Silent Hearts

A Hamilton Stables Novel

by Melissa West

Blurb:

Nick Hamilton has always known he’d take the reins of the family business when his father died, but that doesn’t make it any easier when the time comes. Especially with his two siblings tempted by a shrewd offer from a huge corporation to buy Hamilton Industries. Needing advice, Nick turns to his sensible childhood friend, Becca Stark—and finds her suddenly grown-up beauty ignites brand-new confusion, and crystal clear desire…

Becca has loved Nick for as far back as she can remember, but she decided long ago that telling him would be a mistake. Stubborn, strong Nick doesn’t see her as anything but the tomboy she used to be—or does he? As she helps him untangle his feelings about the ranch’s future, the familiar bond between them heats into an explosive attraction—and the kind of love that just might take the lead…

Excerpt:

“What the hell was that?”

“He was making a move on you. The instructor. On a student. I couldn’t allow such morally depraved behavior.”

Becca’s head twitched. “Yet you let that blond chick flaunt her goods all over you.”

Nick tossed up a hand. “Hey, I’m not the instructor and she’s not my student. And besides, she just offered to help. I didn’t ask her to. Why didn’t you help? Oh, that’s right, you were too busy drooling over Instructor Z.”

“He’s Kate’s brother. Shouldn’t you be nicer?”

Nick considered it for a second, then shook his head. “Nah. Alex would’ve supported me on this.”

“Alex? Your brother Alex? Mr. All Over Anything That Walked before meeting Kate? Yeah, I don’t think so. Zac is his brother-in-law. I think he’d tell you that you were being an ass.”

They were outside now, rain pouring down in sheets, soaking everything and further clouding Becca’s thoughts and mood. “You can’t just bully every guy interested in me. And I don’t even think he was. He was just being nice.”

“First, I don’t bully every guy. And second, he wasn’t being nice. Guys aren’t nice. They only want one thing. Zac only wants one thing.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

“It’s not. Every guy you’ve ever met wanted to get in your pants.”

Becca was fuming now, her hands in fists at her sides or she’d be tempted to deck him. How dare he? How dare he! “Really? Every guy? You’re a guy. You want to get in my pants?”

“Hell yes! Every single time I see you!”
