No remembering kissing Nick. No thinking about kissing Nick. And no wanting to be kissing Nick. It was as simple as that.
Just because she was back in Masterson didn’t mean she and Nick were going to pick right back up where she had left off.
Twenty years was a long time to be away from home. She had only been back in Masterson for a little over a week. She was bound to feel disconcerted and disoriented coming back. Especially considering the traumatic way she’d left town back then. Half of her nightmares had started in Masterson—the other half had ended in Finley Creek.
Robin was still recovering.
Never had she been more terrified than she had been that night.
She’d had to get out of Masterson back then; she wouldn’t have survived there. Not with the way Clive Gunderson had been terrorizing her.Stalking her.
It would have just kept escalating until he’d hurt her.
Robin would never forget that.
Her best friend Glenna had told her that Phil still felt guilty for not stopping Clive sooner. Said Phil had believed he could have done more for Robin than what he had. But that just wasn’t true.
Clive had had all the power then. No one could miss that.
Phil was working past it—with Glenna’s help. Glenna had needed help weeks ago, had needed to get out of Finley Creek. She’d found her way to Masterson, instead.
To Phil. Glenna moving to Masterson had given Robin the courage to come back home. To bring her children back to their family, too.
She just couldn’t be distracted by a man like Nick.
Her kids—they came first. No matter what.And they deserved to know her family, too.
That meant she was going to learn everything she could about the trucking business and what she was supposed to be doing exactly.Make this job work for her. So that she could make Masterson work for them. Even if that meant her new best friend was the last Tyler man in Masterson she would ever want to work with.Every day. Seeing Nick every weekday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 in the afternoon.
Nick. Right there. Looking like that.
Darn it. It wasn’t fair that the man still looked hot enough to melt a woman’s insides.
She was so going to have to get ahold of herself. She had a future to focus on, after all.
