The Strong, Silent Type
by Lynn Kellan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If he breaks his silence about the scars marring his face,
will the truth drive her away?
Tina Hudson's busy sales job is a welcome distraction from
her empty house and memories of the husband she lost to cancer, but she's tired
of running from her loneliness. Tina suspects her brawny neighbor has been
leaving single red roses in her mailbox, but he's the strong, silent type-the
kind that should come with a warning label.
Wade Scott felt dead inside over the loss of his son and the
disintegration of his marriage. When Tina moves next door, Wade comes alive
again. Problem is, she's a beautiful sales whiz and he's an ordinary plumber
with a wicked scar along his temple. The truth of his past might drive her
away. With little hope of attracting her attention, he showers her with
anonymous acts of kindness.
When Tina
realizes Wade is the guardian angel who's been watching over her for the past
six months, she invites him to dinner. New Year's Eve is approaching, a perfect
time to start over...but Wade's stoic silence drives a wedge in their
burgeoning relationship. Should she take a new job that will put her on the run
again, or take a chance the strong, silent type might fill her heart-and her
home-with love?

Excerpt
He set down the wine glass with a soft thump. “You invited
me to dinner to get Austin off your back, right?”
Whoa. Nothing like a blunt question to ruin the mood. Tina’s
spirits took a nosedive, crashing somewhere in the pit of her stomach. She
wiped her mouth on a napkin, smoothing away the telltale quiver along her
bottom lip.
“Not entirely. I’ve been meaning to invite you for dinner.”
She regretted lighting the candle in the center of the polished dining room
table. The obvious attempt at romance had gone unnoticed. Or ignored. “You’re
always doing nice things for me. I wanted to reciprocate.”
“You already thanked me last night.” Wade’s thick forefinger
tapped the opaque green bottle of Merlot. “Why the fifty dollar wine? The good
china?” Hazel eyes skimmed up her burgundy sweater, targeting the loose
brunette curl dangling from the elegant clip holding up the rest of her hair.
“The way you look?”
Desire glimmered in his appraising gaze. Tina could tell he
liked what he saw, but the rigid ligaments along his forearm indicated he would
not reach for her.
Why wouldn’t Wade act on his impulses? She lowered her gaze,
rubbing a thumb along the crisp crease of her gray slacks. Could he tell she
was out of practice and a little scared?
Okay, she was terrified—but maybe a dose of honesty would
boost her courage. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had dinner with someone. I
wanted everything to be… nice.” Tina forced herself to give voice to what had
been bouncing around in her mind for the past few weeks. “To tell you the
truth, I’m tired of feeling empty and alone. I’m ready for something good to happen.”
