Snowbound with Mr. Wrong

Today’s Teaser Tuesday follows the previous post, Lost in the storm (a Snippet Sunday post). Click here or the back arrow above if you’d like to read that one first.

And for your Teaser… Even being caught in a blizzard can’t distract Lyssa’s thoughts of Nick:

She wished she could walk up and wrap her arms around him, could close her eyes and then open them to find they were back where they were last summer. Because, back then, in their early days of dating, she had already known he was special. Back then, she still had dreams their relationship would last.

Nick shot a glance at her. All she could hope now was that her expression hadn’t given away her thoughts to him. Again.

She took a deep breath of bracing, frigid air, the only way she had right now of bringing herself to her senses. If she couldn’t control her thoughts about him or her physical reactions to him, she could at least act as though she had a handle on her emotions.

“Brent’s balance comes naturally to him,” she told Nick. “His mom says he’s got the instincts of a polar bear on ice. A good thing for us right now,” she added, almost subconsciously rubbing her aching shoulder.

Between Tommy’s weight and all the little boy’s extra clothing, she’d carried nearly more than she could handle. Her body had begun to protest in additional places. But she reminded herself a few aches and pains didn’t mean much compared to what Nick must be suffering. And her discomfort didn’t matter a bit if it meant they could all reach safety sooner.

“Thanks for your help with Tommy,” she said.

“That’s my specialty—troubleshooting. Although this time it’s more like troublemaker. If I hadn’t tripped over that toy, I could have carried the kid all the way myself.” He scowled.

He was such a fixer, such a doer. She knew how much his inability to help must bother him. No matter why their relationship hadn’t worked out, no matter that she’d just given herself a mental shake about hiding her responses, she couldn’t help herself now. Her heart went out to him.
