The Excerpt
WILD TEXAS BRIDE, Dana Ransom, Texas series Book 3
“H-howdy, Mr. Bass. This ain’t what it looks like.”
“You trying to tell me I can’t trust what I’m seeing with my own eyes? Is that my niece? Are them your britches she’s got her hand tucked into?”
Billy glanced down in surprise to find that Sarah had indeed nudged her hand under the band of his denims, her palm resting against the flat of his abdomen for warmth. He gripped her wrist and removed her damning touch. Hell, the man might as well have come upon them naked! There was no reasoning with the cold circle of metal pressed into his throat or the cold blue steel of Harm Bass’s gaze as it pinned him to the ground.
“I’m William T. Cooper, sir. I ride with Jack and the rangers.”
“I know who you are. What I want to know is what you’re doing with my niece.”
“Nothing.”
The hammer clicked back on Harm’s carbine. “Try again.”
( . . . and a bit more . . .)
That was it. Billy had had enough. One hell of a day behind him and a short future staring him in the eye. What did he have to lose? He’d probably feel a whole lot better if Harm Bass blew his fool head off!
“Less you’re gonna shoot me right now, get that thing outta my face. I haven’t had so much as a cup of coffee, and I’m in no mood to argue with Sarah’s relatives over what’s none of their business.”
Harm’s eyes narrowed int flinty slits. “Come again?”
Billy sat up, refusing to go to his Maker flat on his back and begging. “You can shoot me now, or we can just wait around and let some of my friends finish the job they started.”
Great teaser to introduce us to this book. Loved it!
