RELEASE DAY HAPPINESS & GIVEAWAY ~THE WIDOW'S CHOICE by HILDIE MCQUEEN

Comely widow Charlotte Kennedy is in over her head. Between running a huge ranch and keeping a cruel rancher at arms length, she doesn't need the added distraction of romance. 

Colter Valley calls to Rafe Preston, who decides to purchase land and settle there. When he accepts a temporary job at a beautiful widow's ranch, he has no idea how much it will impact his plans. 

Passion, deception and treachery, blend into a beautiful love story, set in 1860s Montana Territory. 

EXCERPT: 

 (She Noticed Him)

Charlie stood at the kitchen window looking toward the bunkhouse.  The men had gone there right after dinner, Joe following Rafe and Jerrick after they invited him to play cards.  Joe had taken to the two newcomers and they'd fallen into an easygoing rapport of sorts.

Both Rafe Preston and Jerrick Black were very handsome men.  It still astounded her to find so many good-looking men in one town. It was as if the beauty of the area attracted them. The local McKade men where a striking bunch, all of them with the same devilish green eyes and tall muscular build. 

Her thoughts returned to the new ranch hands.  They were as different in looks as night and day. Jerrick was blond with light eyes that caught attention.  He had a playful edge to him, as if always holding back from teasing. 

Rafe was the more serious of the two, seeming to measure his words before speaking.  With black hair and the darkest brown eyes, he made one take notice.  Taller than Jerrick, he shrunk a room when entering. Of the two, she took more notice of Rafe. Whenever his dark eyes met hers, it was as if he could see deep inside.  To the most intimate areas, she'd rather keep to herself.

"There's too much work to be done for daydreaming," Mary Ellen, Charlie's friend chided her with a soft smile on her lips. "You thinking about our new ranch hands? They are a handsome duo, aren't they?"

"Honestly, I barely noticed," Charlie lied and avoided looking at her friend who carried a cup of tea to the kitchen table.  The cool breeze blew in through the open windows helping air out the overheated kitchen. She glanced once again outside.  The sun's setting always gave a beautiful glow to the valley.
