Fake Marriage with a Dash of Desire, my western novella, featured in Hot Western Nights.
This is in Nash’s POV.

She closed the door slowly so not to make a sound then looked around the room as if trying to decide what dark corner would suit her best to hide. Then, without so much as a howdy-do, she started taking off her clothes. He sat up straighter in bed. He almost wanted to pinch himself to make sure he was, indeed, awake.
“What are you doing, Little Miss?” Lulu’s eyes nearly bulged out of her head. He was glad he wasn’t the only one seeing this.
“What does it look like?” She continued to throw off each article of clothing without a care that a half-clad man sat on the bed watching her.
Nash concluded the gal must not be one of Maribel’s girls by the way Lulu fussed, though she definitely had potential.

Might be nice if she’d asked them to help her before she just started undressing! She’s a perplexing character at this point, for sure. But she’s keeping everyone’s interest…great snippet!
I can think of one way this might be going–an under cover disguise of sorts perhaps. 🙂 But it definitely has my attention! Great snippet!
She’s brazen and he’s enjoying the sights. What’s next?
Now this is what I call a ‘meet cute’!
I think the question they needed wasn’t “What” but “Why”
I love the tone of this! It’s like I can hear his voice in my head.
Love how she’s brazening it out. I’m sure he’s happy. But why did she pick his room? Happenstance or on purpose? Can’t wait to read more.
Haha! What are you doing, little miss? Well, what else could he say? lol Great snippet, Karen!
