Million Dollar Marriage
“Holden studied her across the table, candlelight dancing on her face, in her eyes, and he wondered if maybe he had other reasons for choosing her to be his wife. She’d been handy, yes. She’d been in need of something he could give, and, he thought, willing to agree, true enough.
But there was more…he was drawn to the woman. He had always been drawn to her. Before, he’d given himself a million reasons to stay away from her. And now it seemed like he was busily concocting just as many reasons... why all those reasons no longer applied.
First, he’d justified his interest by telling himself she was no longer young and vulnerable and nursing a crush on him. Then he’d decided it would be all right because he’d keep this on the level of a business arrangement, that no feelings would be involved.
But to tell the truth, he was looking forward to being in close proximity to her for the next year or so.
That worried him, though he couldn’t have said why.MoreLess
