New contemporary ranch romance from award-winning author Karen Rose Smith with family subplots. REUNION BRIDES series, Book 2 The Rocky D Ranch crackles with the chemistry between Zack Decker and Jenny Farber as these high school sweethearts reunite! Excerpt. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Zack was leaning toward her slightly, one hand over the back of the stall, the other free to do whatever it wanted. She suddenly wanted his arms around her. She suddenly wanted a lot more than that. As if he was reading the message in her eyes, he did put his arm around her--and he bent his head to hers. The first touch of Zack's lips wasn't anything like Jenny expected. She'd expected hard, possessive and arrogant. His lips were firm as if he knew what he wanted. But they were coaxing, too...encouraging her to respond. If she had thought further than that, she might have saved them both a lot of trouble. But she didn't, because all of her concentration was on the feel of his mouth, the touch of his tongue against hers, the strength of his arms as he pulled her closer, enveloping her fully in his embrace. She couldn't fall in love with Zack again. She couldn't let her future be affected like that again. She wouldn't . Wrenching away, she looked up at him and shook her head. "No. You're not going to make me want you and then turn around and leave again. It won't happen, Zack. I won't let it. I deserve more than that." Without waiting for a response from him, she returned outside to watch Dusty. If Zack built any sense of trust with this horse, it would be broken when he left. Neither of them needed Zack Decker, and she'd better not forget that. Watch for Books 3 and 4 in Karen Rose Smith's REUNION BRIDES series in 2012!
