Chapter Two  Sam Morgan stood at the opened gate of the corral, staring at the activity around him. Cowboys of every shape and size, older men with wisp of gray hair flying around their ears and younger men with old cowboy hats crammed a top their heads raced around the area. Excited young horses leaped up onto their hind legs and backed away from the approaching men, relaxing easily when one of the cowboys reached for their dangling reins. One beautiful black and white stallion stood like royalty in the center of the pen, ignoring the yelling voices around him. The animal firmed up as one of the younger cowboy's moved carefully toward him, and then side-stepped a few feet before the man snatched the trailing reins and led him into the barn. Winterwind was a credit to his linage. Even if the stallion ...

A free chapter. This is a rewrite of one of my once published romance novels. Originally, it was the fourth book in a five books series called The Sisters Callaway. Now, after a major change to the characters and story A Family for Sam is the first book in a three-book series I'm calling Home to Hendersonville. The second book will be a completely different story with one of the sisters, and the third will be Kayla's story. After revisions, of course. I've introduced that heroine in the first chapter here. Enjoy! A Family for Sam Chapter One   "I need you to take your shirt off, Mr. Wilson." Dr. Allison Anderson   glanced at the elderly man. Thank God he was the last scheduled patient.

Tentatively calling this book Without Trust. Chapter One A gaggle of children’s voices and laughter filtered through the chilly early morning air. Dr. Becca Greenlee leaned from the porch swing and looked across the street to her right. A big yellow school bus stopped at the foot of the drive and three noisy boys leaped into it. A few second later two quieter girls followed suit. The children’s very pregnant mother stood near the fence, waving goodbye. Five children, with one more on the way?

Why the hell was she still standing on the porch anyway? “Hi, Wolfe.” The pregnant lady yelled back. “Off to solve another case?” “If only.” Both of their laughs filled the ai...
