      She’d Been Hurt. She’d Been Lonely. She Needed.

      And maybe those were secrets she never meant to reveal to a stranger, but she never told him anything. She just kissed him back, wildly, freely, intimately.

      Cameron thought he was a man who took gutsy risks…but Violet was the brave one, the honest one. Something in her called him. Something in him answered her with a well of feeling he’d never known he had.

      He raised his head suddenly. “I never meant—”

      She gulped in a breath. “It’s all right. I didn’t think you did.”

      “It was the moonlight.”

      “I know.”

      “I need you to know you can trust me.”

      “I’m thirty-four, Cameron. Too old to trust someone I barely know. But also way too old to make more of a kiss than what it was. We’ll just call this a moment’s madness and forget all about it.”

      Easier said…

      One

      Just as Violet Campbell limped inside the back door into the kitchen, she heard the front doorbell ring.

      She simply ignored it. It wasn’t as if she had a choice. Wincing from pain, tears falling from her eyes, she hopped over to the sink. After spending hours in the brilliant Vermont sun, her kitchen seemed gloomier than a tomb. It wasn’t, of course. Her pupils simply hadn’t adjusted to the inside light—either that, or the terrible severity of pain from the sting of a particularly ferocious bee was affecting her vision.

      Someone rang her doorbell a second time.

      Impatiently she yelled out, “Look! I can’t come to the door because I’m dying, so just chill out for a few minutes!”

      Everyone in White Hills knew her, so if they wanted something from her, they were hardly going to wait for formal permission. Heaven knew why she bothered keeping the doorbell operational, anyway. People barged in at all hours without a qualm.

      Gingerly she lifted herself onto the red tile counter, kicked off her sandal and carefully, carefully put her right foot in the sink. Her skirt got in the way. Ever since opening the Herb Haven, she’d had fun wearing vintage clothes—her oldest sister claimed she looked as if she shopped from a gypsy catalog. Today, though, she had to bunch up the swingy long skirt to even see her poor foot. An empty coffee cup was knocked over. A spoon fell to the floor. One of the cats—Nuisance? Devil?—assumed she was in the kitchen to provide a lap and some petting.

      She petted the cat, but then got serious. Darn it, she needed to get her foot clean. Immediately.

      Until that was done, she couldn’t tackle the bee sting. She was positive that the stinger had to still be in there. Nothing else explained
