Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (snippets are 6 sentences long–one for each colour in the Pride flag). You can find all the snippets by clicking here.
Today's snippet is from The Heart of Texas (Texas #1). Jack and Riley's final book out in just 11 days, this is where it all began.

“A year of marriage. I want—I need a partner, to be married for one year and for many reasons. Not the least of which is giving me a win-win situation with my father.”
“Marriage?” What the hell? “You—and me?” Jack managed to form the simple question on sheer shock alone as Riley nodded earnestly, but Jack couldn’t bring himself to move. He just sat there, stunned.
“So, what do you think?” Riley finally asked as Jack rose to his feet.

The Book - OUT NOW
Angered by the requirement, Riley seeks a means of bypassing his father's stipulation. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him "for love" suits Riley's purpose. There is no mention in his father's documents that the marriage had to be with a woman and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior's arch rival. Win win.
Riley marries Jack and abruptly his entire world is turned inside out. Riley hadn't counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, quiet and unassuming rancher, is a force of nature in his own right.
This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust and love, the sprawling life of a rancher and the whirlwind existence of a playboy. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means.
