Handbag and Book: Don't want to carry a purse w Constance Bretes #musthaves #contemporary romance

I am not one to have to carry purses anymore. It used to be that I had to carry a suitcase purse for all my stuff that I had to have available and handy. There are certain things that I MUST have in my purse. My inhaler, for one, hearing aid batteries, wallet, and of course, little note pads for writing.This particular purse, I got from my husband's storage unit purchases. I thought it was kind of cute, and of course, the cost? $0.00. Oh yeah, and I am a cheapie. This is smaller than usual for me and my wallet barely fits in it. But, it will work.

Marissa came home to escape her abusive ex-husband. Her home was her haven, until Riley invaded her space.It seemed to Riley that Marissa was being evasive and noncommittal. She sure was an attractive woman, maybe a little too thin, but she had a lovely face and perfect rose-colored lips. Something about her piqued his interest.“I just wondered how you were. Is this the first time you’ve been back to Frankenburg since high school?”"Yes.”“What brings you back?”“I wanted to come back.” She crossed her arms over her chest.He was aware of her annoyance, he tried to coax her into a better mood, but failed.“Marissa, if you’d like, I could make you an offer on the twenty acres of land. That would give you enough money to buy a nice home in town and live more comfortably than you would here.”“Why are you so bent on me leaving this house?” Marissa shot him a cold look, uncrossing her arms and squeezing her hands into fists.“I’m not bent on anything, but I told you before I think the house is dangerous to live in.”“Well, it’s my problem, so I’d appreciate it if you would mind your own business.”“Why are you so testy? We’re a tight community here in Frankenburg, you know that. We look out for each other and try to help when we can. I’m only trying to be neighborly and keep you safe.”“I’m not interested in you being neighborly and keeping me safe. I’m capable of taking care of myself, and I don’t need any help.”“All right, Marissa, but you get that inspector out here as soon as possible.” Riley’s voice was smooth, but insistent.“Yes, Sheriff.” She spat out the words contemptuously, did a mock salute, whirled around, walked into the house, and slammed the door in his face.
