Today’s sneak peek into The Texan’s Little Secret is being shared for the very first time!

The bartender dropped off his second beer.  Luke clamped his fingers around the mug.  As he nursed the drink along, a steady trickle of folks filled up the rest of the space between him and the two women and overflowed onto the dance floor.  Somebody fed the jukebox in one corner.  In another corner, a crowd began to gather around the mechanical bull.

Over the buzz of conversation, Carly’s laugh rang out.  He’d have recognized it anywhere.

“Sounds as good as she looks,” said the guy near him.  “You know her?”

“Yeah.”

“I wouldn’t mind an introduction—”

Luke narrowed his eyes.

“—but, uh, I’m not asking,” the other man said in a rush.  “I can see that would be a waste of my time.”

Luke took a long, hard swallow from his mug.  Irritation, like the guy to his right, had begun to grate on him.  He wanted nothing to do with Carly.

But he needed Brock’s job to provide for Rosie and Mom.

Beer mug in hand, he rose from his bar stool.

Time to go make nice with the boss’s daughter.
