Excerpt
John had no sooner said the word than he streaked right past her. She turned in panic, ready
to give chase, when she saw him dash right into a pair of long legs. Which belonged to
her new employee.
“Slow down there, champ.”
Her heart took a dizzy twirl when Deke waylaid her nephew. He smiled at the boy,
revealing those dimples, which in turn made her chest squeeze tight. The sun caught the
hidden highlights in his dark brown hair, and that woodsy scent of his tickled her nose.
When his gaze met hers, well, she was nothing short of a goner.
This could be a problem.
“Hey,” he said in greeting, his voice scratchy like he hadn’t used it in hours. It definitely
rubbed her the right way.
“Hi.”
Their gaze held for a long moment before she felt John wrap his arm around her leg.
A glimmer of, what, she couldn’t say, crossed Deke’s eyes before he covered his reaction.
“I didn’t know you have a son.”
“Nephew. His name is John.”
Grace reached down to take John’s hand in hers. “This is Mr. Matthews.”
John looked up at her with a frown. “Maffews?”
Deke chuckled. “How about Mr. Deke.”
“Oh, I don’t—”
“Deke,” John shouted and took off. It was then she noticed the trailer full of canoes hitched
to Deke’s Jeep.
“That’s Mr. Deke,” Grace called as she hurried after him.
“I don’t mind losing the Mr.,” Deke said as they followed the little boy.
“He should be learning manners,” Grace argued.
“I think that’s the least of your worries.”
John stopped by the trailer, pointing up. “Boat,” he proclaimed, tugging on Deke’s jeans
when they joined her nephew.
“That’s right.”
“Go for ride?”
“Not yet,” Deke said. “I have to get them in the water first.”
“And then we have to check with your mom,” Grace added.
John wrinkled his freckled nose, but at least he didn’t argue. Grateful for small miracles,
Grace held back a smile and turned her attention to Deke. “What are you doing with the
canoes?”
“Your uncle asked me to haul them to the lake.”
Unbidden, she heard herself ask, “Need some help?”
His brow rose. “I got the impression you were strictly office-bound.”
Which had been the case until Mr. Tall, Dark and Outdoorsy walked into her place of
business. Then all bets were off. “I’ve been known to wander into the great outdoors from
time to time.”
He eyed her, top of her head to her feet and back. A devastatingly handsome smile spread
over his lips. She wanted to brush her hand over her hair to make sure she wasn’t a mess,
but she didn’t want to seem obvious.
