If You Were Mine

Theo MacLeod wasnt supposed to be the one. Tall, dark and handsome suits me just fine, but the cocky grin, know-it-all attitude, and mammoth ego? No thanks. I only hired him so I wouldnt have to sit at the singles table again. It was just pretend. He wasnt supposed to kiss me. My heart wasnt supposed to pound. We werent supposed to spend the night togetherthe hottest night of my life. One night turns into a snowed-in weekend away, and even the blizzard of the century cant cool the fire between us. I cant get enoughof his smile, of his body, of the way he makes me feel. Were nothing alike. Hes a daredevil, and Im a nervous Nellie. Hes a drifter, and I want to put down roots. Hes an opportunist with a checkered past, and Im a Girl Scout volunteer. But none of it matters when Im in his arms. I know hes made mistakes. I know his wounds are deep, and he doesnt trust easily. I know he doesnt believe he could ever be enough to make me happy, but he could. All he has to do is stay.
