Excerpt from
The Edge of Town

“Lute, no!”

She pulled back, and he let her go. “Rhetta will be wondering what’s taking us so long.”

“Okay. I certainly wouldn’t want Rhetta to get the idea that I’m out here kissing my ex-wife. It could damage my image of most eligible bachelor.” His words were tinged with sarcasm.

“What you’re really afraid of is that Miss Home Ec will find out.” Her tone matched his.

“You’re right. I’ve got to have someone to fill in when you leave.”

She balled her fist, wishing that she had the nerve to hit him.

He reached across her and opened the car door. The interior light came on, and Nelda collected her shoes and purse. Without looking at him, she got out of the car. By the time she reached the porch he was beside her, his hand on her elbow. She wanted to jerk away, but the thoughts rushed in like an ocean wave—last kiss, last touch. . . .

“Garlock, as always, writes a sterling story with characters you want to hear about.”
