“You own the landscaping business, right? I heard about the trouble some of the men have been giving you. I want to assure you I won’t put up with it from my crew. You let me know if they give you any problems.”
She ignored the snort she heard behind her.
Barry Buchanan didn’t. “Dean, why’re you standing around like—” The man’s gaze narrowed on the worker who’d been harassing her, then shifted to her. “Something happen?”
Dean was the least of her problems at the moment.
“I was just playing around,” Dean said. “It won’t happen again. Sorry, ma’am.”
She nodded.
Mr. Buchanan sent the man back to work with a pointed glare, then shifted his attention to her. “I saw the mock-up of the plans. These houses will sell fast once you get things looking pretty. What was your name again?”
Beau’s father was being so good ol’ boy polite, Marley couldn’t blast him with her anger. “Marley Pierce. I own Marley’s Treehouse.”
She saw Beau frown as though mulling over her name, and her anger increased. She knew guys thought differently, but did they really forget the women they played? How could he have forgotten getting her pregnant?
Because you didn’t matter to him.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Pierce. As for Beau, my son’s telling you the truth. He’s fresh from Iraq and sporting a few wounds as you can see. It’s not a game that he can’t remember you.”
Unable to do anything but accept the man’s words about his son, she nodded. “I see. Well, Beau, I’m sorry for what happened to you and…I’ll let you both get back to work.”
She wasn’t sure how she managed to get the words out, but she did. With one last look at Beau, Marley turned on her heel and retraced her steps to the garden she’d left.
It wasn’t the greatest of exits. In fact, it wasn’t impressive at all, but given the way her legs shook she figured getting back to where she was supposed to be without falling on her face would have to do.

About the Author
Kay Lyons always wanted to be a writer, ever since the age of seven or eight when she copied the pictures out of a Charlie Brown book and rewrote the story because she didn’t like the plot. Through the years her stories have changed but one characteristic stayed true— they were all romances. Each and every one of her manuscripts included a love story.
Published in 2005 with Harlequin Enterprises, Kay’s first release was a national bestseller. Kay has also been a HOLT Medallion, Book Buyers Best and RITA Award nominee. Look for her most recent novels with Kindred Spirits Publishing.
