HER BLUEGRASS BEAU
By: Carol Preflatish
The Plot: An Excerpt:
Karri Taylor needs to get out of
California and away from her ex-
boyfriend. She decides to visit the
Kentucky farm she inherited from
her great-aunt.
Jake Duncan is the definition of
a perfect southern gentleman and it
doesn‟t take long for Karri take an
interest. She soon develops an affec-
tion for both Jake and the Bluegrass
State.
Her plan was to sell the farm
and head back home, but, when a blizzard hits, she‟s snowed in.
With no food and the generator stolen, the only thing she can
do is accept Jake‟s offer to stay with him.
While with Jake, she learns a big company‟s trying to buy all
the farms in the area, against the owners‟ wishes. Should she sell
and return home where she owns a business, or stay in Ken-
tucky and start all over with Jake by her side? Karri looked up at the big round thermometer that hung
from the porch roof and saw the temperature was nineteen de-
grees. The thought of that hot coffee sounded too good to pass
up, especially since her bare feet were freezing. She opened the
door to let Jake inside and pulled her light robe around her. She
shivered when the cold air hit her skin.
“Thanks. The cold was beginning to make it through my
clothes.” He immediately started walking toward the kitchen.
He held a thermos in one hand and a pie tin with aluminum foil
over it. More rudeness, she thought. She put the umbrella back
and followed him to the kitchen.
“I figured you didn‟t have any food here and would be hun-
gry for breakfast. I fixed me some biscuits this morning and
thought I‟d bring some back to you.” He turned on the oven
and uncovered the pie tin of biscuits. From one coat pocket, he
sat a glass jar of brown syrupy looking substance on the table
and then from the other pocket, he took out a small piece of
aluminum foil. When he unfolded it, she saw it had butter in-
side.
“You think of everything, don‟t you?”
