Lori Foster - A Buckhorn Bachelor

“She’s all wrong for you, Adam.”

He leveled a sharp look on her. “Contrary to what every wimp in the county tells you, you do not know everything.”

It was never easy to put a dent in Amber’s confidence. “I realize that. But I do know you. And I also know Isabella.”

Folding his arms over his chest, his temper on the rise, Adam said, “So what? You think I’d break her heart or something?”

She gave a surprised laugh that she quickly muffled with a cough. “No, I wasn’t concerned about that.”

Adam waited her out, his scowl not budging.

After another cough, Amber got serious. “I hope you won’t think I’m gossiping—”

“Shohn already told me what you said.”

“I only told him so he could tell you in case I didn’t get to you in time. Even before I’d reached you two, I knew you were playing with Issy. Everyone was talking about it.”

“Define everyone.”

“People who’d passed the two of you. Ms. Marburl was scandalized. Little Chuck started singing that you had a girlfriend. When I stopped at the corn booth, Shohn didn’t know where you were but he said you were due to replace him at any minute. So I told him.”

“Told him that Issy is a wild child?” He snorted. “That’s nuts and you know it.”

“Oh, Adam.” With a pitying look, Amber patted his arm. “You’ve known her all this time and yet...you don’t really know her at all.”
