“Daddy! Are you going to sleep all day?”
He reluctantly removed his glance from Faith. “I’m waiting on my turn to get in the shower.”
“Mommy and I already took our baths. Hurry up so we can eat breakfast.”
“You don’t have to wait on me. I know Uncle Trent is downstairs because I can smell bacon.”
“Do you think he’s got waffles?”
“He might.”
“I’ll go see.” Olivia blew him a kiss and ran out the door.
After she left, Landris didn’t hesitate. Moments alone with Faith were hard to come by. A few steps took him into the bathroom. Now she was rubbing cream on her face.
“I’m almost done in here.”
“Did you leave me some hot water?” he asked, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.
“Hey, I’m not the one who takes fifteen minute showers.”
“You smell good enough to eat,” he murmured as he drew his lips across the nape of her neck. Faith responded by tilting her head to give him better access to the sensitive place below her ear. He obliged by pushing aside the material of her robe and kissing her shoulder.
“Landris.”
“Hmm?” he asked absently, his mind on other things.
“Do you know what time it is?”
He lifted his head. “Time for me to take a shower?”
She turned in the circle of his arms. “It’s seven-thirty. That’s what time it was when I woke up to find you sleeping in that chair out there.”
He grinned wickedly. “We’ve come a long way since then. This morning when you woke up, I was sleeping in the bed with you.”
Faith laughed. “But your daughter was still doing her job as a ‘more than adequate’ chaperone.”
“Today’s going to be a little different.”
“How’s that?”
“Trent and Kiley are going to take Olivia to Brasstown Bald. That’ll give us a few hours alone.”
She walked her fingers up his chest. “What will we do with a few hours alone?”
“All the things I wanted to do five months ago and couldn’t. Kiss you on the pier, sit with you in the hot tub and take a nap with you in the hammock.”
Faith wrapped her arms around his neck. “You really are a romantic, aren’t you?”
Landris pulled her close and kissed her softly. “I don’t know about that. I’m just a man desperately in love with his wife.”

Also by Delaney Cameron:
Team Mom: A Sweet Contemporary Romance (Finding Love, Book 1)
Julie’s calm life is thrown a curve ball when her brother arrives the night before his seven-month deployment asking her to take care of his son. As a preschool teacher, she’s used to dealing with toddlers, not nine-year-olds. Noting her nephew’s interest in baseball, Julie signs him up for little league. She’s anything but thrilled to find out that his coach is a celebrity.
Eric returned to St Marys to lick his wounds and start over. But even in his hometown, he’s known more for his unfortunate appearance on a reality dating show than for his seven years in the major leagues. All he has to show for that poor decision is an ex-wife and a broken heart.
Julie’s obvious disapproval makes her the perfect choice for his team mom. If she doesn’t like him, she won’t cause any problems. But will that be enough to keep his growing interest in her in check? And as Julie’s preconceived notions about sports figures slowly unravel, will she be able to resist the man behind the public persona?
Stealing His Heart: A Sweet Contemporary Romance (Finding Love, Book 2)
Just days after her return to St. Marys, Darcy runs into her childhood crush. Given that she was twelve and he was nineteen at the time, it’s not surprising that he doesn’t remember her. And she’s just as happy to keep it that way. Her dreams of him coming back to find her grown up and so beautiful that he can’t help but fall instantly in love with her should have been long forgotten. All he can ever be is a reminder of how much she lost when she veered off the road to avoid an oncoming car.
Matt has spent the last five months trying to put a painful breakup behind him. When he meets Darcy, he can’t escape the feeling that he knows her. As circumstances bring them together, he finds himself drawn to this lovely woman who’s as disinterested in dating as he is. His suggestion that they hang out as friends seems like a sensible alternative, giving them the benefit of companionship without the pressure or commitment of a more serious relationship.
But does the heart truly forget? Or does it lock away those memories until the person comes along who has the key?
Dream of Me: A Sweet Contemporary Romance
Still reeling from the loss of her parents, Aubrey agrees to take a job on an island off the coast of Georgia. The setting couldn’t be more idyllic; getting along with her new boss couldn’t be more problematic. Her warm, impulsive nature doesn’t mix well with his cool, detached disposition. Corbin just wants peace. He’s already been burned by love and has no intention of being so again. The secret is not letting anyone get close. What happens when a woman who listens to her heart meets a man who’s trying to forget he has one?
Finding Allie: A Sweet Regency Romance Novella
Desperation leads Allie to do something she wouldn’t otherwise have done. A gently-bred female doesn’t offer herself to a stranger. If she does, she must be willing to accept the consequences. But what if among those consequences is one she hadn’t expected?
Nicholas knows all too well what awaits him at Waverton: marriage and the inevitable heir. He is only too happy to delay his arrival by accepting an invitation from an old friend to spend a few weeks at Groome Hall. When he is thrown (literally) into Allie’s path, he begins to suspect his hitherto calm, orderly life may never be the same.
Allie and Nicholas might be determined to forget their very unorthodox first meeting, but fate has other ideas. And when has fighting fate ever been easy?
