Taming The Lone Wolf. Joan Johnston
let a stranger into an upstairs apartment in her own home. So maybe it was better this way. Only, she had no idea where Stony lived. How would she find him when she wanted to reclaim her daughter?
She managed to force her eyes open a crack and sought out Stony’s face. “Take me, too,” she said. “Rose needs me.”
“For heaven’s sake, Tess,” Harry said irritably. “You’re in no condition to do anything but lie flat on your back in bed. Stay here in the hospital where you belong.”
The situation was desperate. She reached out and grasped Stony’s hand. It was big and warm and callused. His strength made her feel safe. “Rose needs me,” she repeated. “Take me, too.”
“All right,” he said. “I’ll take you both to my place.”
“Promise?”
“I said I would.”
He didn’t sound too happy about the situation, Tess realized. But she wasn’t about to let him out of his promise.
“Thank you.” Her eyes sank closed again.
If she could rest for a couple of hours, she would be fine. Stony could pick up Rose and come back for her. She would rescue her daughter from the clutches of the interfering stranger...as soon as she could get her eyes open again.
