Thanks to everyone who celebrated yesterday’s digital book birthday of The Rancher’s Baby Proposal with me!
In today’s Teaser Tuesday, the heroine, Ally, is questioning her sanity after agreeing to babysit her longtime crush’s baby. Her best friend, Tina, is offering to help:
Reluctantly, Ally crossed to take a seat on the couch and took Tina’s newborn into her arms. The blanket-wrapped baby felt warmer and heavier than Ally had expected. Ally smiled down at her.
“See? Not so bad, is it?”
“You’ve got such a treasure here, mi amiga,” she told Tina in a murmur, afraid her voice might startle the child. Better to let her sleep. Her goddaughter had an angelic face with a tiny cupid’s-bow mouth, both of which Ally worried might be deceiving.
“Andi and I can teach you all you need to know.” Tina’s cousin had two small children of her own.
“Oh, right. An entire Baby 101 course, compressed into a couple of days?”
“Sure. You’re a quick study. Piece of cake.”
“Don’t mention cake,” she said with a moan. The baby moved her arm slightly, and Ally lowered her voice again. “I could eat an entire pan of your abuela’s Sopapilla cheesecake right this minute.”
Tina smiled. “I don’t think it’s on the menu tonight. But stay for supper. By the time we’re done, Emilia will need another feeding and a diaper change, and we’ll get you started on some hands-on experience.”
Ally gave a shaky laugh. “This might be all the hands-on I can handle.”
