Snippet Sunday: Southwestern winter heat – #MFRWauthor #romance

As December has just begun, this Snippet Sunday gives a quick nod to winter weather, Southwestern-style:

On the patio of the restaurant at their inn, a clay fireplace banished the December chill. They sat far from the streetlights in a corner filled with shadows. The darkness around them was broken by a tall vine-covered trellis threaded with small white lights. An ornate black metal candleholder with four squat candles illuminated their table.

Shadows danced against Mitch’s shirt, highlighting every move he made. The white broadcloth made his hair look as black as midnight. She fought the urge to reach up to run her fingers through it.
