Ten Sleep Dreaming Series Book 1
GySgt Jared Worrell wanted one
thing—to live and die a Marine. He’s made a good start at the first and come
close to the second more times than a man should. One call from his mother
changes all his plans, and he’s headed back to Ten Sleep, Wyoming. The Reserves
feed his need to be a Marine, but what does a man do the rest of the year in a
town so small it doesn’t even have one stoplight? His mom has the perfect
solution; Jared should use another talent and become the town chocolatier. He’s
just recovering from that bomb when she drops another…
Lucy Thomas fell in love with Ten
Sleep when her parents fulfilled their dreams of owning their own ranch. Now
Lucy is living her dream of photographing Wyoming from its landscape to its
people, but she’s never really felt a part of the small town where everyone has
known everyone else forever. Turning the doorknob to her friend’s house brings
her face to face with a man whose arms she’d love to call home. He’s a Marine,
cowboy, and chocolatier...how can a woman resist?
Coming home never tasted so sweet.
READ AN EXCERPT
“Claudia!” Lucy knocked and entered
the cabin as was her habit. What met her at the door was not Claudia Worrell.
He was what could make a woman’s panties melt with just a look. The man who
stood before her with a shocked look on his face, his hand frozen in a gesture
that said if she gave him two more seconds he would have opened the door and
this could have played out like a normal situation, was simply magnificent. His
black hair was cut high and tight, singling him out as Claudia’s Marine son,
and those gray eyes she always thought stunning on Claudia passed stunning and
went to breathtaking on him, but they weren’t warm and welcoming like
Claudia’s.
She scanned his body. Tall and lean
with corded muscle. He wasn’t all bulky, still his t-shirt and flannel shirt
stretched nicely across a broad chest.
“You must be Lucy.”
His hand dropped, and he took a
step back, allowing her to completely enter. Her eyes dropped down miles of
denim-clad legs to stocking feet. Oh boy, she was a sucker for a man who looked
hot in stocking feet.
“Are you Lucy?”
She cleared her throat and shut the
door. Her face grew hot, and she had to clear her throat again before she could
speak. “Yes.” That was some dialogue there, Lucy Thomas. Next time hit him with
a toughie like, no or maybe.
He extended a large, tanned hand.
“I’m Jared, Claudia’s son.”
Lucy took hold of his warm, rough
hand and sighed. “I know.” She held up the sack in her other hand. “I brought
cinnamon rolls.”
There went dazzling him with her
wit. His smile grew, and he nodded to the bag. “Thanks. All we have is leftover
chili for breakfast.”
“That actually sounds pretty good.”
Lucy relaxed as her brain began to function again. At least she was stringing
words together in a manner that made sense, and her essential tremors weren’t
rattling the sack.
When he chuckled and tugged her
hand with his in an effort to release his hand from her grip, she wished she
had a secret amulet and could turn back time. She released his hand with an
uneasy laugh.
“Sorry.”
“I’ve had worse things happen.
Mom’s still getting dressed. Let’s go through to the galley.”
Lucy finally came out of her daze
and handed him the sack so she could remove her coat, hat, and boots. She
hurried, noticing he was waiting for her. When she kicked off her second boot,
she smiled at him and led the way into the kitchen.
“Claudia said you haven’t been out
of the Marines long?”
She was afraid his back might snap
he stood so straight. “I am not out. I had to separate for a short time. After
four months, I successfully transitioned into the Reserves. Now, I’m here.”
“Well, I’d like to welcome you
home, Jared.”
“Really?” His mouth turned in a
wicked smile that, instead of turning her on, flipped the switch to off. “What
did you have in mind?”
Lucy felt hot all over, and a bit
po’d. “Just that. Welcome home.”
“Sorry, Luce. Bad joke and worse
timing.”
She didn’t know what to think of
the nickname except she liked it on his lips. “I think we both need to work on
our first impression skills. Me ogling you before even saying ‘hi’ might have
given the wrong impression.” She stuck out her hand. “Hello, my name is Lucy
Thomas, and I don’t make a habit of openly checking out every new man I meet.”
His laughter was rich and warm. He
accepted her offered hand. “Hi, Lucy, I’m Jared Worrell, and I don’t make a
habit of making suggestive remarks to a woman I just met, even if she ogled me
first.”
With a quick handshake, the tension
in the room dissipated like her breath in the cold air. “It wasn’t my intention
to pry into your homecoming either. I really just wanted to thank you for your
service not insult you.”
“None of that. We made a new start,
and you brought food. You’re now two for two. “
She opened her mouth, but shut it
as Claudia entered the room.
“Oh, I see you two have met.”
“Twice.” Jared winked at Lucy.
She ignored him and gave Claudia a
quick hug. “I brought cinnamon rolls. I heard chili, though, and might steal a
bowl if there’s some left.
“Plenty.” He grabbed a covered dish
out of the refrigerator. “I’ll give you fair warning, I might have just made
the world’s first eight alarm chili last night.”
“You made it?” Lucy brought down
two plates and a bowl. She handed a plate to Claudia.
“Yes, ma’am. I’m a man of many
talents.”
“One being chocolates.” Claudia
rummaged in the bakery’s sack for a large roll.
“Chocolates?”
He winced. “Yeah, Mom’s trying to
turn me into a chocolatier.”
“You already are one.”
Loading up her bowl with chili
that, just by the smell, let Lucy know he wasn’t kidding about the spice, he
met her gaze, one side of his mouth lifted in a half smile. “What do you
think?”
For some reason, she was honored he
asked her. “I think I’d have to try some of the chocolates first…you know…just
to make sure.”
Claudia reached into a box on the
table and handed her a truffle. Lucy took a bite and almost passed out from
pleasure as the perfect taste of fresh strawberry and dark chocolate hit her
taste buds. She’d never tasted a strawberry ganache that wasn’t too sweet, but
this one tasted exactly like biting into a strawberry. When she opened her eyes
it was to find two sets of gray eyes staring at her.
“Good, huh?” Claudia’s smile was
huge.
Lucy nodded and turned her
attention to Jared. “The best of the best.”
