Excerpt
Jason reaches over the table and takes my hand in his.
Much as I try scrubbing at the dirt, my
nails are almost never 100% clean, and I’ve got a long scratch across my
knuckles. And anyhow, in the middle of a
work day, that’s part of who I am.
He turns my hand palm up and runs his
finger across the calluses.
My heart skitters a beat at the feel of
his hands cradling mine. His touch exudes caring. Imagining him tending a
person in distress is easy.
Need I say it? I like the feel of him
touching me. The world is charmingly in order right here, right now. But what
is he doing? “Is something wrong with my hand?”
“Every time I see you, you’re in the
water. And you’re the odd duck. I was just seeing”—he turns his head to examine
my palm, his carved cheeks in
profile—“if there’s a web between your fingers…”
Bemusement laces his tone. “Like a
Labrador retriever?” I retort, stifling the urge to flex my fingers; I don’t
want him to let my hand go.
He laughs and releases my hand. “My
favorite animal. But a dog? No. That’s not what you bring to mind.”
His grin is so open, so easy, I decide
to divulge something I’ve never told anyone. “I did wish for scales when I was
younger. I thought it would be cool to be a mermaid.” He takes me in for a
beat, his gaze deep.
“I can see that.”
His voice is low and velvety. I draw in
a ragged breath.

Beverly, as I've said on other blogs for the Candy Heart Romances, I've enjoyed them all so far and this sounds like another winner. I love reading St. Valentine's Day romances and was in an anthology last year and it was so much fun. Wishing you much continued success. And have a very Happy Valentine's Day yourself.
