The Sheriff's Baby Bargain
by Susan Lute
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Small Town Cozy Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
She's just what the doctor ordered... but never knew he needed
U.S.
Marshal-turned-Sheriff Taylor James can trace her family back to the original
thirteen Marshals appointed by George Washington. She's good at her job, but
once they find out she's the local law, she can't get even one of her dates to
stay past the appetizers. Her plan? Convince good friend and hot neighbor Dr.
Gabriel Adams to give her dating lessons since his dance card is always full.
A
survivor of childhood leukemia with no guarantee his remission will last, Gabe
lives by two rules: Don't get emotionally involved and don't let his well
organized life spiral out of control. When he's given a baby, with his name on
her birth certificate, he needs Taylor's help. But dangling dating lessons in
exchange? If that will get the dedicated sheriff to lend a helping hand, could
it be a bargain worth making?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT THREE:
“You’d
make a great mother.” The words were out before he could stop them.
She
straightened with a sputtered laugh. “I don’t think so. My mother wasn’t a good
role model. The one thing I learned from her was, if I’m ever lucky enough to
have a child of my own, I’ll never walk away. No matter what the reason. You
have more experience with babies in your little pinky than I’ve had my entire
life.”
Who
would have guessed an insecure little girl lived in Taylor’s past? As her
friend, he should have known, but she would body slam him if he showed even an
ampule of sympathy.
He
asked, “What is it you need?” When she stared at him, her expression blank, he
clarified. “The favor you mentioned.”
She
suddenly stood as though her pants were on fire. “Shoot! I’m going to be late
for work. Gotta go.”
As
he watched her walk away, Gabe tried to remember he had no right to feel like
he’d just let something important go. He’d made a life for himself that worked,
and there was no question in his mind that he had to stick with the rules he’d
set.
Gathering
their empty cups, he left the remains of their coffee in a tall metal dish rack
in the corner by the kitchen. Whether he liked it or not, he’d accomplished his
mission.
His
friendship with Taylor James remained intact. As it should be. But that pesky
voice in his head wouldn’t be silenced.
Is
that what you really want?

Susan ~ Good morning! Welcome to FAB! It is so great to have you here! Congrats on your new book and good luck on the book tour! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ally. I'm so glad to be here. Thank you for hosting.
DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any ideas for your next book?
ReplyDeleteHi Bernie. Great question! The third book in the Angel Point romances, The Christmas Makeover, is coming out in October 2020. It was a super fun book to write, and I hope you'll love it as much as I do. Currently, I'm working on a new series, small town cozy romances set in the Oregon river town of Wade Creek. Think hero and heroine and four octogenarians, members of the Sunnybrook book club, and one every exciting tea room.
DeleteHello! Thanks so much for sharing your book with us. Always fun reading about another book to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI liked the excerpt.
ReplyDeleteSusan, What do you want readers to take away from you stories?
ReplyDeleteHi Caryl. Thanks for this question. I know it sounds kind of cheesy, but I hope the takeaway from all my books is that we should be the ones to write our own stories; that love is a real thing; and that the journey is worth taking.
DeleteI love romance books that include babies. Looks like a wonderful read!
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover, it's so sweet
ReplyDeleteVery nice
