“You’re right,” Conner admitted, chagrined.
“Would you marry someone you weren’t crazy about?”
“That’s just it.” Conner quit listening to the voice of reason and leaned in. Lowered his head. “Richard’s a damn idiot for not being crazy about you. Any man in his right mind would be.”
She stared at him wordlessly.
“Dallas, I...” He’d blown it. Said something he shouldn’t have. “I’m just...”
“Are you?” she whispered.
“What?”
“Crazy about me?”
“Yes.” Crazy about her and plain crazy. He had to be. If not, he wouldn’t be closing the small distance separating them and seeking her mouth with his.

He broke off their near kiss and listened for the ATVs, acutely aware of their incriminating proximity. “I didn’t mean to...”
“Really?” Dallas gazed deeply at him. “Because I did.”
His heart, already hammering, nearly exploded.
Dolly whinnied again.
“We should probably talk about this. Later.” Rising from the wagon seat, Conner craned his neck and peered up the hill, the direction from which he expected Gavin to appear.
“Do you see them?” Dallas pushed to her feet, as well.
“No.” And that was strange. What had alerted the horses?
It was then that he noticed Molly and Dolly staring in the opposite direction, toward the bottom of the hill, their eyes wide and ears pricked forward.
