This week, I’m trying something new to me: a Sneak Peek Sunday, in which bloggers link up to share peeks at their own books – six paragraphs from a published book or work in progress.

This clip is from my upcoming book, The Cowboy’s Little Surprise, due out in April.

In one startled, reflexive sweep, Tina took in almost everything about Cole Slater. The light brown hair showing beneath the brim of his battered hat. The firm mouth and jaw. Broad shoulders. Narrow hips. The well-worn jeans, silver belt buckle, and scuffed boots.

In the next reluctant second, she turned her gaze to the one feature she had deliberately skipped over the first time.

A pair of blue eyes that made her think instantly of her son.

Clutching the grocery sack, she demanded, “What are you doing here?”

His face looked flushed. But he didn’t appear angry, the way he would have if he’d seen Robbie and put two and two together. She breathed a sigh of relief at the reprieve, no matter how brief, giving her a chance to come to grips with his return to town.

If she ever could.
