Hope you’re having a good day! Today’s snippet is from one of my Hitching Post Hotel books. A Rancher of Her Own is still $.99 at most major e-tailers. And my heroine’s still trying to keep her distance from the hero. Good luck to her with that. 😉

Pete moved closer and touched Jane’s sleeve. “Nice dress.”

“That sounds a few steps down from ‘pretty.’”

He laughed softly. “So, you did hear what Rachel and I said. Hoping to catch more compliments?”

“Maybe. Have I brought the right bait?”

“Maybe. Let’s try it and see.” He ran his hand up her arm, then to her shoulder. With one finger, he stroked the skin left exposed at the neckline of her dress, setting off ripples of pleasure inside her. “Smooth,” he murmured.

He palmed the side of her neck, his long fingers tunneling into her hair, his thumb brushing her cheek. “Soft,” he said.

“Trying to win me over with compliments, cowboy?”

“Maybe.” He tilted her chin up and lowered his head, touched his lips all too briefly to hers. “Sweet,” he said against her mouth.

He slipped his hand to the back of her head and held her still as he kissed her, fully, completely, leaving behind the faintest flavor of good champagne. Leaving her tingling all over.

“Satisfying,” he said smugly.

If he only knew. “Is that another compliment for me,” she murmured, “or a commentary on your technique?”

Smiling, he shrugged. “I’ll let you be the judge of that.”

He slid his arm around her, pulling her close.
