RAEANNE THAYNE

She gazed at it for a long time, unable to tear her gaze
away as an odd, terrifying sensation tugged at her insides.
She reached a hand out to touch that smiling face that
had become so impossibly dear to her, then jerked her
hand back when she realized what she was about to do.
Breathing hard, her thoughts twirling with dismay,
she forced herself to move away as fast as she dared
toward the front door.
Even though it was rude, she decided she would find
her mother quickly, then do anything she could to escape,
to deal with the wild shock of discovering she had
feelings for Jake she couldn’t even bear to acknowledge.
Her pulse pounding, she yanked open the door, then
had her second shock in as many moments.
Her mother was there, all right.
Wrapped tightly in the arms of Guillermo, Viviana
was sharing a passionate kiss with the man she had
thrown off her ranch.
