I broke my wrist, conked my head real good, and they'd kept me in the hospital overnight for observation. The only time I didn't was when I'd fallen off the ladder in the stockroom at my shop. I wanted to delay, let the phone go to voice mail, do what I had to do another time, but I knew I shouldn't. I'd hoped for a different ending but deep in my heart I always knew this would be how we'd end. The calls didn't come frequently enough for me, but they came. Warmth rushed through me and, following close on its heels, dread. I blinked at the clock on my nightstand and saw it was almost four in the morning.
In a way that I knew I'd never get back to sleep. I usually woke up groggy, though, more willing to turn around, curl up, and fall back to sleep than get up and face the day.īut I was awake in a way that I could easily get up, make coffee, do laundry, and clean my apartment. It might take some time for me to get to sleep but once I found it, I didn't wake up until morning. But first, he must prove to Zara that he's a changed man.I was wide awake and I knew it was early. In fact, he wants to do more than that for Zara.
So when he hears that Zara's having a rough time, he wants to be the one to help. About himself, and about the life he knows he's meant to live. But Ham's faced his own demons, and he's learned a lot. Ham was always a traveling man, never one to settle down in one town, with one woman, for more time than absolutely necessary. Now, it will take every ounce of will power she possesses to resist all that he offers. As soon as Ham hears about Zara's plight, he's on her doorstep offering her a lifeline. Three years later, Zara's lost her business, her marriage, and she's barely getting by in a tiny apartment on the wrong side of the tracks. When she found someone who was, Ham walked out of her life. Zara Cinders always knew Ham Reece was the one, but he wasn't interested in settling down.
