The Kavanaughs

“A horse isn’t that big a mystery. They show you what they need from you. Just like a man does.”

Riley’s voice had softened to a whisper. His gaze was intense, hypnotic. The need inside Dani swelled until she was dizzy.

He pulled her into his arms and lowered his face until their lips touched. In that moment every inkling of control vanished, melted in the heat of his kiss.

Dizzy with desire, Dani swayed against Riley. Her pulsing need vibrated through every erogenous cell in her body. She parted her lips and his tongue slipped inside her mouth. Thrusting. Probing. Ravenous. As if he couldn’t get enough of her…

Chapter One

Dani Boatman piped the last exquisite rose onto the top layer of the tiered wedding cake. She stood back and examined her handiwork. Magnificent, she decided—almost too pretty to cut and eat.

But it would definitely be eaten. According to the bride, the guest list kept growing. Weddings were apparently a big deal in the small town of Winding Creek, Texas—a chance to dress up, visit with friends and neighbors and dance to a live band. And, of course, to celebrate the new couple.

The exciting part was that this time, she was not only invited to the festivities, but was also actually going to be involved. Maid of honor in the wedding of Grace Addison and Pierce Lawrence.

She’d be the only attendant, except for Pierce’s five-year-old daughter, Jaci, who’d be the flower girl.

Grace had helped Dani pick out her dress, which was made of an emerald-green satin that brought out Dani’s eyes and went well with her mass of unruly coppery curls.

The style worked, too. The dress was fitted at the waist with cap sleeves and a slightly flared skirt that fell to her ankles—easily long enough to cover her chunky calves.

The rounded, no-frills neckline revealed only a minimum of cleavage and fully covered her size 38 D puppies. A plump lady’s version of chic.

Grace had been her first and only close friend since moving here. Not that the people weren’t nice, but Dani’s spare time amounted to pretty much zero.

Dani put the finishing touches on the cake, the last rose with petals so thin they were practically translucent. She’d entwined the roses with deep green vines to represent the way Grace and Pierce’s lives had joined together forever.

Dani was a sucker for anything romantic. Not that she had any romance in her life. She’d dated, but never anything serious. Never met a guy who’d blown her away with just a smile, the way it happened in books.

Hadn’t been with a guy who’d made her heart go tripping or left her breathless the way Grace claimed Pierce affected her.

But Dani was only twenty-six. One day her prince would come charging in on a white horse. Of course, with her luck, he’d probably be dropping by to order a wedding cake for his marriage to some hot chick with a drop-dead gorgeous body.

So, who needs a prince?

Dani had her very own bakery and she had her adorable, drama-queen niece, Constance, who’d dropped into her life totally unexpectedly. Between her job and her niece, she was kept busy enough that she hit the bed exhausted every night.

And Dani was just about there now. She rubbed the tired muscles in her neck and glanced at the wall clock next to the cooling racks. Eighteen minutes after nine.
