Gun-Shy — Sandra James

She didn't want to care

Laura Ferguson should have been thrilled when her two sons, Scott and Danny, became friendly with their new neighbor, Bryce McClain. After all, the fatherless boys needed a man in their lives. And Laura herself was drawn to Bryce's strength and caring.

But Laura was convinced that her family was better off without him. Bryce was a gunsmith, and a constant reminder of her husband's tragic death.

So Laura vowed to keep away. Because if she didn't, she knew Bryce had the power to disarm her completely…

And that was exactly what Bryce intended to do.
