Book Blurb for Their Tangled Hearts by Mary DeWeber
Snippet #2
“I’m s-so s-sorry.”
Emma stammered.
“Don’t be,” the man
smiled. “Do you have nightmares often?”
“They’re not usually
this bad.” Suddenly cold, she shivered and clutched the blanket to her chest.
Confusion colored her voice as she asked. “How-?”
“I came in late last
night and couldn't sleep. I was on my front porch waiting for sunrise when I
heard you scream.” Smiling he held up his hands. “It’s a good thing I still
have the key or I’m afraid I would have broken the door down.”
While he spoke he got
up from the side of the bed and moved to a chair. For the first time she saw he
was wearing an open jacket and flannel shirt. No wonder he had felt so warm and
comforting.
“You must be Emma. I
heard about you from Sue, when I called last evening to see if she needed
anything from town before I headed out.”
She realized that
he’d deliberately been talking to give her some much-needed breathing space, in
which to gather her wits.
When he reached out
his hand, Emma didn't hesitate to place hers into it. “I’m Sue’s brother Jake
Peterson,” he introduced himself formally, as he politely shook her hand.
“It’s nice to meet
you Mr. Peterson,” she said automatically. “I’m Emma Winters.”
As Emma sat looking
up at him, she was suddenly struck by the absurdity of the situation. A bubble
of nervous laughter welled up from some secret place deep inside and surprised
her by escaping.
Jake, determining she
was not hysterical, grinned and soon they were both laughing.
