child.”
    â€œShe has all the makings of a woman, that’s for sure. What about Bernice? She’s not a child,” Tayler added with a playful smile.
    Rollin took a deep breath and stroked his goatee. Every time he struck a pose she got a tingle in the pit of her stomach. Damn, he’s fine.
    Rollin started rearranging the baskets of pears. “Can we change the subject?” he asked without looking at Tayler.
    Two women walked by with broad smiles and waved. “Hi, Rollin.”
    He gave them a quick nod. “Mornin’, ladies.”
    Tayler crossed her arms and laughed. “Yeah, I can see it now. You smile at them with those big dimples of yours and you can have any woman in town.”
    He shook his head and laughed. “My day starts at five a.m. and usually doesn’t end until after dinner. I don’t have time for a woman right now. My business is my lady.”
    â€œSure it is.”
    â€œBesides,” Rollin continued, “I’m trying to get into some bigger markets, like Whole Foods.”
    Tayler nodded. “Then you won’t have to stand out here selling at a farmers’ market, huh?”
    â€œI don’t have to be out here now, Kevin can handle this. But I enjoy talking to people who eat our produce to see what they have to say. It’s my market research. I bring food to the people. Not everyone wants to come out and pick their own food.”
    She held up her hand. “Amen.”
    A few more customers stopped by to purchase vegetables. Once everyone left, Tayler picked their conversation right back up.
    â€œSo, why can’t you get into Whole Foods?”
    â€œIt’s a long story, but basically we need more money to expand in order to meet their demand. Holding onto the land and the B and B takes a lot of money.”
    â€œDid you ever think about selling it all and leaving Danville?”
    â€œNever. This is home. I came back here after college, and I don’t ever plan on leaving. It’s a nice town.”
    â€œLooks like it.”
    â€œI’ll tell you what, after we leave I can give you the grand tour. I’ll show you my town, and then you’ll see why I love it so much.”
    She smiled. “Sure.”
    â€œWell, if it isn’t Tayler Carter.”
    Tayler and Rollin turned around as Officer Greg approached the table.
    â€œSo, we meet again.” He extended his hand. “Good morning.”
    â€œGood morning, Officer Greg.” Tayler accepted his hand.
    â€œPlease, call me Greg.”
    â€œWhat’s up, man?” Rollin reached out to shake Greg’s hand.
    â€œNothing much. I saw you guys over here and thought I’d say hello and see if Tayler is up for that tour I promised her.”
    Tayler and Rollin exchanged glances.

Chapter 7
    T ayler turned to Greg, then back to Rollin, and waited on him to say something—anything.
    â€œUnless you’ve already been on a tour, as part of your stay at the B and B,” Greg said, looking from Tayler to Rollin.
    Rollin shook his head. “Nope, not part of the package.”
    She couldn’t believe Rollin was going to leave her hanging out there like that. “Actually, Greg, I’m kinda busy today.”
    Greg took a step back and then picked up a pear to examine it. “Yeah, I see they’ve put you to work. Rollin, I didn’t know things were so bad you’d put the guest to work,” he said.
    Rollin crossed his arms. “Who said things were bad at all?” he asked.
    Tayler heard a hint of annoyance creep into Rollin’s voice.
    Greg placed the pear back on the stack. “Well, I heard you’ve had a lot of vacancies. And with school about to start back, you’ll probably lose some of your workforce.”
    â€œI don’t know where you heard that. We’re doing okay. I’ll lose two guys when school starts, but that’s all. And Tayler—”
    He glanced over at her, and
