GOOD TOGETHER

BLURB:
Mattie,
the eldest of Marietta’s Carrigan girls, married rodeo cowboy, Wes Bishop,
right out of high school and raised twin daughters. A happy life, she thought,
but now that she’s in her late thirties and their daughters have left for
college, her husband has become strangely distant.
Then one night Wes
comes home late from a rodeo—with a stranger’s key in his pocket. He won’t
talk, but she knows something is wrong.
When her worst fears
are confirmed, the hits keep coming. It seems her husband is determined to
destroy everything she loves in this world. Thankfully she still has her
sisters, and her home on The Circle C Ranch. But more and more she thinks, not
of her roots in Marietta, but of her kind, dependable neighbour, Nat Diamond.
Over the years Nat has been a constant in her life, but only as a friend. Is it
possible the two of them could become more? But if Nat really does have
romantic feelings for her—as she suspects—why does he keep pulling away?
Is there something he
needs to tell her?

She leaned her back against the counter, sipping the hot
coffee and eyeing her husband. He was looking at the iPad again, as if her
presence was nothing but an interruption. That was when she noticed the key was
no longer on the counter.
“I found a key on the floor by your jacket this morning.”
Wes nodded, head still lowered. “Yeah. Thanks.”
“So... what’s it for?”
Wes hesitated a moment before answering. He seemed annoyed
that she felt it necessary to ask the question and he answered with exaggerated
patience. “I crashed with the Wilkinson’s this weekend. Peter gave me a key to
their guest cabin and I forgot to return it. I’ll put it in the mail later
today.”
A wild impulse rose in her—a desire to take his silly iPad
and toss it into the garbage. What was he reading on there that was so damn
fascinating? After four days apart, was it so unreasonable of her to expect to
have a proper conversation with her husband?
