Adam Mackenzie turned toward the barn, his smile a little frazzled. He wasn’t used to kids. She had to give him points for trying. And she wasn’t going to escape because he was heading their way.
Who could escape that moment when they felt as if their insides had jelled and their breath caught somewhere midway between lungs and heart?
All due to a cowboy in faded jeans and a T-shirt. Not a cowboy, she reminded herself. A football player with a life so far removed from this small community that she couldn’t imagine what it was like to live in his world.
“Adam.” She greeted him with a wavering smile.
“Jenna.” He held his hand out to her brother, his white hat tipped down, shading the smooth planes of his suntanned face. “Clint Cameron. I haven’t seen you since we played against each other our senior year.”
“Fifteen years.” Clint shook Adam’s hand. Jenna waited, wondering what came next. “Jenna said you’re back to take care of the youth camp.”

Jenna looked up. She watched as her brother considered the words of the other man. And she made a way to escape.
“I need to get supper started. I’ll let the two of you take care of business.”
