spring or early summer.”
    “All right, I will. The price is reasonable.”
    Marian offered to drive, but Chelsea told her to sit back and relax. “This is the most chilled out I’ve seen you in a long time. Maybe this vacation is good for you after all. I was worried whatever misunderstanding you and Rand had had ruined it for you.”
    “No. The job has helped. And next weekend I might meet another handsome cowboy.”
    “That’s the idea. Make him jealous.”
    “Whoa, Chelsea. I appreciate you wanting me to have a good man and marriage, but please, no more trying to fix me up or trick Rand into spending time with me.” She turned toward her friend. “We’re in different places in our lives. He wants to play the field, have a good time, no commitments. I want a husband, a home, to have babies.”
    “You two actually talked about what you want?”
    “Sort of, and not at the best time.”
    “I won’t ask what that means. But I will back off. Knowing you like I do, I wanted to see you happy like me. You really don’t want to stay in New York, do you?”
    “Not a bit. Being here has helped clear my head. I’m changing my life. Perhaps I’ll return to North Carolina. My mother would be overjoyed. I’m the only one who moved more than fifty miles away.”
    “This is happening fast. You might want to wait until you’ve been back at your job a few months. Then see if you still want to move.”
    “It wasn’t a fast decision. I’ve been thinking about doing something different, somewhere different for the last six months.”
    Visiting Chelsea, meeting Rand, and seeing how it was to live in a small town like Frontier City had made Marian realize what she really wanted. She wanted it with Rand, but he wasn’t available. There had to be another good, handsome man who’d excite her body and make her dreams come true. She would not admit defeat.
    A year from now I am going to have a husband, a job I like, and hopefully be starting a family. But I’ll probably have to leave Frontier City to find him .

Chapter Seven

    Chelsea left Marian at the cabin. “Sure you don’t want to join us later?”
    “Thanks, but I’m tired. See you tomorrow.”
    Marian had barely put on her lights when the phone rang. “Hello.”
    “You’re back.” Rand’s deep voice vibrated from her ear down her body. “I wondered if you were too tired to go for a ride. Unless you’d rather do a late dinner tonight.”
    “I’d like the ride.”
    “I’ll be right there.” The phone went dead.
    She rushed to shower and changed into casual slacks and a white sweater. She’d save the gold one for the dance. The truck door slammed as she finished combing her hair out. A spritz of perfume and she was ready at his knock.
    Her mind told her she was a fool. But her body didn’t listen.
    When she opened the door, Rand stepped inside and pulled her to him. He kissed her mouth like a thirsty man taking his first drink in a long time. His tongue tangled with hers as his fingers slid through her hair.
    He pulled back and looked down into her face. “I’ve been over her for months. Honestly. I was letting her get used to the idea of the breakup. No one has aroused me like you do. Not for years, if ever.
    “I don’t know where this will go, but it’s driving me crazy seeing you every day and wanting to touch you. I want to smell your hair, touch your soft skin, and sink into your hot, sweet pussy. Will you take a chance on us?”
    Was she dreaming, or did he really want them to have a relationship? She knew it was too soon. If she was smart, she’d push him away. But his warm, sensuous smile curled her toes, and her body wanted to stay cuddled against his hard frame. All her thoughts from earlier today flew out of her mind. She didn’t want to resist him.
For an answer to his question, she brought his head back down and kissed his lips, along his neck, and at the curve between neck and shoulder. “Your pulse is beating fast.” She glanced
