K is for Kendall — Gini Roberge

THE EVA JENNINGS FILES:Beautiful Spanish Kendall wants her husband back, but at what cost?---Eleven months ago, I was divorced from the only man I will ever love. I didn't want it and it nearly destroyed me. My son and daughter were the only reason I survived. After three years apart, my ex-husband reconciles with his sister, Angie, and she pressures me into showing him that I still love him. My attempts result in a kidnapping, a wild chase, and a threat to my children's lives.Book Seven Excerpt: I felt like I had been slapped...my eyes went back to Clint as a hand went over my stomach. He and Angie had reconnected? We talked things through a couple of weeks ago when her horses were stolen. He said with a flat tone. He bought a ranch and reconnected with his sister...meeting the twins. The pieces of his life were being put together. It's what I tried to help him with but, instead, it destroyed my life. I wasn't sure if my shaking legs were going to support me so I slowly lowered myself to sit on the top step. Aunt Angie wants us to come over tomorrow since it's Labor Day and we don't have school. Mak was nearly dancing up and down the steps. Here is her card, she said to call her. Sure...you can... I stared at the card she had shoved in my hand without really seeing it. No, Rico laughed. She wants YOU and us to come over and have breakfast...no lunch...no...Brunch! Mak finished for him. And the boys have a big dirt track outside for cars and she said I could bring mine. Rico ran in the house. Angie invited me to her house? But was that allowed in a divorce? I turned back to Clint...my mind still trying to grasp reality. My body was still tingling. Is it OK? I asked hesitantly. What? He frowned. Where was that happy man from just minutes ago? My going...there to... I stuttered. I don't care what you do. He said gruffly with a glare. Another slap...my jaw dropped in shock and the tears instantly filled my eyes. I could feel my breath shaking. He didn't care. That's right...he was my ex-husband...he wasn't supposed to care. Then why did it hurt so much that he said it?
