For your Snippet Sunday, this is from The Cowboy’s Little Surprise, book one in the new series, The Hitching Post Hotel.  The hero has just returned to Cowboy Creek after years away, and he and the heroine are meeting for the first time since high school.

“I still feel I owe you an apology.”

“Oh, please,” Tina told Cole.  “Don’t even think twice about it.”

“You’re sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure.” She forced a smile and hoped he couldn’t see her grinding her teeth in frustration. She just wanted him gone. Off the ranch. Anywhere but right here, right now.

“Well, that’s good,” he said again. “I’m glad you’re not holding any bad feelings against me, since we’ll probably be seeing a lot of each other.”

“I doubt it. The hotel keeps me busy and close to home. I don’t go into town much.”

“You won’t have to.” His smile didn’t look the least bit forced. “You’ll see me here. I’m back to working for Jed.”

The Cowboy’s Little Surprise releases in April!  You can find more info and pre-order the book at your favorite booksellers, including:

All my best,
