Sweet Agony Excerpt

Oh my goodness, going back and revisiting the Cardwell Family and each book has given me such joy. Here's one of my favorite scenes in Sweet Agony

EXCERPT
Of course Brant’s here. And he looks hot as hell, bringing all my rugged, dirty, country boy fantasies to life.
Someone’s getting a real kick out of these run-ins between the two of us.
He’s wearing a tight, grey t-shirt that clings to his muscles, every single one of them and light blue denim jeans. Probably Levi’s.
Please let them be Levi’s.
I amble through the crowd looking for my friends, desperately trying to avoid Brant’s eyes on me. It’s hard not to notice him, his big body towers over everyone in the place. He walks away from the bar and I stop near the jukebox avoiding eye contact.
“Caroline,” Maybelle calls out my name. My gaze flicks to her and Sawyer and that’s when I see Brant standing at their table.
Oh gawd.
Suddenly the urge to duck into the ladies’ room hits me. Instead I look toward the beer decal mirror on the wall. At least I look more put together than when Brant saw me earlier. I changed into a striped button-down shirt and my favorite pair of high-waisted denim shorts.
And of course, the open seat at the table is right in-between Maybelle and Brant.
