GOOD TOGETHER
by CJ
Carmichael
BLURB:
Mattie,
the eldest of Marietta’s Carrigan girls, married rodeo cowboy, Wes Bishop,
right out of high school and raised twin daughters. A happy life, she thought,
but now that she’s in her late thirties and their daughters have left for
college, her husband has become strangely distant.
Then one
night Wes comes home late from a rodeo—with a stranger’s key in his pocket. He
won’t talk, but she knows something is wrong.
When her
worst fears are confirmed, the hits keep coming. It seems her husband is
determined to destroy everything she loves in this world. Thankfully she still
has her sisters, and her home on The Circle C Ranch. But more and more she
thinks, not of her roots in Marietta, but of her kind, dependable neighbour,
Nat Diamond. Over the years Nat has been a constant in her life, but only as a
friend. Is it possible the two of them could become more? But if Nat really
does have romantic feelings for her—as she suspects—why does he keep pulling
away?
Is there
something he needs to tell her?
EXCERPT:
She leaned her back against the
counter, sipping the hot coffee and eyeing her husband. He was looking at the
iPad again, as if her presence was nothing but an interruption. That was when
she noticed the key was no longer on the counter.
“I found a key on the floor by your
jacket this morning.”
Wes nodded, head still lowered.
“Yeah. Thanks.”
“So... what’s it for?”
Wes hesitated a moment before
answering. He seemed annoyed that she felt it necessary to ask the question and
he answered with exaggerated patience. “I crashed with the Wilkinson’s this
weekend. Peter gave me a key to their guest cabin and I forgot to return it.
I’ll put it in the mail later today.”
A wild impulse rose in her—a desire
to take his silly iPad and toss it into the garbage. What was he reading on
there that was so damn fascinating? After four days apart, was it so
unreasonable of her to expect to have a proper conversation with her husband?
