EXCERPT
Morgan Blake took one
more sip of her wine before placing the glass back on the silver tray. She
looked out across the five-thousand-acre ranch from her seat on the veranda,
but her view was suddenly obstructed by two strong hands covering her eyes.
“I’ve got another
surprise for you,” Seth purred in her ear.
Another surprise?
They’d only been in Texas
for six hours but she’d taken a tour of the Twelve Horse Shoes ranch, met
Seth’s mom, Teri-Lyn, and got her first riding lesson on her new horse, Reed’s
Fire. Then Seth had suggested they stay for the rest of the week. What more
could he give her?
“Will it be better
than finding out the ranch hand I was talking to earlier was actually your
mother?”
“Don’t worry, you’re
gonna like it,” he drawled, as he led her into the bathroom. Candles surrounded
a huge claw foot bathtub that sat in the middle of the room, filled with
bubbles and rose petals.
“Want to take a bubble
bath with your husband? Take your mind off lunch with momma tomorrow?”
“Only if you wear the
hat.” The minute she had seen him wearing that Stetson on the ranch, her heart
had skipped a beat.
“Yes, ma’am.”
