Small excerpt from SPARE HEARTS: As she pulled into her narrow gravel driveway, Candy decided, with a deep sigh, what was done, was done. She didn’t want everyone in the town knowing, but she’d be stupid not to enjoy the rest of her time with this cowboy. Have fun, then send him off at the end of the month with a sweet kiss and a good luck wish. Sterling held the door open for her. “Quiet out here.” “Sure is. Too quiet.” Candy set her stuff down inside on the little table when they entered and walked toward the kitchen. “Scrambled or fried?” “Scrambled works just fine, thank you kindly. Nice place you got yourself here.” “Thanks. It’s small, and as much as I’d love to get outta here, it’s home.” It was a little strange, but kind of exciting, having a man in her home again. There hadn’t been since Jared had left her. Candy shook her head to clear the thoughts of her ex away and set to cooking them a meal. She sure didn’t need her mood spoiled with thoughts of Jared. “Can I help? I’m pretty good in the kitchen.” Shit fire and save the matches, could the man get any more perfect? Handsome as could be, great body, fantastic lover, and he cooked? Candy frowned and rubbed her forehead as her mind raced in circles trying to make sense of how this man had ended up in her life. Coming up short, Candy looked over at him. “Where in the hell did you come from?” “Uh… Las Cruces?” Stepping toward the cabinets, he opened one of the doors. “Plates up in here?” “Not exactly what I meant.” She sighed and opened the correct cabinet for him. “Oookay. What did you mean then?” Candy shook her head at his innocent expression. Did he really not get it? And the look on his face made him all the more appealing. “Never mind me, I’m just tired.” She hooked her thumbs in her back pockets. “This is about done. Could you dish it up? I’m gonna change into some jammies, if you don’t mind.” “Not at all. You go right ahead, I got this.” He leaned and kissed her cheek. Damn, this had to be some sort of cruel joke. Did God just plop this man in her lap only for him to be gone in less than a month? Figures. Hopelessness settled hard like a boulder in Candy’s gut as she pulled off her clothes and grabbed a pair of pink yoga pants and a fitted tank top. Enjoy him while I got him, remember? Pulling her long hair up into a ponytail, she scurried back out to the kitchen. Check out SPARE HEARTS: amzn.to/159sTdI
