Dakota Love Me: Tiller Brothers Book 2 by Judith Lee Page A

Justin could want to divorce her beautiful, sweet daughter.  Evelyn wanted to know what went wrong and what Sharon could have done better.  Sharon was always afraid that Evelyn would find out she wasn’t her daughter.  If Evelyn did some investigating and found out the truth before the settlement, Sharon was definitely going to have to take action sooner than she wanted.
    Roy yelled from the other room.  “I’m hungry.  How long are you going to be on the rampage?”
    “Shut up you fuck...you need to know what it’s like to be hungry.  That will build your character more than hauling shit around,” Sharon yelled back and dropped to the couch and picked up her copy of People’s magazine and dreamed of being one of the rich and privilege.
     

Chapter Nine
    Georgia had talked them into having a beer at the pool bar because she loved the relaxed atmosphere of the pool area with its beautiful flowers. They ended up eating nachos and a quick hamburger because the men were hungry again and didn’t think they could wait until after the show to eat.
    Dakota was relaxed and flirting with her, but Cameron was brooding.  “What’s up Cameron, you look upset?”  She turned to see what he was staring at.
    In the pool Kate was playing with a little girl about four years old. 
    “Momma, give me another turtle ride,” the little girl giggled.  Her mom’s smiled and the two of them looked like they were having a good time.
    “I didn’t know she had a kid.  Heard she might be a widow.  Now I really feel bad about stealing her story, which I really didn’t do on purpose.  I just had a fellow rodeo cowboy friend give me the scoop on the story; she had been working on for some time.  Not knowing she was working on it, I went right to the editor and got it published with top billing.  Guess she almost lost her job because she’d been holding the story, waiting for the last bit of information; I had gotten in a day.
    “That sucks bro.  I can tell you’re interested in her.  You need to take her out and tell her what really happened.”
    “Not going to happen.  Every time she gets near me I think she’s going to rip my eyes out.  She is a great looking blond…brown eyes that seem to swallow me up, but it doesn’t make up for her feisty attitude or stubbornness.”
    Georgia sat up.  “I can talk to her for you if you’d like.  She might listen to another woman.”
    He looked at Georgia and back to Kate.  “Let me work on it a little more and if I can’t make headway, I might enlist your help.”  He looked at Dakota, “You have quite a woman here so don’t go fuck it up or I’ll have to beat the shit out of you.”
    “You think you’re big enough.” 
    Georgia laughed at the two strong cowboy brothers who punched each other on the arm.  It seemed that if she and Dakota’s relationship developed into something more serious, she’d have a parcel of brothers and a sister to look out for her.  She’d always missed being in a big family, but her mom’s pregnancy hadn’t gone well and they’d had to do a hysterectomy to save her life.  She was sure that was why her mom and dad had always been so protective of her.  They had started her college fund when she was only three months old.
    Her mom had been her best friend.  She wished she were still alive so she could meet Dakota.  Georgia was sure her mom would approve.  Looking at the two brothers drink their beer and teasing each other made her happier than she had been in a long time.
    “What time does the concert start?” she asked Dakota.
    He looked at her with such longing she felt it all the way to her toes. 
    “In about an hour.  Did I tell you yet how beautiful you look in that red evening dress?” he reached over and grabbed her hand and brought her knuckles to his lips to kiss.  His other hand’s fingers caressed the exposed skin just above her knee.
    “Hmmm.  Yes, but thank you.  It’s nice to know.  I haven’t had
