly from under his brows. Dark rings under her eyes
accentuated her paleness. She was thinner than he remembered, dressed in an
expensive designer suit in a pale oyster color that accentuated her pale skin
and luminous green eyes. Her features had matured and she had developed a poise
that suited her. The pretty girl he had known had become a stunningly beautiful
woman.
Finally,
when he could put it off no longer, Ben signed his name with a flourish, placed
the paperwork back into its file, and dropped it in his out basket. He leaned
back in his chair, met her direct gaze, and asked, “What can I do for you, Mrs. Morgan?”
Something
flickered across her face at his tone, at the slight emphasis on her married
title. She pushed back a stray lock of hair with fingers that shook a little,
but her voice was even as she replied. “I’ve come to you because I need help,
Ben.”
