The MacBrides: Logan and RJ

by J.L. Petersen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Logan, the eldest of the MacBride clan, is thrilled at his brother Clay’s pending nuptials to Sandy. But when Sandy’s sister RJ arrives at the family’s ranch, Logan’s world is turned upside down. However, the sisters’ shared past has created scars and barriers against love testing Logan’s ability to push aside his need and patience to win RJ’s trust and ultimately her unwavering love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT TWO:

Logan studied the woman. He’d bet his favorite horse she thought she was portraying herself as stoic. All he saw was a woman on the verge of breaking. Remorse filled him. He jumped in thinking he knew where the trouble was as he had done with virtually all his siblings since their father died. Now he wasn’t so sure he had approached this situation right. Straightening, he rubbed the back of his neck and tried again.

“Look, I may have jumped the gun a bit. There’s obviously something wrong that has both of you in tears. Can’t I help?”

Frowning at his words, RJ tried to determine if the man was playing her. She’d been burned before by family trying to manipulate her with caring to get what they wanted. Studying him, she captured his image as she would one of her pictures. Studying it for all the nuances not readily seen. Tall, lean with a broad chest, he stood with an ease many would envy. His hair was mostly covered by his cowboy hat, but black locks escaped at the back of his neck. His face was all angles with sharp cheekbones, strong forehead and a nose that looked like it had been broken along the way. His lips were firm and his eyes deep blue.

The eyes held her. There seemed to be sincerity in them but something else was pulling at her. When her mind grasped what that was, she sucked in her breath. Want. And, as if he realized she saw his wanting her, his eyes narrowed and became more intense. She pulled her gaze away quickly, and once again, turned towards the balcony doors. Gathering herself from the shock of his wanting her, she realized her body was tingling. Not good.

“I appreciate the offer, but it’s not something I want to discuss with a stranger.”

Logan was stunned to know she saw his desire for her. It only seemed to heighten his need to grab her and hold tight. When she spoke, he knew he needed a bit of space to process what was happening to him. “I can appreciate that. But don’t be hasty about leaving. Why don’t you join us at the ranch for dinner tonight? If you come about four, you and Sandy can have some private time to talk.”

GUEST POST:

Who Inspired My Love for Books

I’m not sure one person in particular inspired my love of books. My mom always made sure I had books as a child and especially as a pre-teen/teenager. I found books as a way of providing me with entertainment when I had no other forms. I’m an air force brat and there were many times during a relocation I had no friends. As I worked to cultivate friends in the neighborhood or school, I had my books to keep me entertained. I migrated to YA type romance in my teens to Harlequin and the like in my college years.

When it came to writing, from an early age, I would imagine being the heroine in those stories. Eventually, I would find myself starting to think about the storyline while lying in bed and rework them a bit.  I actually got to the point that I would fall asleep building whole stories in my head and I would try to write those stories down.

I married straight from college and relocated to Colorado, following my husband to his new job. Once again, books helped me through those first months of not knowing anyone. I worked at writing stories during my free time but never quite seriously. As life would have it job, career success, kids etc. took over and writing was put to the side. But a few years ago, I was involved in a self-discover weekend with some girlfriends where writing surfaced many times. It was if the place I was in in my life and my buried passions finally came together and presented the opportunity. From there, I challenged myself to actually take the time to complete a book. Now, I just published my fourth book.

I love this place I’m at in my life. The ability to be fearless in writing my stories and putting them out there for others to, hopefully, enjoy. It’s a wonderful feeling.
