Always You by Ruth Roberts After tragedy strikes, Diana Mathison finds herself back in her home town of Magnolia Falls, sharing custody of her baby sister with her step sister. Reeling from the death of their parents, the three sisters have to learn how to lean on each other and live life without their two pillars of strength. Diana is full of doubts in her ability to raise a little girl and run her father’s law firm. The last thing she needs is to have Zack Connelly back in her life. The last time she let him in she ended up hurt and broken hearted. Zack has given up on true love. It’s not for him and it’s certainly not with Diana Mathison. He came back to Magnolia Falls to heal after losing his sweet wife and their unborn child at the hands of a drunk driver. Hannah never had a chance at the love and happiness she deserved, therefore neither should he. His life plan is to take care of his sister and niece for as long as they need him, and to be the best veterinarian the town

Excerpt: He handed her a glass of red wine then busied himself at the stove with dinner. Diana watched e felt herself being slowly consumed by heat only Zack could evoke in her. If he could do this to her with a kiss, she was afraid of what would happen if he made love to her. She’d probably go up in flames leaving a pile of ashes in his bed. That thought made her smile, almost making her laugh. “Do you find my kisses laughable?” He asked. “Not even remotely,” she said. “Dare I ask why you were smiling when I was kissing you?” She shook her head. “Believe me, you don’t want to know—well, maybe you would. But I’m not telling.” “Ah, so it was something good. A fantasy that included me perhaps?” Just then the timer on the oven began beeping. “Saved by the bell,” she said, lifting her glass of wine to her lips. He shut off the timer and pulled dinner out of the oven and set it on the counter. “You aren’t getting off that easy. I’ll find out. Question is, should I use bribery or coercion?” He asked. “Go for bribery,” she replied, outrageously. “In that case—” He lifted a small bite of filet mignon to her lips with his fingers. She took the bite he offered, it tasted better than anything she ever had, possibly because it also had a taste of Zack. “That is delicious. Anymore of that and you’ll soon have me revealing all my thoughts to you.” “I want to know your thoughts, especially if they include me. I want to know what’s in your heart, particularly if there is a place for me. Because my thoughts and my heart are filled with you. Only you. Always you.”
