"There's that guy again, Regan. Look." I looked up to see the guy Shaquanna was referring to. He was the same guy who'd been coming into the coffee shop where I worked as a waitress every day. I didn't think anything of it. He was probably new in town or just passing through. He shuffled in and sat down in a booth near the window. He carried a green duffel bag that he dropped on the booth seat next to him. I figured he must be military because...

Paulie, en colère, releva brusquement son pantalon. «Tu m'as menti. Tu m'avais dit qu'ils étaient au courant et qu'ils n'avaient aucun problème avec ça. Avec nous.» «Paulie, je sais que tu es furieux, mais...» «Mais rien, mec! Tu m'as menti. Comment oses-tu me dire que tu m'aimes alors que tu m'as menti?» «S'il-te-plaît...», murmurai-je. «Ne pars pas. Pas déjà. Il faut qu'on parle.» Il s'arrêta à la porte tout en restant dos à...

The kiss lasted for a second, and she was struggling with all she had to not melt into it. She pushed him gently away, reminding him that he had Ashley. "She's just there for the sex. I can't make you be with an empty wreck like me. I respect you too much to allow that to happen. You being with me is the worst thing you could do, and so just one kiss and you being here like this with me is more than I can ask for. I respect you too much to do anything...

"Ya regresaron," Tracy cantó cuando pasó por el lugar donde yo estaba estudiando. No miré hacia arriba. "¿Quién? "Ellos." Ella hizo un gesto con la barbilla. Finalmente yo hacia arriba para ver el pequeño grupo de marines que entra en el restaurante donde trabajaba a medio tiempo. resoplé y volví a mirar mi libro. "pueden entrar si quieren," dije, dando vuelta una página. "Este es un restaurante y tienen que comer." "Y coquetear con cualquier...

Marigold Eleanor Fields is the fourth of the five Fields sisters, and has always felt like she didn't quite fit in. She is tall and thin where they are petite and pretty, and though she would like to marry she has had little attention from the men — even from the many soldiers at nearby Fort Huachuca in the Arizona Territory. Things seem to be looking up when Marigold finds herself being courted by handsome young Sgt. Kevin Shepherd. But though...

In 1885, Lavender Belle Fields lives with her parents and four sisters on Thunder Ranch in the Arizona Territory, right outside the gates of Fort Huachuca, the regimental headquarters of the U.S. Army Fourth Cavalry. Though she is past twenty, Lavender is something of a tomboy and a wild child, liking nothing better than to gallop her horse bareback into a creek filled with swimming soldiers and treating love and romance as nothing more than harmless...

Sarah wandered from bed to bed, checking on the few patients at the Hedley Clinic. It was such a welcome contrast from when she'd arrived and established the makeshift hospital off the Rio Negro. The treatment area had overflowed with patients from the first day, all in desperate need of care. Malaria, Yellow Fever, Cholera, Typhoid fever, and uncontrolled diabetes had run rampant throughout the area. But thanks to antimalarial drugs, vaccinations,...

"Estuviste magnífico, bebé", dijo ella, besándolo profundamente en los labios. Él apretó su cintura, acercándola a su gran cuerpo. Sus mejillas se pusieron rojas ante su elogio y supe entonces que ella había tenido razón sobre él. Realmente era un chico dulce y modesto. Y obviamente la amaba. "Gracias, amor", murmuró antes de devolverle el beso. El hombre de cabello oscuro se aclaró la garganta. Mickey le sonrió. Amber le rodeó el cuello...

In 1885, Daisy Mary Fields lives with her parents and four sisters on Thunder Ranch in the Arizona Territory, right outside the gates of Fort Huachuca, the regimental headquarters of the U.S. Army Fourth Cavalry. When Captain Brian Andrews comes to Thunder Ranch to buy horses, he is shown the Thoroughbred remounts that Daisy's father raises in hopes of providing faster and stronger horses for the soldiers. Though the army isn't convinced that the...

"You were magnificent, babe," she said, kissing him soundly on the lips. He squeezed her waist, pulling her closer to his big body. His cheeks turned red at her praise and I knew then that she had been right about him. He really was a modest, sweet guy. And he obviously loved her. "Thanks, love," he murmured before kissing her back. The dark-haired man cleared his throat. Mickey grinned at him. Amber put her arms around his neck, hugging him...
