#TeaserTuesday: quick peek at The Texan’s Little Secret

For today’s Teaser Tuesday, here’s a snippet of conversation between Luke and Carly. After a stormy breakup a few years earlier, they’ve just met each other again at her dad’s ranch.

“You’ve come a long way.” If he picked up on the added meaning behind her words, he didn’t show it. Anger at his reminder of their past couldn’t quite overcome the hurt. Still, she managed to keep her voice smooth. Mellow. “I hear you’re ranch manager now. Daddy’s right-hand man. You finally made the connection and landed the job you’d always wanted.”

He got that message, all right. His jaw hardened, and his chest rose with a deep breath, as if he’d had to summon his patience the way she’d called on her wild-child role.

What did he expect—that she would have forgotten the way he’d tried to use her to get a job on her dad’s ranch?

“Maybe I had other reasons for showing up that day, besides the job.”

“What reasons? Trying to win me over?” She laughed without humor. “Why bother, when you already had me where you wanted me?”

Hope you enjoyed the teaser!
