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?

Excerpt
Three:
“Parents have to step back when their kids are grown. That’s
just how it is.”
He’d never talked like this before. “Our roles change,” she
agreed, talking slowly, trying to figure out who this man was. She’d always
felt that their parenting styles blended perfectly. But looking back now she
could see that Wes had connected better with the girls when they were younger.
Their adolescent stage had confused him. And maybe he’d pulled back more than
she realized. “But they still need us.”
“Portia and Wren haven’t needed me since I taught them to
drive.”
“Why are you being so literal? You know being part of a
family is more than doing jobs for one another. Family provides our emotional
bedrock. None of us ever grow out of the need to be loved.”
“And I’ll never stop loving them,” Wes said, his voice
subdued once more.
The implication of his words hit her with another ferocious
stab of pain.
He’d never stop loving their daughters.
But he had stopped loving her.
