“YOU REALLY DO impress me, you know.” Cade peered down at Brooke, who lay against his chest, curled up in the sheets of her bed. “Thanks. I even impressed myself with that one.” She chuckled. “I wasn’t referring to that move you threw in at the end there.

He didn’t have to try to explain things, nor did he have… — Julie James Copy Share
“He looked at her for another moment, then bent down on one knee. Sidney’s heart leapt out of her chest. “Oh my… — Julie James Copy Share Image

“I think we need a little more rallying around the dumpee.
