1 " Her thoughts drifted to Tyler Dunn... to the feeling of being held in his arms. Wistfulness curled through her heart and she wished for the freedom to enjoy the attention of a man... to indulge in a lady-like flirtation... to fall in love.

A soak sounds wonderful." Tyler winked at her. "Better than a tub. We have mineral hot springs - good for what ails you." "What in the world?" Her eyes widened and her mouth pinched. "Hot springs? Outdoors?" He grinned at the proper expression on her face. "Outside under God's blue sky. "
5 " Lily studied the rock garden. On a long, low hill that sloped to the stream, someone had set stones into the side and planted wildflowers in the pockets of dirt above them.
