The Big Bad Outlaw…WANTED #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday @KMNbooks
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
We're continuing from where we left off last week. If you're interested, here's the link to the first snippet from WANTED:
Set up for this week: JoBeth (outlaw) is behind bars and has just met the sheriff's six year old daughter. Emma innocently asked JoBeth if she's really capable of slinking through the bars because she'd really like to see that. Of course JoBeth's claim was a sarcastic response to the way she believed they all judged her. At first JoBeth is put back at how innocent the child is to believe such a thing possible, but then she hardens her heart and goes with dangerous act.
JoBeth's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit. 
*********************************************************************************
Her steps took her to the bars where she outstretched her hand through one of the slots. "Come here, child, and let's give it a try, shall we?" Her lips curved into a smile.
Emma only took a step before her father's hand flew out and snagged the child by the cuff of her jacket, bringing her back to safety. "You go home with Mrs. Gunthry, Emma. I'll be along later."
"Oh, Papa..." she whined, but Mrs. Gunthry took hold of the little girl's hand and ushered her out of the office, ignoring Emma's complaints. "But I don't want to go home," Emma said, "I want to chat with…"
Emma's voice trailed off until she could only make out a murmuring sound of conversation as Mrs. Gunthry hurried the child away from the big bad outlaw. Good riddance, JoBeth thought.
************************************************************************************
She doesn't need a starry-eyed child playing havoc with her emotions...or so she believes. lol 
Hope you enjoyed the snippet of WANTED.
Until next week, take care.
About the Book:Sheriff Jace Kelly's wife died birthing his remarkable daughter, Emma. She inherited the families' seer abilities. At six years old, she can't tell the difference between a vision and an ordinary dream. So Jace doesn't put much faith in Emma's recent premonition: marriage for him and a new mother for her.
When JoBeth Riley arrives, Emma is convinced she's the woman in her dream: dark hair, green eyes, and shamrocks in her pocket. There's one problem – she's the notorious outlaw, Baby Face Jo. Her stay in town is meant to keep Shane Maverick, the leader of the outlaw gang, from finding her before the authorities devise a plan to capture him.
JoBeth finds the Kellys a strange lot. A little girl, who believes her dreams are tales of the future and the rugged sheriff whose kindness proves a distraction. She's an outlaw, for heaven's sake, but Jace is bound and determined to steal her heart.
