Title: A Crazy Reunion
(Crazy, Texas #2)
(Crazy, Texas #2)
Author: Cate Baylor
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Raney Hoffman eloped with her high school
sweetheart believing they’d found their happy ever after, but her world crashed
down around her when he left after less than two years of marriage. Nearly
twenty years later he’s back in town. Her broken heart tells her she should
still hate the jerk. But her traitorous body surges into sexual overdrive at
the sight of him.
Rob Coleman was devoted to Raney the moment they
met in high school. After they married, his twin brother died unexpectedly and
Rob’s grief thrust him into an identity crisis he couldn’t recover from. The
decisions he made in that haze of grief have haunted him for nearly twenty
years. Now he’s back and completely befuddled by the strength of his response
to seeing Raney again.
They rebuilt their lives without the other but
their unexpected reunion makes it clear their history is far from resolved.
Rob sagged to his knees, overcome
with repressed grief and memories. Interred here, stolen away from him much too
early, was his twin brother. His other, better half. This was the first time
he’d been here since that cold, rainy November day they buried J.W.
He was numb, unable to recall a
single specific memory or identify a particular emotion. He just felt empty.
Bereft. Alone.
He didn’t know how long he sat
there gazing at J.W.’s headstone, but a bone-deep ache began to overtake the
numbness. He reached out, tracing the letters of his brother’s name, following
the lines that led inexorably to the dates of his birth and death. As his hand
wandered lower against the marble, he noticed a vase embedded in front of the
marker. Fresh flowers spilled out of the unremarkable green container.
He leaned back on his heels,
stunned out of the haze of his grief. The vibrant, cheerful white daisies and
red carnations seemed out of place when he felt so overwhelmingly sad.
Grudgingly, he considered their simplicity perfectly suited J.W.’s personality.
Assuming his grandfather was responsible for them, he wondered how Pops had
managed to make the trip out here given his recent fall. He’d have to remember
to thank him. He supposed he should take over that particular duty, too, now
that he was back.
