      Can he cowboy up for fatherhood?

      He had no room for love...until now.

      After meeting the son he never knew he had, Marcus Palermo’s simple life turns upside down. Complicating things further is Lissa Hart, the boy’s lovely guardian. She’ll help him become a parent—but falling for a gruff cowboy is not in her plans. Will she realize her future lies in Bluebonnet Springs with the rugged rancher?

      BRENDA MINTON lives in the Ozarks with her husband, children, cats, dogs and strays. She is a pastor’s wife, Sunday-school teacher, coffee addict and sleep deprived. Not in that order. Her dream to be an author for Harlequin started somewhere in the pages of a romance novel about a young American woman stranded in a Spanish castle. Her dreams came true, and twenty-plus books later, she is an author hoping to inspire young girls to dream.

      “Let’s try to be friends.”

      “I’m trying,” Marcus told her in his low, gruff voice. “You have to give a guy a few days to figure things out and get over feeling like he’s had his legs kicked out from under him.”

      “I know.” She pulled her seat belt around and he reached over to click it into place for her. “Thank you.”

      “I’m not going to take him from you,” he said as they headed down the long driveway back to the main road.

      The sting of tears took her by surprise. She wiped at them and when he handed her a handkerchief, she shook her head.

      “I’m fine.”

      “Yeah, of course you are.” He shoved the handkerchief into her hand. “I know he needs you. I know he doesn’t need a scarred-up, dysfunctional cowboy for a dad.”

      “I think you’re wrong,” she told him.

      And the words took her by surprise.

      She hadn’t expected to like Marcus Palermo...
