“What?”
He turned to look at her. “You said you'd marry me. Even if it was coerced, you said yes. Don't think—”
“So you do remember.” She looked a little too amused. What was he missing?
“Of course I remember. I just haven't felt very good the last few days.”
“I was a little worried. It wouldn't be smart to sell my house if you weren't going to marry me.”
Jack attributed his slowness to the drugs. All the points finally connected when he saw Jane pound a ‘For Sale’ sign into Tess' front lawn.
“I don't have a place to live now,” Tess said.
Jack thought his heart would burst through his chest. “You have your hotel room.”
“I checked out.”
“That's not very smart.”
“I could call Daniel.”
“Don't you dare,” he gripped her chin with his thumb and index finger. “You're killing me, Tess.”
“Jack. Let's go home.”
About Jenna Harte and Upcoming Works
About Jenna Harte: I've always had a romantic streak. Even as a kid, my favorite characters on TV were almost always happily married and as a twelve-year-old, I'd write stories about them (this was before fan fiction or the Internet were invented).
I love to read romantic suspense or mystery, but am disappointed that romances don't follow up on the happily ever after and mysteries rarely provide the sexy, romantic elements I enjoy. So I decided to write my own.
When I'm not telling stories, I work by day as a freelance writer and blogger. I live in central Virginia with my husband, two teenage children and two cats.

Now Tess is in the middle of a murder investigation pitting her wannabe-boyfriend police detective against Jack Valentine, a man from her past with blue-green eyes and sinful smile that causes her to rethink her self-imposed celibacy.
