It’s Snippet Sunday time! Over and over again in A Rancher of Her Own, Pete and Jane have been caught between attraction pulling them together and their past and current conflicts pushing them apart. In this snippet, guess which one wins. 🙂

Pete moved a step closer to Jane. “There’s something between us that we ought to put a damper on—before it gets out of hand.”

“And a kiss is going to solve this?”

“Then you admit there’s something there?”

“Maybe. But that doesn’t mean we have to act on it.”

Always good for an argument, this lady. Her defiant tone combined with the deepening pink of her cheeks only increased his need to kiss her. “Why not?” he murmured. “We could get it out of our systems. If you don’t agree, then why don’t you back away?”

“You first.”

He laughed. She was playing him—just the way he was playing her. As if this were their first dance, set to words instead of music. Set to end the way her first dance had done? He shuffled another half step toward her, moving so close she had to look up to hold his gaze. “Honey, I’m not going anywhere.”
