Just a week until the official release of The Sheriff’s Son for the first time in e-book!

For today’s #TeaserTuesday, here’s a glimpse at Tanner and Sarah’s reunion, complicated by the presence of the seven-year-old boy Tanner doesn’t know is his son….

Sarah kept a reassuring arm around Kevin but shifted him to her side so they could face the enemy together.

Normally, she had a healthy respect for the law.  But this was Tanner Jones, and that made all the difference.  “What happened, Kevin?”

Tanner whipped a leather-covered notebook out of his pocket.  As he started toward them, her son trembled against her.

“Nothing happened, Mom!”

Tanner snorted.  “You call defacing a sheriff’s car nothing?”

“Oh, Kevin.  You didn’t.”

The bell over the front door rang again, and Kevin’s friend Billy poked his head into the room.  “Hey, Kev, what happened to ya?  The bus is late and Mom told Gary he had to drive us to school and he’s yelling to hurry up.”

Kevin slipped from her encircling arm and looked at her with pleading eyes.

She nodded.  “You go to school, and I’ll speak with Deputy Jones.  Be prepared, though.  We’ll talk about this when you get home.”

“Wait a minute—” Tanner began.

Her son bolted, sneakers pounding across the wooden floor, down a side aisle and through the front door, which he slammed shut behind him.

The bell jangled so hard, she thought it might fly off and break a window.

“Damn, the kid’s fast,” Tanner muttered.

Fast and long gone, while she stood there, trapped.

Kevin had done plenty to concern her lately, from smart-mouthing her and his teachers to acting the clown in class.  He would face the consequences eventually.  She would have to face her consequences right now.
