Bayou Paradox (2008)
“She pulled two more leaves from the stem and ground them in the stone mortar with the pestle. Daylight quickly faded into night, streaks of purple decorating the skyline over the trees. If she planned to finish preserving the foliage before it got too late, she’d better get to crackin’.And what about the sheriff’s embrace? What was up with that?She ground the leaves almost to liquid and then froze. If she didn’t pay better attention, she’d ruin the stock. With the droughtlike weather, she could...n’t afford to waste a single leaf or stem. She’d have to keep her wits about her. Now wasn’t the time to ponder Bubba Theriot’s motives or actions.Even if his hug had felt like coming home.Tara slammed the pestle onto the table, her hands trembling. What was happening to her? A simple hug from a man she didn’t particularly like right now reduced her to a simpering mess. She shook her head. No. She’d deal with figuring out her emotions later. Right now, she had to concentrate on making the healing potion and figuring out who did this to Grandmere and Tanty.Suzie Richard’s face flashed across her mind as fast as a hurricane making landfall.MoreLess
