Jake knows that is his land...and Emily isn't going to steal it away from him. He can wait here as long as it takes for her to grow tired of the game and leave...as long as he resists the nagging urge to hold her, to kiss those luscious lips, and make passionate love to her. And if she still refuses to go...Well heck. Maybe he should just marry delectable Miss Emily Bright and be done with it... 2002. 372 pages. PB in very good condition.
