Page 31 of One Heart to Win


  “Next Sunday sounds wonderful.”

  “You’ll have to move a bed to the porch for me.” She rolled her eyes, but he added, “I’m not kidding. But next Sunday is a nice date. We might even get our house built by then.”

  “Now that’s absurd. There’s no way—”

  “You’d be surprised, actually, I guess you will be. We’ve got carpenters, even masons, and one heck of a lot of people who will want to pitch in to see it happen. A barn can be built in a day. A fancy house will take a few days more. And you can design it however you want—if you want one here.”

  He was suddenly looking a little worried, for having jumped the gun. She assured him by saying, “I thought we might take a trip to New York after the house is finished. We can pick out furniture together. And I can show you where I grew up, introduce you to my friends—”

  “And talk me into staying? I will, you know, if that’s what you want. I don’t care where we live, as long as we’re together.”

  “You’d do that for me?”

  “I’d do anything for you.”

  She wasn’t really surprised that he’d say that. It was part of his charm, just one of the many reasons she’d fallen in love with him.

  “Lucky for you, I’m partial to Montana sunsets,” she teased. “Among other things. And I think we can find an empty bed for you in the house.”

  Drawn by his looks, roped in by his charm, her heart had been won by this man. It made her smile quite brilliantly to realize that her grandchildren were going to be cowboys after all.
