Welcome to Sneak Peek Sunday!

I’m continuing with giving snippets of my upcoming contemporary western romance release, Heartstrings. Today, we find Seth in Abby’s barn, but she’s not too happy about it….

A half-hour later, he rode out of the pasture behind Abby’s barn, led Emily’s mare into the stable and unsaddled her. He searched until he found a brush, then rubbed the mare down and gave her a ration of oats in a bucket. He let her out into the pasture as Abby marched across the driveway toward him.

Damn, did the woman ever just walk? He rested a hand on the doorframe above his head and waited for her to unleash the storm brewing in the clouds swirling in her eyes.

She pushed past him into the relative coolness of the barn and turned to face him. Her fists were propped on the curve of her hips. His gaze stuck on the cutoff denim shorts and the long toned legs below the frayed edges. Her tennis shoes were set apart in a tense stance.

He dragged his eyes back up her body and smiled. Her soft curves were a welcome treat when compared to the supermodel walking skeletons he normally hooked up with. “You know, time has definitely treated you well.”

Hell, he hadn’t intended to put voice to the thought.

When she narrowed her eyes into flashing slits, he would’ve sworn he heard thunder roll somewhere over the prairie beyond the river. “I told you to stay away from Emily.”

Uh-oh… I see a storm coming….

I’m sponsoring another western themed blog hop May 2 – 6.

Cowboys are known as bad-boys, but what happens when the bad-boy is also the law in town? What is it about these contradictions that make small town sheriffs, Texas Rangers and ex-outlaws-turned-lawmen so irresistible? Whether you write or love to read about the Wild West or modern day Montana, what do you love most about lawmen who are also cowboys? And what makes them so gosh-darn sexy?

Sign ups are open until April 21. I send out the welcome and instruction email to all participants on April 23.  If you would like to take part, sign-up on Cowboy Charm.
