Walker Bride
by Bernadette Marie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tyson was happy being a
miserable man, taking care of his family's land, and not involved with a woman.
However, even he can't resist the pull of attraction to the beautiful, and off
limits, Pearl?
The feud between the
Walkers and the Morgans had torn apart friends and families for generations.
What might happen when Pearl Walker and Tyson Morgan become business
partners—and more?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now for an Excerpt:
Her intentions on bringing Tyson to the bar had been to ease
him into something—anything. Her blood had been pumping since Tyson walked
through the door of her store. What she hadn’t anticipated was diving into
family history or it upsetting her as much as it did.
She was no prude. She understood relationships and sex.
Greed fueled her too. That’s why she was so successful. What she didn’t
understand was a man who would move from woman to woman and family to family as
if it were okay. Why would he think it was okay to gamble away their savings
over and over and then try and take away what his father and his brother worked
so hard to grow?
The waitress set her beer on the counter, and she picked it
up with shaking hands.
The afternoon was going to be a waste now. Tyson Morgan was
going to finish his drink and get out of there as fast as he could. Why
wouldn’t he? Crazy Walker women were not a prize anyone wanted to win.
She could feel the first two beers swimming in her head as
she walked to the table. The glass sloshed over the side a bit as she set it
down.
“You okay?”
“Fine,” she said as she picked up the glass.
“How are you getting home?”
“I have a car.”
Tyson’s lips pursed. “Yep, but I’m not thinking you should
drive it.”
“I wasn’t going to. I’ll go back to my store and stay there
for awhile. I’m not stupid. I won’t drink and then drive. I won’t even text.”
He actually laughed at that. “I didn’t mean to get you all
worked up over your dad.”
She set her glass down and leaned in over the table. “Are
you attracted to me?”
His eyes widened, and his face went pale. “Of course. You’re
a very beautiful woman.”
“Why don’t you have one?”
“One what?”
“A woman?”
He finished his beer and let out a long breath. “Don’t need
one.”
