June 1, 2012, Waco,
Texas
“Why Birdie, where’ve you been hiding all that… bounty?” Sergeant
Ted Weaver, Birdie’s co-worker, whipped off his Stetson and laid the hat over
his heart. His gaze raked her from head to toe, finally settling on her
breasts. Birdie wanted to smack his grinning face. She snorted and covered the bare
skin above the red strapless dress with her oversized handbag. It’d taken all the
nerve she could garner to exit the ladies restroom in the sleazy garb. Tonight’s
Victorian costume party dress paled in comparison to her current get-up. Everyone
in the unit was counting on her to succeed this afternoon. But tonight her
family home was at stake. She couldn’t afford to fail at either assignment.
“Watch yourself, Weaver.” She slapped her thigh, where
her thigh holster held her Ruger, with her free hand. “I can still pierce your
ear for you.”
His howls of laughter bounced off the walls. At least the
other men in the office were courteous enough to bend their heads and try to hide
their snickers.
Being a woman in the Texas Rangers wasn’t easy. While
some tolerated her, others ignored her. If she pulled off this afternoon’s
assignment, where several male rangers had failed, maybe the stigma of being a
woman in their ranks would lose some of its stink.

I hope you'll pick up a copy.
