Lenora Worth - Sweetheart Bride

Did the man realize he had a way with words? Did he even know that the way he said things with that exquisite hint of an accent went right to a woman’s heart?

She could speak one thing and mean another, too. “I don’t want you to get lost.”

His dark eyes gleamed like midnight water. “Then let’s go.

“Top down?”

She nodded. She needed the cold wind to make her snap out of this massive crush.

With that, he got in and cranked the motor. The car purred like a great cat. Nick shifted gears and Brenna held on for dear life, her breath caught in the cool night air. This man with all his fancy things had first reminded her of Jeffrey. But Nick Santiago was nothing like her shallow, self-centered, very ex-fiancé. As Callie had said, he seemed to be the real thing.

At least he felt real, driving this powerful machine, his hands only inches away from her. Brenna tried to focus on breathing. He was too close, way too close.

“Where am I going?” he asked.

Brenna came out of the fog surrounding her mind. “Oh, take a left at the next traffic light. Our house is a few miles out of town, on the Big Fleur Bayou. When you see the sign for Blanchard’s Landing, you’re there.”

“What is chicken perlo?” he asked, grinning over at her.

“Well, it’s chicken and rice and spices and we serve it with corn bread and biscuits, all homemade. It’s usually cooked in a big iron pot.”

He hit a hand on the steering wheel. “The food down here is so good.”

Brenna couldn’t deny that. “But I’ve been to San Antonio. The food there is wonderful, too.”

“Yes, and my mom is a good cook.”

She wanted to know all about his family. “So you’re an only child?”

He slowed the car as they reached the sign she’d mentioned, then turned into the next driveway.

“Yes.” He parked the car in the long driveway leading to the white cottage and stared into the darkness. “I have been for a long time now. But I had a sister. She died when I was a teenager.”
