Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, grandmothers, aunts, and moms-to-be, as well as to those with the very special role of stand-in mom. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

For today’s Sunday Snippet, I’m sharing a clip from The Cowboy’s Little Surprise that comes from my single-mom heroine’s perspective.

Tina holds many jobs, but her number-one priority is her young son, Robbie. Now that her high-school crush has returned to town and is hanging around the Hitching Post, her family’s ranch hotel, she’s even more protective of her son.

Tina could feel Cole’s angry gaze on her, could feel the rush of her own anger and confusion spreading through her. Again, she fought an overwhelming desire to hurry over to Robbie, grab him by the hand, and flee the hotel.

Running wasn’t the answer—not that she would choose that way out, anyhow. Neither was this light-headed, weak-kneed, schoolgirl-with-a-crush reaction. She squared her shoulders. If the time had come to tell Cole the truth, to make the explanations she’d spent five long years dreading, she’d stand straight and tall and look him in the eye.

And if it came down to a battle between them, she would give him the fight of her life—and Robbie’s.

Hope you enjoyed the clip!  To celebrate Mother’s Day, I’ll be giving away a few backlist books to my newsletter subscribers in the next issue, which mails soon, so if you’ve haven’t signed up yet, you might want to think about it!

I’m also holding a Goodreads giveaway, which opens today.  Find more details in yesterday’s post at the blog.

And for those of you who have read this far, you have my thanks! 🙂 If you leave a comment by Wednesday, May 13th, I’ll draw a name for one of my backlist books. (US & Canada mailing addresses only due to postal and international regulations, sorry.) Winner’s name will be announced in either a comment here or the next blog post.

Again, Happy Mother’s Day!

All my best,

Barbara
