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 my Texas Gift (Texas #8) out November 15. This is the final book in the Texas Series featuring Jack and Riley Campbell-Hayes and the family they have created at the Double D Ranch.

The barn wasn’t just the barn, it was a euphemism for sex. They hadn’t been together in a month, over a month now. How did Riley explain that he’d been at the office, sometimes with the blinds shut, closing out the light, sleeping? How did he explain he didn’t want to see a doctor because the headaches scared him? And how the hell did he tell Jack he was limping because every single one of his muscles hurt, because he was tired, because it was all too much?
“Jack, I’m sorry.”
A gift for every single reader needed to know what happened next for to Jack and Riley…
When Hayley arrived on the steps of the D, Riley and Jack knew life would never be the same.
Told through Riley and Jack’s eyes, this is ten years in the life of their family and watching Hayley grow up, fall in love, and start her own life. Hurricanes, illness, babies, happiness, sadness, work, play, the barn, the office, horses, friends, enemies, and above all love.

Scary and heart-wrenching and touching.

It's not easy sharing one's fears, but I'm guessing he can trust Jack with them.
Jana Denardo says
Hopefully Jack learns of the headaches and makes him seek help.
LeeAnn Pratt says
What? Omg no! *needs to hug Riley *
J.D. Walker says
Oh, poor thing! I hope he changes his mind about seeing a doctor.
