This week I’m sharing the beginning of my novel, Reckless Rescue, due out in November.

Marlee heard boots stomping mud off on the rush mat outside the door, and drew in a shaky breath, trying to calm the sobs. She scrubbed hastily at her eyes with her apron as she jumped off the end of the bed and started pulling the patchwork quilt up, hidden from the front door by the corner of the room.
“Six eggs today Marlee,” Nelor called out cheerily, as he closed the door behind him. “Looks like keeping lanterns lit in the barn overnight is really making a difference. We just might eat eggs this winter after all.” Marlee heard him carefully placing eggs in the basket on the table.
Ooh, a very interesting beginning! I definitely want to know why Marlee is crying!
Thanks Madison. I’m thinking of posting a few consecutive snips, so if you come back next week, you might get a chance to find out.
Great six Rinelle. Certainly captured my attention and I would definitely read on.
Thanks Samantha!
