Teresa Southwick - Just A Little Bit Married

He nodded grimly. “I thought you were enjoying that a little too much.”

“Look, Rose, I was a jerk.”

“Was?” She folded her arms over her chest.

“I apologized for it and I’m handling the divorce,” he continued, ignoring the dig. “I groveled.”

“Yes, you did.” She would give him that.

“Ellie and I are close. She’s the one who convinced me to come back after I left—”

“And you don’t want your favorite sister to know how big a jackass you are,” she mused.

“I’m not comfortable with the jackass part,” he said, “but essentially you’re right. I’d consider it a big favor if you would keep the details of our relationship just between us.”

Rose was loving this. Confident and unflappable Lincoln Hart was insecure and uneasy. “You know, this is a very unfortunate time for you to find out that what they say about reaping what you sow is true.”

“Could you be a little more specific?” Tension tightened his jaw.

“I don’t trust you,” she reminded him.

Rose shrugged, then walked through the connecting bathroom and closed the door behind her. This was too sweet. She was charging him an arm and a leg for this decorating job, which was pretty great all by itself. But now she had leverage and that was priceless.
