Take A Chance on Love
by Christi Williams
When
Chancie de Leur meets highway patrol trooper Micah Taylor one frosty
Wyoming night, instant sexual heat kindles between them. Chancie’s a
lonely young widow who owns her own business and Micah is divorced, so
there shouldn’t be anything holding them back. But Micah wonders if
Chancie’s obvious wealth might become an issue, or the fact that she’s
apparently the second woman in his life who has zero interest in ever
having his baby.
Micah has no idea of the real problem between him and Chancie, until he meets her son. Ten-year-old Jamie de Leur is determined to break up his mom and her lawman, and Micah questions whether any relationship with Chancie is worth dealing with the spoiled kid she’s raising.
In a showdown over Jamie breaking the law, Micah has to decide if he wants to be Chancie’s cop—or her family man.

Excerpt
Chancie waited in her car in the parking
lot alongside the Inn as the engine cooled and the windows began to ice over.
The lights from the restaurant windows glowed, and inside she could see a lone
server and the heads of two customers in a booth directly in front of her. She
checked her phone once more for the time. Could Micah have gotten past her
somehow and already be inside, waiting?
She reached for the ignition to warm up the
car, but waited as a battered four-wheel-drive truck pulled up next to her. She
rubbed a spot clear in the freezing steam on the car window so she could see. A
cowboy hat emerged from the pickup; the door slammed. A man in a dun leather
coat rounded the front of the truck, halted, and tried to peer into the fogged
front windshield of her car. Chancie hesitated. Was it Micah? He was tall
enough, and sinewy enough, but she could see nothing of the man’s features in
the shadow of his hat brim and through the ice crystals already re-forming on
the windshield.
He walked between the two vehicles, leaned
to tap on her side window. Chancie couldn’t get the power window down without
turning on the ignition, so she hesitantly cracked the door open, ready to slam
it shut again if the man were a stranger.
Micah’s friendly smile greeted her. “Hello,
Chancie,” he said, his voice soft as a caress. He grasped the door handle,
pulling the door open for her.
She swung her legs out and stood. Micah
shut the door then paused, looking at her. “You showed up after all,” he said.
Chancie put her gloved hands in her coat
pockets. “Did you think I wouldn’t?”
“I wasn’t sure. You had second thoughts
about it, didn’t you?”
About the Author
My fiction is contemporary, so the settings and the
characters are completely modern and struggle with today’s issues. But the men
and women in my writing leave a big footprint, because their personalities and
their solutions to problems hark back to the iconic days which really don’t
exist anymore. My characters truly live by the Code of the West.
Christi Williams writes contemporary sensual romance set
in Wyoming. My strong heroines love cowboys and lawmen!
