Set up for this week: Jace tries to explain Emma, his six year old daughter's strange behavior... She believes JoBeth is destined to be her mother.
JoBeth's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit.
*********************************************************************************
"Emma had a dream last night about me finding a wife, and well..." he said, his voice trailing off and his big shoulders lifting in a shrug.
Dang it, anyway. Why did he have to look so sweet? "If'n you had a wife, she'd have a mother," she added, understanding perfectly and wishing she didn't.
He nodded and said, "Yep, she'd have a mother."
She pushed away from the bars and backed away until her legs felt the edge of the cot. "Guess you should explain to your daughter that some women aren't cut out to be mothers." She plopped down on the cot and scooted back until she could lean her head against the brick wall. She closed her eyes, believing the conversation was over, but Jace Kelly proved to be a talker.
"Are you one of those women who aren't cut out to be a mother, JoBeth?" he asked.
************************************************************************************
Oh JoBeth, you walked right into that one. lol What do you suppose her answer will be? Hope you enjoyed the snippet of WANTED.
Until next week, take care.

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.
