Welcome to Saturday Spankings, today is a special day for me – my new
cover reveal for Cassie’s Corralled,
which will be out very soon. I think this cover is classy and Cassie would definitely
approve!
Shorty before today’s snippet begins, Cassie spent some time with friends
she’d met on line. After the fact, she realized that Tom would probably not
approve.
“Honey,
you went to town yesterday, who did you say you had lunch with?” Tom asked.
It wasn’t an inquisition, simply conversational, but I was quickly uncomfortable.
As I look
back on everything now how much trouble and worry could I have saved everyone
if I had just lied and given him the name of a friend in town. For better or
worse, I’m afraid Tom has trained me better than that. I don’t mind omitting
things, even misleading occasionally, but I can’t look Tom right in the eye and
lie to him. I did, however, try to keep it light and casual.
“I ate
with Kat and Natalie, I don’t think you know them,” I answered as innocently as
I could, and nearly in the same breath I asked, “Allie, do you have to go back
tonight or can you wait and go back in the morning?” Unfortunately, I’m married
to a bloodhound and he had caught the faintest scent of avoidance.

Hi PK, absolutely love the cover. All of the Cassie covers are simply beautiful and I agree, this one is classy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome snippet, Kat and Natalie...love it:) Love her avoidance tactic trying to get Allie to stay. Made me giggle. Always enjoy Cassie's antics :)

Cassie would much rather ease around Tom than have him come at her head on. Sadly it doesn't always work.
DeleteHmm. I wonder if it's the same Kat and Natalie I met through another author's books. A mutual friend? Great snippet. Not sure how Cassie and Tom are going to resolve this issue.
ReplyDeleteIt surely is the very same two! Ana tells about this meeting in her book, Lighting the Way. And now you can find out about the aftermath of this meeting.
DeleteBeautiful cover, and I loved this excerpt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, Cassie's going to evade as long as possible.
DeleteBeautiful cover - great excerpt.
ReplyDeleteYep, I was very pleased with the cover.
DeleteNever lie to them, it will only make things worse when they find out and they always seem to find out. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteYou said it Darcie! Truer words never spoken!
