Supper’s Ready! WANTED #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday @RebeccaJVickery
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
We're continuing from where we left off last week. If you're interested, here's the link to last weeks snippet from WANTED:
Set up for this week: We're jumping ahead a few paragraphs in this snippet. JoBeth is behind bars and was asleep, but Jace woke her up. It's late and he wants to go home for supper. He opens the cell door, but then halts when he realizes JoBeth seems frightened...
Jace Kelly's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit. 
*********************************************************************************
"Aren't you hungry?" he asked carefully. Her defensive stance made him wonder what abuse she'd endured at the hands of the deputies who brought her here.
Her brows drew together and she licked her lips before her eyes hardened with suspicion. "I don't see no tray with you."
"Well, no ma'am, I don't suppose you do. Supper is waiting for us back at the house."
"Your house?" she asked in disbelief.
Her look of surprise almost made him chuckle again, but then he realized this woman, this outlaw hadn't been treated with kindness. Of course she'd be suspicious of his actions. "I don't see the sense in traipsing all the way to my house and bringing you back your supper later when it tastes a whole lot better when it's nice and hot."

Jace wants to take her home for supper. Find out next week what JoBeth thinks of that. 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.
