Harlequin Romance March 2021 Box Set Cara Colter (the mitten read aloud TXT) 📖

‘Owen, we’re both works in progress. We’ll work on it together.’ He smiled, and a bubble of lightness and fizz built at the centre of her. ‘You need to know that I’m never going to like baseball.’

‘You don’t have to like baseball.’

‘But you love it more than life itself. You said so.’

‘I love you more.’

She couldn’t wipe the grin from her face, but a thought had her sobering. ‘In terms of money, I’m not ever going to be rich. I’m sorry if that’s not what you think Frances wanted. But in my heart I feel this is the right thing to do. I’m simply taking what she started and building on it.’

‘I think what you’re doing is perfect.’

She released a pent-up breath. ‘So you don’t care that I’m not going to be rich? And you know that I’m not after your money, right?’

‘I know you’re not after my money, sweetheart. Besides, you’re already rich in all the ways that matter.’ His hand snaked beneath her hair to cradle her skull. ‘And I’m going to cherish you every single day of your life.’

‘You are too, you know—rich in all the ways that matter. I don’t want you ever doubting that.’ She cupped his face. ‘I want you to know that if you were to lose your fortune overnight it wouldn’t make any difference to the way I feel about you.’ She pressed a hand to his heart. ‘It’s the man you are, and your heart, that I love. And I promise you I mean to take very good care of it.’

‘I know you will.’ His grin hooked up one corner of his mouth. ‘Does that mean you’ll marry me?’

She had every intention of marrying him. But she wanted him to be one hundred per cent certain before she gave him an answer.

She stuck her nose in the air. ‘Do you have a ring?’

‘Not yet.’

‘Ask me again when you have a ring.’

He immediately set her on her feet. ‘Right, let’s go buy you a ring.’

Her laugh bubbled up from the very centre of her. ‘I’d rather stay here and make out.’

She found herself back in his lap on the sofa again.

‘Good idea.’

‘Though Gerry is bound to want his office back soon.’

‘Nope, he took the rest of the day off—mumbled something about having to go home and kiss his wife.’

‘Aw…he’s a romantic at heart.’

‘So it appears.’

She wrapped her arms around his neck. ‘The answer is yes, Owen. I have every intention of marrying you. But this has happened so fast and I want you to be sure.’

He traced a finger across her cheek, his eyes filling with warmth and jubilation. ‘I’ve never been surer of anything in my life. But I can see why you might think this has been a whirlwind affair. If it’ll help set your mind at rest, you can choose the date of our wedding. I won’t pressure you, Callie. I want you to be happy.’

‘Hmm…’ She pretended to think about it. ‘I’ve always fancied being a spring bride. Do you have a spare slot in your diary next week?’

He laughed. ‘For you, I’ll find one.’ And then he kissed her.

“Come out on the terrace,” he said.

Ronnie followed him past a spacious bedroom, and as she took a few steps forward onto the terrace and looked down at the dizzying view, she suddenly swayed. Red reached out to help her steady herself.

“It’s a different sensation, being out here, as opposed to looking out the window,” she said apologetically, inhaling deeply. “I’m feeling a little light-headed.”

Red steered her inside. He led her into the nearest room and had her sit down. He sat next to her and looked at her closely. “Are you feeling dizzy now?”

She closed her eyes, and when she swayed away from him, Red’s arm shot out to stop her. “Okay, take a deep breath,” he murmured close to her ear. “Nice and slow. And let it out…”

As she inhaled, her head came up and his lips brushed against her temple, igniting a thudding in his chest.

Ronnie turned her head and opened her eyes at that moment. Those dark chocolate eyes with the soft fluttering of her eyelashes were his undoing.

Dear Reader,

Have you ever dreamed about being rescued by a handsome hero? My heroine, Veronica (Ronnie) Forrester, spins out during a winter storm and is rescued by a tall Irish Canadian. He whisks her away to his Victorian mansion in the picturesque town of Parry Sound, where she has moved to begin a new chapter of her life.

Although Ronnie is not looking for a man, she is drawn to her “Viking” rescuer Redmond Brannigan II. He turns out to
