Caroline, thank you for inviting me to visit again!
Readers, I’m sharing a peek into my brand-new
release, COWBOY IN CHARGE. To beat
the summer heat, I’ve chosen a clip intended to help you think cool thoughts.
;)
COWBOY IN CHARGE Excerpt
A banana split wouldn’t have been his first choice of
dessert in January, but it never dropped off his personal menu. He wondered how
much of Layne’s agreement was driven by the boy’s eagerness to have ice cream
and how much of it came from her need to sit down.
They were the only ones in the place, which allowed her
to argue with him about who would pay for their order.
“You bought my groceries,” she said in a low voice when
Shay had moved away to assemble his banana split. “Getting dessert is the least
I can do.”
“You never pay when I’m with you at the Big Dipper,” he
said flatly.
Her face froze. She blinked once, then walked away to
plop herself down at a nearby table.
They had left the carriage parked outside the shop. She
set the baby carrier on the far edge of the table near the wall and took off
the blanket. Scott settled down in a chair beside them with his ice cream cone.
The minute Jason joined them, Layne leaned forward and
said quietly, “That wasn’t necessary.”
“Really? With the way Shay stood behind the counter
giving me the evil eye?”
She shot a quick look toward the cash register, but he
knew the other woman had disappeared through the doorway behind it into the
back room.
“She didn’t give you the evil eye.”
“Close enough to it, and I wasn’t about to stand down.”
He dug into his banana split and held up a mouthful of
vanilla ice cream. “You sure you don’t want any? I can always get another
spoon.”
“No, thanks.”
“Too tame for you, huh? You always went for the fancy
ones, the chocolate-marshmallow swirl or the pistachio-walnut-mint.”
“I’m surprised you remembered.” She didn’t meet his eyes.
“Are you kidding? Those were premium flavors. I had to
pay extra for `em.”
That got her looking at him. “Don’t even try to make me
feel guilty about that. Your banana splits and triple-dip sundaes cost three
times as much as my cones.”
He laughed and spooned up a mound of chocolate ice cream
covered with whipped cream. “We spent plenty of time here in our dating days,
didn’t we?”
“It was everybody’s favorite hangout.”
“I’ll agree with that. And I won’t point out how you
sidestepped the question.”
From the
cover of COWBOY IN CHARGE:
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Single mom Layne Slater thought she'd seen the
last of Jason McAndry when he chose the rodeo over her and their unborn son.
Now Jason's back in Cowboy Creek and just as handsome as ever. But Layne can't
give in to those feelings again. She has to protect her children…and her heart.
Jason wants to try to make up for the pain he
caused when he left. The least he can do is help Layne while he's home. Before
long, Jason realizes he's finally ready to be the husband, father and man his
family deserves. But can Jason prove to Layne that this time, their love is
forever?
