Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors!
I’m still keeping you all intrigued with the beginning of the series [amazon_link id=”B00BEMN5SC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Changing Tracks (The Dominion Falls Series book 1)[/amazon_link].
Continuing just a few paragraphs away from last week when Cole all but admitted his jealousy…we come back to him and Jane. Here Cole admits that he doesn’t know what he’s doing attempting anything close to a relationship:
“Jane.” The full length of him pressed into her back, his hands grasping her elbows in a firm but gentle hold. “I don’t know how.”
“How to what?” She remained still during his silence to give him time to come up with anything. Part of her hoped he’d admit the weakness, the rest of her feared he’d retaliate with a sarcastic answer. No answer came, which comforted her fear enough that she relaxed back against him. She set her hand on his, “I noticed.”
*Next week will follow this up, because the rest needs to be said and seen 😉

We come upon Jane, my amnesiac with the eidetic memory, and Cole…who is feeling a little jealous thanks to rumors the town is spreading around about her visits to the army camp and a certain Major Webb:
“Are you still jealous?”
“You bedded him yet?”
“No.” Hands on her hips, she lifted her chin in defiance, “I haven’t even been to bed with you and you are in my room at all sorts of inappropriate hours.”
“And you’re at the army camp at inappropriate hours too.”
“So you are jealous, good to know.”
He narrowed his eyes, his fists clenching tight until the muscles of his arms showed through his tight sleeves; a harrumph redirected her attention back to his frowning lips, “Wonder if you’ve always been this difficult.”
“Long as I can remember.”
*Creative editing employed to make this fit the 8…but I had to include that last line.

I’m still keeping you all intrigued with the beginning of the series [amazon_link id=”B00BEMN5SC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Changing Tracks (The Dominion Falls Series book 1)[/amazon_link].
During the chaos of Jane’s life and the mystery behind her amnesia and the life she left behind, the town of Dominion Falls is embroiled in a bitter battle with renegade Indians over the line of railroad tracks drawing close to the mining town. That leads to random attacks on the town, during which Jane ends up caught in the cross-fire:
“Jane.”
Cole’s smooth voice broke through the comedic mental image of her eventual topple down the stairs. She grinned when she turned toward him, blinking through the black haze filling her vision. “Cole… I need…Daisy…”
“Aw, hell, Jane, you froze again, didn’t you?”
“No. Yes. I moved—guns fast, me slow.”

Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors!
Book 3 of my Dominion Falls Series released this week over at Secret Cravings Publishing. But today, I’m keeping you all intrigued with the beginning of the series [amazon_link id=”B00BEMN5SC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Changing Tracks (The Dominion Falls Series book 1)[/amazon_link].
Cole has stepped in to “help” my wonderful amnesiac with an eidetic memory, Jane Doe. Their moment of flirtation featured last week was interrupted by the wealthiest man in town, Jackson Krenshaw. Cole rather despises the man and doesn’t appreciate Jackson’s offer of “a proposal” to help Jane out. He uses his own brand of wit to counter the insults from Jackson:
After another step toward Jackson, Cole snarled, “I told you she ain’t interested.”
“Oh, really? You don’t even know what my proposition is and neither does she. Don’t worry, you don’t have to wrap your little brain around it, Cole, just let me handle things. You are beneath her, I’ve heard how smart she is.”
“I ain’t beneath her yet. That’ll come and so will she.” Cole grinned at the twist of disgust on Jackson’s face.

My amnesiac with the eidetic memory, Jane Doe, has been awake and about town for a couple of weeks. She and Cole Mitchell have been allowing their friendship to blossom. Despite the teasing and clever word play that haven’t yet taken it to the next level:
Setting down the orange she’d been holding, she straightened. “Well, I’m afraid I have a list of things to do today. And you know what? I could search all day and amusing Cole Mitchell would not be found there.”
Saucy. What a challenge she could be. He doubted she could be tamed, but he’d love to try anyway.
With controlled eagerness, he leaned into her, fighting off a groan as her curves molded against his body. Damn, she fit perfect.

I had so much fun last week with the Weekend Writing Warriors that I decided to stick with it!
I’m sticking with the beginning – with [amazon_link id=”B00BEMN5SC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Changing Tracks (The Dominion Falls Series book 1)[/amazon_link].
So, welcome again to my fellow warriors! I present to you a little more of my brothel/saloon owner Cole, and my amnesiac with the eidetic memory, Jane Doe.
In the same scene as last week, a little later. Jane is trying to get rid of the woman that runs the boarding house she’s been recuperating in so she might get to speak and act more freely. Cole thinks she’s being just a little too polite about it. (Creative editing in force to make it eight lines. Try not to cringe at the improper use of commas…they aren’t there in the actual book):
“Martha, you’re annoying.” He was a man of few words, while it was clear she was a woman of plenty.
“You’re an eloquent bastard, aren’t you?” The woman smirked, maybe just a bit annoyed at being interrupted, “You can’t be polite?”
“She won’t leave if you’re nice about it.” Cole leaned back, “You talk too much.”
This time she looked him over and he let her take her time. The more her gaze traveled, the more his skin tingled and his trousers tightened and by the time she finished, her mouth formed a slight O, “Thank you for your opinion.”
