Whoop! I finally got this story ready for Amazon and it's uploaded. Hopefully, readers will be able to access it by tomorrow. Yippee. That said, here's the blurb and a short excerpt.
Blurb
Blacksmith, Galin Walker has an uncanny knack for predicting
the weather, but he can’t predict the storm about to invade his heart.
Telegrapher, Aubrey Caine’s search for her absent husband leads her straight
into the arms of a man with a shady past and secrets that haunt him. Together
they forge a bond that will endure the forces of nature and a con man’s cruel
swindle.
Excerpt
His hand reached
for her hat and came back clutching a twig. “Do you always wear hats like
that?”
“Like what?”
“Like nature
stirred up a hornet’s nest.” His voice softened in a way that sent awareness
skittering along every nerve cell. “The artist that conjured that monstrosity
ought to be shot. At the very least, tarred and feathered.”
She took a step
back, thinking she should be angry at his rudeness, but the heated look he gave
her said something entirely different. Whoever tore her place apart wasn’t
Galin. He might be many things, but dishonest wasn’t one of them. She’d have to
look elsewhere for the culprit. She even doubted his ability to steal. “Perhaps
you best finish my grinder.”
“You have
secrets. So do I.”
The subject had
come back to Spencer. Should she tell him about Thad now? Sooner or later,
she’d have to confide in the man if she hoped to get her son back.
“I don’t have
time for you to analyze my nature. I’m due at the depot in an hour. If you
could just …”
“Come back in
half an hour.”
“I’d rather
wait.”
“I’d rather you
didn’t. Miss Caine, you’re a distraction I can’t afford.” His large hands
spanned her waist as he turned her from him. His warmth soaked through to her
skin and caused heat to rise to her cheeks.
“A distraction?”
He bent his head
behind her left ear. “You tempt me to want to kiss you. Neither of us wants
that, now do we?”
We don’t? “I don’t like your forwardness, sir.”
“Nor do I. Go
before I do something we’ll both regret.” He pushed her gently from him.
Incensed by his coarse ways, she hurried
away, but regret dogged her steps. If she’d been a stronger woman, she’d have
stayed to tempt his ardor.
