“So what’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?”
Maddie laughed. It should have sounded old, trite, and corny, but nothing said in that drawl could sound anything but enchanting. Her laughter lit something deep in Mr. East Texas’s dark eyes. She suddenly felt warm. Sitting-in-front-of-a-fire-on-a-cold-winter-night warm. The flutter in her heart moved into the pit of her stomach.
“Don’t tell the bartender, but I’m casing the place to see if I want his job,” she said.
The bartender's eyebrows rose, but he didn’t comment. He’d no doubt seen this dance often enough.
I've reissued the book and it's available on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Kobo, and Itunes. A few other places are scheduled so if you have another favorite online retailer, it might be showing up there soon.
