said, holding her daughter to her chest as the little girl continued to cry. How stupid did the man think she was? Who in their right mind would even consider electing an ex-con to be their mayor?

    Levi pulled up to the cabin and shut off the motor, jumping from the car as fast as he could to get away from the misbehaved, noisy kids. He thought when he came back to Sweet Water he’d be able to start a new life. But now his past and all her baggage were following him. He had no idea he’d be picking up a woman he’d bedded seven years ago who was coming to his town – his brother’s cabin – to spend not a week or two as Thomas had said, but what sounded like possibly the entire summer.
    He raked his fingers through his hair as he made his way to the trunk to get her luggage. He glanced over, watching her help her children out of their seat belts, bent over, giving him a view down her sun top as well as a great view of her tight, well-rounded ass. He remembered exactly what she looked like under those clothes, and he was getting hard just thinking about it.
    He’d thought about her all the time while sitting in his lonely prison cell, as she had left an impression on him that was not only physical but touched him on all levels. She was beautiful, and there was no doubt about it.
    Her shoulder-length aubu rn hair hung straight, down to her shoulders. And he didn’t need to look to remember her hazel eyes that turned light green after they’d made love. They held the intensity of a tiger, yet at the same time the gentleness of one of Thomas’s son Zeke’s little kittens. Fierce yet fragile. Smart, yet naïve. Just the way he liked his women.
    Damn, why’d he have to be thinking this way about a married woman? Then he vaguely remembered Thomas saying she wasn’t married.
    “So, where is your husband, Candy?” he asked, fishing for information.
    “I’m not married,” she snapped, not bothering to look his way.
    He pulled the suitcases from the trunk, seeing Thomas’s kids as well as Angel heading over from the pole barn. Thomas was right behind them.
    “Divorced?” he asked, wanting to find out more information before all hell broke loose.
    She stood up and looked at him, her eyes narrowing. “Why does it matter?”
    “Just curious,” he said, slamming down the lid of the trunk.
    “Not that it’s any of your concern, but I’ve never been married.”
    “Hi,” Angel called out, hurrying over to greet her. “You must be Candace,” she said.
    “Yes, and you must be Angel. I believe I talked to you as well as your husband on the phone.”
    “Mother, I have to go to the bathroom.” Valentine hopped up and down and crossed her legs.
    “Come on, sweetie, I’ll take you to the cabin and show you where the bathroom is.” Angel held out her hand. Her eight-year-old daughter, Gabby and her six-year-old son, Eli followed along at her side curiously.
    “Boys, get the lady’s l uggage and take it inside,” Thomas instructed his kids, walking up to join them. “I think you’ll like the cabin,” he said with a nod toward Candace.
    “I’ll take this suitcase, ” said Josh, one of Thomas’s nine-year-old twins.
    “Jake, help him with it,” said Thomas, “it looks heavy.”
    “You two look like twins,” said Vance, coming forward to meet them. “My sister and I are twins too.”
    “Come on, I’ll show you my kittens.” Eleven-year-old Zeke’s red hair shined in the sun as he led the way to the cabin.
    “Dan, Sam, get the other two suitcases,” Thomas said.
    “Yes, Pa,” said fourteen-year-old Sam, stepping forward even with a bum leg and helping out. Nothing stopped him from keeping up with his brothers.
    “How’d the car run , Uncle Levi?” Dan, Thomas’s oldest son who’d just turned seventeen, stepped forward to get the other suitcase.
    “Smooth as a baby’s rear end,” said Levi, tossing the keys to the teenager. “Thanks for the use of your car.”
    “Sure
