Happy Father’s Day to all who are reading this – both to the men who have children of their own or fill a father’s role in someone’s life, and to the women who share their lives with those special men.

In honor of the day, here’s a Snippet Sunday from the point of view of one of “my” dads. The hero of A Rancher of Her Own, Pete Brannigan, is the single dad of two kids who are a real handful!

After a look at the kitchen clock, Pete leaned over to kiss Rachel’s forehead. “I’ll see you after school. It’s time for you to go and brush your teeth.”

“And get my backpack. To bring all my invitations home.” She slid from her seat.

As she left the room, he and his housekeeper exchanged another glance. “The bossiness hasn’t let up any, has it?” he asked.

The older woman smiled, adding a few more wrinkles to her lined face. “As I keep saying, she’ll outgrow it.”

“Yeah? Before or after one of the bigger kids at school thumps her on the nose for pushing him around?”

“She could probably talk herself out of a fight with anybody in that kindergarten class.”

“It’s the middle-schoolers I’m worried about.”
