Happily Ever After isn’t for JoBeth. 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 third snippet from WANTED:
Set up for this week: JoBeth just told Sheriff Jace Kelly, he was a little touched in the head. Read on to find out his response...
JoBeth's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit. 
*********************************************************************************
His sure steps took him to his desk, where he took a seat and reached for his paperwork. "I think if you get to know us, you'll find we're a pretty likable bunch," he said with a chuckle, not in the least bit offended.
She had a hunch there were wanted posters on his desk, and there was probably one for her and Maverick: Reward, Dead or Alive... Their posters never contained photographs, since she and Maverick never sat for a photo, but there were sketches. Not precisely a correct rendition of their likeness, but in the past that proved a benefit in their favor. Now, the authorities knew what she looked like, and she'd have to change her appearance once she escaped.
Sheriff Jace Kelly and his family might be likable, but she wouldn't be here long enough to find out. Good riddance too. She didn't need their fairytale existence clouding her judgment. She knew what awaited her outside of these bars, and it had nothing to do with living happily-ever-after.
************************************************************************************
JoBeth wants to escape, but what will she truly be running from? 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.
