Morgan slowly rose from his seat. âExcuse me.â His brows snapped together, and he came out from around his desk.
Kathleen stood defiantly in front of him. âYou asked me out, then, what...changed your mind or got a better offer?â
Morgan was confused, but by the scowl on Kathleenâs face he knew she believed what she was saying.
âAnd another thing, mister.â She used her right index finger and poked him in the chest. âYou donât say all those beautiful things to a woman and just kick her to the curb without an explanation.â
Morgan grabbed her finger and held it at his heart. âI didnât kick you to the curb, and I certainly didnât blow you off. You said you were leaving early and doing something with your sister this weekend. Iâd say you blew me off.â
âNo, I didnât.â Kathleen stepped forward, closing the gap between them.
Morgan watched Kathleenâs face morph from anger to confusion to desire. He could see how sincere she was, and he was overwhelmed with emotions. Morgan lowered his head and gently kissed her on the lips. Kathleen slid her hands up and around his neck, pressed her body against him and moaned his name into his mouth. Morgan deepened the kiss.
Dear Reader,
If you have read any of my books, you know how important it is that my stories come from a place of love, based in some truths, and showcase strong and sometimes unique family dynamics. I hope The Kingsleys of Texas hasnât disappointed. So far, you have met three amazing men. Now itâs time to meet the final Texas Kingsley.
In The Heiressâs Secret Romance, Kathleen Winston is a special agent for OSHA determined to bring down the Kingsleys for perceived malfeasance against their employees. Morgan Kingsley, the second eldest of the Kingsley brothers and a proud commitmentphobe, finds himself second-guessing his thoughts on the subject after spending time with Kathleen.
I love interacting with my readers. Please let me know how you liked Morgan and Kathleenâs story. You can contact me on Facebook or Twitter,
