Yeah. The tax that men have to pay for not having to menstruate every month. Or risk getting pregnant. Or deal with the physically stronger sex in a macho world… Women have to put up...

No, it’s not crap!” he said patiently and started peeling out of his sweater, trying hard not to get his braced hand caught in the sleeve. He emerged, his hair a bit messy, and tossed...

Sometimes you have to walk away from what you want in order to find what you deserve.

Being a single parent on a part-time basis is tricky to navigate. That is what a racing widow has to do.

Because I was there that day, and so were you.

I have to tell you hon, I don’t mind a little teasing now and then, but I’m no masochist and I’m sure as hell no saint…here lately, being around you is agony.

You’d be surprised. Just as there are different kinds of intelligence, there are different kinds of stupid.

What’s bothering me is you always seem ready to snap my head off my shoulders and I’m not comfortable with that.

And here I thought I’d get by on my charm and good looks.””That’ll get you a first date. It won’t get you a second one with anyone who’d be suitable.” When he laughed, she look...

I’m not going to ask why. I’m going to make assumptions.

Nolan?

He stood there tall and dashing, peering down at her with a set of mesmerizing sapphire eyes. It wasn’t the eyes that had her sex-drive squealing into overdrive; it was that…hair. Now, Tarrah had never...
