In this excerpt, my heroine has found a bottle of pain killer stolen from her clinic in the bathroom of the man she's fallen in love with. He's an ex-convict who works for her. This is her answer to the problem. This isn't edited so if you see anything give a yell.

A single sob burst from her throat. “Why didn’t you tell me you needed money? I would gladly have helped you. Or did you want it for yourself?” She hugged her middle and rocked back and forth. “You’re fired.”
Springing from the toilet, she darted back into the bedroom where she dressed in record time. As she strode past him, Caleb grabbed her arm.

Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors

Welcome to Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors, your chance to sample snippets from a wide variety of wonderful authors. My excerpt comes from a yet unnamed manuscript. In the story, my hero had a one night stand with another woman who eventually died of cancer. Her parents couldn't keep the boy, so they contacted his father who had known nothing about him. In this snippet, Rhett brings the boy home for the first time. Introductions have gone well, and this is when he meets his stepmother for the first time.

Rhett and Eric had reached her now. “Eric, this is your stepmother, Alex.”
A flare of panic contorted the child’s face. Had Rhett said something bad about her to the boy? She cleared her throat. “Hello, Eric, welcome home. It’s so nice to meet you.”

Eric mumbled something, but she didn’t catch it.
