again aware of the indefinable look in his eyes. What was he so unsure of? She wet her lips. “Tell me, Mr. Reilly. What does the J.C. stand for?”
“The J is for John, like my father. But most people use my middle name. Connor.”
Meredith thought she would faint. Her legs threatened to buckle under her and her mouth went suddenly dry. She looked at Connor and saw a grin playing at the corners of his mouth. An invisible thread suddenly tightened between them, tugging her toward him. He reached out a hand for her. “Come on. I know a great place for lobster and they have a wonderful wine cellar.”
Meredith gave him her own trembling hand. “I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than have dinner with you.” She turned back to Gram, hoping she wasn’t making a mistake. “Don’t wait up for us.”
His fingers linked with hers. “Good. We can get a little tipsy and I can tell you all about emeralds.” He looked into her eyes and whatever tentative feelings had been lurking in his had disappeared. “Did you know they have mystical powers?”
About the Author
I always wonder what readers really want to know when I write one of these things. Getting to this point in my career has been an interesting journey. I’ve managed rock and roll bands and organized concerts. Been the only female on the sports staff of a university newspaper. Immersed myself in Nashville peddling a country singer. Lived in five different states. Married two very interesting but totally different men.
I think I must have lived in Texas in another life, because the minute I set foot on Texas soil I knew I was home. Living in Texas Hill Country gives me inspiration for more stories than I’ll probably ever be able to tell, what with all the sexy cowboys who surround me and the gorgeous scenery that provides a great setting.
Each day is a new adventure for me, as my characters come to life on the pages of my current work in progress. I’m absolutely compulsive about it when I’m writing and thank all the gods and goddesses that I have such a terrific husband who encourages my writing and puts up with my obsession. As a multi-published author, I love to hear from my readers. Their input keeps my mind fresh and always hunting for new ideas.
