He's having a hard time deciding between getting close to her...or walking away for good.Eden Karr never expected to find herself living alone in the small town of Arbor Glen, Texas, the proprietress of her own clothing boutique, and expecting twins but it's not a bad life. She has her work. She has wonderful friends. And now she has a carpenter who does a lot for those "eat a worm" days that she's trying her best to shake off. Problem is, things seem so much easier when he's around and she knows better than to rely on anyone but herself.Jace Morgan thought he had his act together. He likes being his own boss. He likes working with his hands. Carpentry isn't quite the same as architecture but it's close enough that he doesn't dwell on all that he's lost. What he doesn't like is waking up every morning and thinking about Eden Karr and the way she makes him smile. Or the way she almost makes him forget what brought him to this point in his life and that can't happen.Because forgetting cuts too close to forgiving. Views: 310
