Good Sunday morning to you, my friends! Hope you’re all doing well. I’m getting closer to the finish line with Love Unleashed, which is set to release in the fall, but you lucky ducks get a backstage pass. 😉 Here’s the latest from my WIP!
Continuing from where we left off…
“Maybe someday, hon. You’re still pretty young yet and dogs are a lot of responsibility.”
“Yeah, I guess.”
“But in the meantime, you can stop in and visit us here whenever you want, okay?”
The girl’s frown instantly reversed. “Whenever I want?”
“You bet!” She took her hand again. “Now, we’d better get back out there so your daddy doesn’t get too lonely.”
***End of WWW post, but here’s a bit more!***
They made the short trek toward the main part of the store, but when they walked from behind the counter, Hannah drew up short. Kent stood with his back to them, broom in hand, and swept up the last remnants of the mess.
She hurried forward so she could relieve him of his impromptu duties. “Wow, thank you. You’re hired.”
He turned on his heel, a flush creeping across his cheeks like he felt guilty for stepping in, but she couldn’t have been more grateful. “When you have a kid, you get used to cleaning up messes.”
She nodded, reaching for the broom. “Same’s true with dogs.”
Here’s the blurb:
Hannah Barker has it all. A booming business, a fabulous group of girlfriends, and a loving and devoted housemate…with floppy ears and a wet nose. She doesn’t have time for romance. Or so she says.
Kent Clarkson is a single father on a mission to keep his daughter safe. But when the blonde bombshell he’s been butting heads with all summer proposes opening a dog park, Kent—who’s been once bitten and more than twice shy—goes on the offensive. Soon, it’s all-out war.
The whole town knows the chemistry between Hannah and Kent is off the leash, but can these two set aside their differences long enough to fall in love?
Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!
We’re just about finished with this scene, so we’ll wrap it up next week, then I’ll jump to another part of the book. Perhaps the first chapter. 🙂 So glad you’re all enjoying the story. I’m having lots of fun writing it! See you next week!

Enjoyed the snippet although she probably ought to have inserted the caveat that the little girl could visit anytime if it was ok with her Dad…nice of him to clean up the mess while he waited!
Good point! I’ll add that in. Thanks so much, Veronica! 🙂
What a helpful guy. I want someone like that.
😀 Don’t we all? Thanks for stopping by, Aurora!
They finally seem to have something in common–even if it is cleaning up messes! Maybe they’ll begin to warm up to each other now. Loved your snippet! Tweeted.
Exactly! Thank you for the tweet! I found you on there and did the same! 🙂
Common ground. Looks like things might be clicking into place! Great snippet, Jules.
Yes indeedy. 🙂 Thank you, my friend! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Kids and dogs . . . gotta love ’em!! Nice scene, Julie!
True that! Thank you, Nancy! 🙂
Love the interaction between her and the child. Cute. I love that he cleaned up while he waited. I want to hire him, too. lol
I’ll see if he’s willing to make the rounds. 😉 Thanks, Karen!
Ah, they’ve found a shared interest — messes on the floor! 😉
😀 No need to add that to their online dating profiles lol.
He seems like a great guy, helping out when he doesn’t have to. Definitely a keeper!
The perfect man, right? 😀 Thank you!
I like this guy already, and I love his name. 🙂
