Army brat meets her match – #MFRWHooks #romance #ARancherofHerOwn
Hello, Readers!
This is my first time participating in the MFRW Authors weekly Book Hooks blog hop, in which members from the group share snippets from their work for your reading pleasure.
Please take a peek at my excerpt, and then check out the list of great authors at the link at the bottom of this post.

Today’s book hook is from my current release, A Rancher of Her Own, book two in The Hitching Post Hotel series. Jane Garland is not happy when her return to her family’s ranch puts her in direct conflict with her former teenage crush:
She didn’t mind spending a few extra days at the ranch, either, to get some of Grandpa’s photos out of the way—even if the job came with the drawback of having Pete around.
He’d been right yesterday about the way she had acted years ago, about being a pain whenever she went near him.
Long before that summer, she’d already seen how girls’ hormones made them do silly, stupid things around boys, and she had determined never to be like those girls. As an Army brat who had attended a succession of schools overseas by the time she hit her teens, she hadn’t ever met a boy she’d waste her time crushing on, let alone want to go out with.
Not, of course, that General Garland would ever have allowed his daughter to date at that age.
But the year she turned thirteen, on her summer vacation to Garland Ranch, she had run into Pete Brannigan outside the barn. Instantly, she understood why girls did silly, stupid things around boys.

I enjoyed the excerpt. I’ve known lots of “army brats” so it will be interesting to see how Jane handled that teenage revelation and how it seems to be coming back to haunt her.

Thanks, Trevann. I’m a former “army brat” myself, but my experiences were nothing like Jane’s. I’ve tried to make her history interesting for the reader – and a good complication for the conflict. 😉
