#SnippetSunday – Birth announcement #MFRWauthor #contemporaryromance

Sharing a very quick snippet today from the opening scene of Cowboy in Charge, the next book in the Hitching Post Hotel series:

Near the crowded dining table, the proud papa hugged his birthday girl, who was all dressed up in pink ruffles with a tiny bow in her nearly nonexistent hair. After one last kiss to her cheek, Greg handed the star of the show over to her mama.

Jason tried for a smile. He shoved his hand into the back pocket of his jeans. His fingertips brushed the edge of his wallet. He had no photos on his phone, carried no pictures except his own on his driver’s license. But in that wallet he’d tucked a now worn and permanently creased copy of another child’s birth announcement.
