home. That meant he’d only have one mood, and that mood would be cranky.
    Danny was strapped in his seat and she was about to get in the car herself. She thought she saw something move out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned her head the only thing she saw was the line of trees across the street from her house. She turned in the other direction but nothing.
    Not Nothing .
    Something was making the hair on the back of her neck stand up and as she scanned the tree line a second time, she saw a rabbit hopping between two trees.
    “Jesus Christ, I’m getting really getting paranoid.” Marina shook her head and got in the car.
    Danny was wiggling in his car seat as they pulled into Stephanie and John’s driveway, no doubt excited because he was about to play with his favorite uncle. He really loved spending time with them, and of course they loved to spoil him. Sometimes to the point it was almost impossible to settle him down once she got him back home again. No matter how many times she asked them not to hype him up before they dropped him off, or she picked him up, Danny would still come home talking a mile a minute and jumping around like a cat on a hot rock.
    Her sister’s home was a large white duplex with dark green shutters that they’d bought just after they got married, mostly because they wanted kids right away. It wasn’t fair that two people who loved kids so much were having issues but maybe their little vacation would give them exactly what they wanted. A child.
    Danny’s feet hit the driveway and he bolted right to the house. Marina closed her car door. Again, that nagging tingle in the back of her neck. She whipped her head around and walked down to the end of the driveway. Was someone watching her or was she just losing her mind?

    J ames watched her from inside the glass door of the daycare as she hurried to her car. He couldn’t help it. Her dark blonde hair was tied back into a neat ponytail that swung back and forth when she walked. He wanted to tangle his hands into that mane of hair while he devoured her plump lips. He wanted so bad to taste her lips and feel her naked skin next to his.
    It was getting more difficult to hide his attraction to Marina, and his emotions made him tremble whenever she was close. If the truth be told, James was apprehensive, because losing Sarah was the worst thing he’d ever been through, and he knew he’d never survive that pain again. He didn’t know how he’d done it the first time.
    His attraction to Marina was unsettling, because it had hit so suddenly. That first night when her ex-husband showed up at John’s house and he saw her on the couch trembling with pure terror in her eyes, every protective instinct he had kicked into gear. Knowing some of what that ass did to her made him angrier than he’d ever been in his life. He’d never understand how a man could treat a woman with anything but reverence.
    Then there was John and Stephanie’s wedding. That day was so hard, or at least made him hard, because Marina looked sexy as hell in the dress she wore as her sister’s maid of honor. It also didn’t help that he was John’s best man and ended up paired off with her at the church. Then there was the bridal party dance where he was required to dance with her. Holding her in his arms was heaven, but the guilt was overwhelming. It had been almost three years after Sarah died, and lusting after another woman seemed a betrayal of his late wife.
    Now Marina was invading his thoughts and his dreams. He couldn’t get her out of his head, and he still struggled with the thought of moving on with his life. Plus, Marina’s previous relationship was pure hell, and Ms. Marina Kelly did not seem interested in a relationship with any man.
    James thoughts were abruptly interrupted when two little arms wrapped around his leg. He looked down to see the smiling face of his son. Mason was so energetic and spontaneous, traits he got from his mother. As
