Deacon knew Rhea wouldn't exactly be happy to see him again. But he didn't think she'd shoot him. Right in the shoulder, no less. He'd experienced worse pain in his life, though. Besides, now Rhea would have to let him stay until she could nurse him back to health. Oh, the hardship.
Like A Woman Scorned
His convalescence would give Deacon a chance to convince Rhea he'd turned over a new leaf, that he was no longer the son-of-a-devil who up and left her all those years ago in a puff of sulphurous smoke. Now he's a man who knows what he wants. And no matter what kind of trouble Rhea has gotten into while he was away, what he wants more than anything is to win her heart.
