Happy Holidays to authors and readers and anyone else who wanders in. Today, I’m sharing another snippet from my erotic historical western, Cur. I introduced my hero, Cur Villalobos last week here. This week I’m moving ahead in the story with a scene from my heroine’s POV—meet Sara.

“Well, that’s that, it’s done, he’s coming back with a preacher tomorrow morning,” Sara told her mother.

“He’s an awfully big man,” Harriet Conner offered hesitantly, wearing the same bewildered expression she’d worn since her husband’s death.

“Yes,” Sara agreed, not knowing what else to say; Cur Villalobos was taller than six feet, with wide, muscled shoulders that made him seem even bigger. He’d been polite when he proposed, clearly more interested in the river behind her than in the woman he had to marry to control it.

“I only hope he stocks a full larder,” Sara said grimly and unfolded her apron, brushing the dead leaves from the fruit she’d been lucky to find for their meal.

“You know Sara,” Harriet said uneasily, “a man has needs.”

“So do we,” she muttered and paused to swallow a blackberry, savoring the tangy flavor as she tried to satisfy her raging hunger with the meager offering. “We need to eat.”
