\"No<\/a>One woman, one man, and a love that won\u2019t let either of them go.<\/em><\/p>\n

Born on the wrong side of the tracks and dealt a fair share of hardship, Nikki Kline never gives up a fight. Even when her reason to keep going is ripped from her, Nikki tries desperately to hang on. But when the man who broke Nikki\u2019s heart comes back into her life she doesn\u2019t know how much she can take. Especially since that man seems determined to win back her damaged heart.<\/p>\n

Wade Lightfoot is a man who knows he\u2019s made more mistakes than most. As much as he would like to repair the damage he\u2019s done to those he loves, Wade also knows there is no going back. But when he sets out to put things right the last thing he\u2019s prepared to find out is that he had a son. A son he\u2019ll never get the chance to meet.<\/p>\n

When the truth is out and all the old wounds are bared, it seems impossible that Nikki and Wade will find their way back to each other. But true love is an undeniable force that even past hurts can\u2019t destroy.<\/p>\n

This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release.<\/address>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t you make yourself at home?\u201d she drawled, her voice sugar sweet. She soaked a rag with cool water and lifted it to her nape, swiping her neck and chest and arms with it, taking perverse pleasure as his eyes heated.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t mind if I do,\u201d he returned, sipping at the drink and winking at her over the rim. His eyes, however, lacked the lighthearted tone that was in his words.<\/p>\n

As she pressed the cloth to back of her neck, Nikki closed her eyes, trying hard to ignore him, but it was damn near impossible. She could feel his eyes on her as she swiped the cool rag over her hot flesh.<\/p>\n

The pounding of her heart had nothing to do with him, she insisted. It was from the exercise, only the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeed some help?\u201d Wade offered, his voice going low and rough as her eyes opened and she studied him, her face flushed and damp, body gleaming slightly from her exertions.<\/p>\n

Recognizing the look in his eyes, Nikki stopped playing with fire and threw the cloth into the sink. \u201cWhat are you doing here, Wade?\u201d she asked flatly, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning against the counter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to see you, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d she asked, her eyes narrowed, arms crossed tightly over her chest. Hostility all but radiated from her.<\/p>\n

\u201cMust be the charming company. You being such a gracious hostess and all.\u201d Her anger rolled off his back. He had been in high spirits for several weeks now. Nikki hadn\u2019t been seen around town with Gomer Pyle since that last weekend.<\/p>\n

Little rumors were floating around that Stoner was packing up and leaving town. A For Sale sign posted at the garage confirmed said rumors and Wade had grinned for an hour after he had seen it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really can\u2019t take a hint, can you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be surprised to see me here, Nikki. I told you I wasn\u2019t giving up,\u201d he reminded her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t say I was surprised. Disappointed is more like it.\u201d Running a fingertip over the rim of her discarded glass, she studied him quietly from under the shield of her lashes. \u201cDon\u2019t you think you\u2019ve done enough?\u201d<\/p>\n

His cheeks flushed a dull red and he looked away, sighing. \u201cI guess I deserve that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd worse,\u201d Nikki added quietly.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re making this as hard as you can, aren\u2019t you?\u201d Wade demanded, resisting the urge to slam his own glass down on the table. Carefully, he sat it down and stood, his hands going into his back pockets. \u201cNik, I\u2019m not going away. You might as well get used to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, you\u2019ll go away. Sooner or later, you\u2019ll figure out that I\u2019m not who I used to be and I\u2019m not somebody you want to be around.\u201d Somber hazel eyes drifted to the sound of childish laughter coming from the living room and she said, \u201cCertainly not somebody you want your daughter around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve always loved kids. And I\u2019ve never seen a kid you couldn\u2019t enchant. Why wouldn\u2019t I want you around her?\u201d he asked, watching her.<\/p>\n

Nikki turned away, gazing out the window. Finally, she turned her head to him and her eyes were sad. \u201cI\u2019m not who I used to be. I keep telling you that, and you just won\u2019t listen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had risen as she spoke and now was moving up beside her, cornering her between his body and the counter. As he moved closer, he saw the alarm in her eyes and braced himself. She always struck out when she was feeling threatened.<\/p>\n

Never one to disappoint, she tossed her head back. In a voice as cold as winter, she said, \u201cI can\u2019t look at you or your child without seeing her and remembering what you did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cupping her cheek in his hand, Wade sighed. \u201cI\u2019m not here to remind you of what I did. I just want to be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I just want to be with you.<\/p>\n

Those words tore at her heart. He made it sound so easy\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing with you does remind me,\u201d she snarled, slapping a hand against his chest as he leaned closer. The heat of his body rushed out and filled hers, making her feel more overheated than three hours of trail riding ever could. His eyes, so full of love and promises, seemed to mock her.<\/p>\n

Wade was so full of life.<\/p>\n

And she was so empty.<\/p>\n
