Blurb:
If up and coming realtor Holly Grant can buy Turnaround Farm for her client, her business will boom. Who says you have to have a man in your life to complete you? She’s fine as she is thank you very much. Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen. 

Excerpt: Chapter One
Last week

Loretta broke the spell that had fallen on the kitchen.“Holly, I can’t get a tow truck to come out. They’re all busy on other calls. They told me since we found shelter, we should stay put for the night.”

“You’re both welcome to stay with us,” Jeb said.

The look of alarm on Dan’s face tickled Jeb. “Gramps, I don’t really think we have the proper accommodations for them. I’ll take them home.”

Jeb frowned. “I don’t think so.

This Week: We begin where we left off last week. 

If the weather is that bad, I don’t want you out on the roads. I’m not willing to have anything happen to you just so these ladies can sleep in their own beds tonight. I’m sure we can make them comfortable.”

 Dan looked ready to argue, but Holly didn’t give him a chance. “Thanks, Mr. Wakefield. We’d be happy to accept your hospitality. Maybe we can talk about my client’s new offer.”

 Holly’s ready acceptance amused Jeb as much as Loretta’s feeble protestations. “We’ll see, but right now, Dan and I have to check on one of the horses. There’s plenty of stew and biscuits left so why don’t you and Miss Patterson sit down and have some dinner while Dan and I finish up outside?”

    I think Jeb is being practical (but I also wonder if he's doing a bit of matchmaking for his grandson). Enjoyed the excerpt, quite the situation they're all in.

    I think Jeb is playing matchmaker and having a great time of it. If only Dan and Holly will get on board! Great snippet!

    You've done a wonderful job with this scene. All four characters have their own personalities and points of view, and that's quite a juggling act.

    Looks like Dan's the only one putting up a fight. I'm not sure he knows exactly what he's fighting against . . . yet. Maybe attraction?
