Every Bit a Cowboy Quotes

“He took her left hand and eased it toward him. Slipping the ring from the box, he slid it onto her finger. It fit perfectly. “How about that? It fits like it were made for you.” He looked up to see tears glistening in her eyes, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed in a vice.
“Oh, hey now, darlin’. I didn’t mean to make you cry. You don’t have to wear it.”
She closed her fingers around his hand. “You’re a good man, Knox Garrison. Better than I deserve.”
“You deserve everything,” he whispered, the emotion stealing his voice.
She brushed away the lone tear that had slipped down her cheek and forced a shaky laugh. “I’m okay. Really. It just got me for a minute. This is how I’d always dreamed it would be. A handsome guy with a heart as big as Montana putting a gorgeous ring on my finger. But that’s all this is. Just a fantasy.”

“The man was seriously sexy. His shirtsleeves hugged the solid muscles of his biceps, and his forearms flexed and corded as he pounded nails into the wall and hung her pictures. She wasn’t normally this affected by a man. Heck, she was around men all the time, but none of them had her heart pounding like a jackhammer in her chest or her libido on DEFCON 1 alert every time she was within a foot of them.”

“Seriously? A tool belt? Carley swallowed as she watched Knox hook the belt around his waist, then let it ride low on his hips. What was it about a guy wearing a tool belt that had her lady parts screaming that they needed to be hammered? Wait, bad choice of words. She meant that they were broken and needed to be fixed…with his tool…er…tools. He pulled his hammer from the loop on the side and held it up, almost as if reading her mind. “Do you have something you need me to nail?” A laugh burst out of her. Whether it was nerves or that his comment was just too cheesy, she couldn’t hold back the laughter. He lifted one shoulder as he offered her a sheepish grin. “That one was probably a little too much.” “But you did get me to laugh.” “One mission down, one to go.” “You still think you’re gonna earn that kiss?” His lips curved into a slow sexy smile. “I’m still gonna try.”
