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
Jeb beamed at him. “Good man. Miss Grant, have you ever ridden?”

“Please, call me Holly. No, sir, I’ve never ridden, but it looks like a lot of fun.”

“I’m sure Dan would be delighted to give you some lessons.”

“We’ll see. I’m pretty busy with work,” Holly demurred.

“You can let us know. Dan, do you think you can find these ladies something warm to sleep in?”


This Week: We pick up where we left off. Holly speaks first.

The shocked look on Dan’s face almost made Holly laugh; no women lived at Turnaround Farm, so women’s clothing was probably a mystery to him.

 “How about sweat suits and athletic socks?” he asked. “That’s all I can think of.”

 “Sweat suits are perfect,” Holly declared with a big smile for him. No use to alienate Dan any more than necessary.

 Dan went to find the sweat suits and soon returned with two sets of clothing and handed them to his grandfather who gave a set to her and Loretta. She didn’t mind sleeping in Dan’s clothes, but Loretta didn’t look too happy about it. She probably wouldn’t have minded if the clothes belonged to Michael.

“We only have one bedroom suitable for guests,” Jeb said, “so I hope you two don’t mind sharing a room."

 “We don’t mind at all,” Loretta broke in. “Holly and I have some things to discuss.”

    That last line takes the scene and flips it upside down so it's mysterious.

    At least they don't have to sleep in the barn! Can't wait to listen in on their conversation!

    Hmm, wonder what that conversation is going to entail? I'd think there was quite a lot to talk about on several different subjects!

    Well they are roughing it a bit here but as Nancy said, at least no one expects them to sleep in the barn! Fun snippet...

    Like the others, I'm curious what they will talk about. Good suspense.
