Due to technical difficulties – as in, my main computer died again (sigh) – this is a reprise of an earlier Teaser Tuesday clip.  Enjoy!

Cole Slater’s finally back in town, and the last thing Tina wants is for him to get close to her – or to the secret she’s hiding….

She should have known better than to fall for Cole Slater.

At the tender age of seven, she had already heard about his reputation as a sweet-talker. By junior high, he had progressed to a real player. And by senior high, he had turned  love-’em-and-leave-’em into an art form, changing girlfriends as often as she replaced guest towels here at the Hitching Post.

Too bad she hadn’t remembered all that when he had finally turned his attention her way.

He shoved his hands into his back pockets, which pulled his shirt taut against his chest. Now, she felt herself flushing as she recalled the one and only time—

No, she wasn’t going there. And he wasn’t staying here. “You must have made a wrong turn somewhere. I suggest you find your vehicle, wherever you might have left it—”

“I parked near the barn—”

“—and be on your way.”

“—and to answer your question, I came to see Jed.”

“What for?”

“He invited me.”

“Then I assume you’ve seen him already and, as I said, you can be on your way.”

He shook his head.  “You and I need to have something out first.”
