His Texas Sweetheart
Veterinarian Tripp Willoughby returns to his hometown of Juniper Bluff knowing he has no right to ask for forgiveness. He thought keeping his Crohn’s disease a secret was the right thing to do—but he ended up breaking his college girlfriend’s heart. Now Diana Matthews has a new life running a café and working with animals. Reluctantly, she accepts his help with her pet therapy program. And as the furry animals bring them together, Tripp remembers how things used to be with Diana—and is convinced he must find a way to reveal the truth and win her back.

“If I could undo the past, make up for how I hurt you—”
“Don’t say it, Tripp. We’re not going there tonight. And never again, okay?” It was the only way Diana could bear being this close to him. “That was then, this is now and all that matters is the people we are today.”
In the depths of those intense blue eyes, Diana saw something that rocked her to her core. “If you believe that,” he began hesitantly, “then do you think we could start over?”
Her heart stammered. “Start over?”
With a tender smile, Tripp took her hand. “Please. Give me a chance to get it right this time.”
“You’ve got to know how scary this is for me. My heart won’t survive getting broken again.”
A long, slow sigh escaped Tripp’s lips. “As far as it’s in my power, I promise that won’t happen.”
His choice of words struck a subtle warning note in Diana’s brain, but she was too caught up in the moment to care.
I hope you enjoyed this visit to Juniper Bluff in the Texas Hill Country as much as I did. Not long after Diana Matthews first appeared as a supporting character in Her Hill Country Cowboy, I knew I needed to write her story. A hardworking small-town business owner, still single after all these years? Must have been some heartbreak in her past. That gave me the idea for a reunion story, and into my plot walked Tripp Willoughby.
After Tripp ended their college romance, Diana spent years struggling with doubts, confusion and resentment. Can you relate to her fears of opening her heart again? Can you identify with Tripp’s fears about the future, his need to spare the woman he loves from the possibly life-altering complications of his health condition?
Fear is a powerful motivator, but often the things we’re most afraid of are only vague uncertainties, events that may never come to pass. If we truly trust God, though, those fears don’t have to rule our lives. Scripture tells us, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18a). So if fear is holding you back from something potentially good in your life, try courageously stepping out in the full assurance of God’s perfect love. Even if things don’t turn out as hoped, it doesn’t mean СКАЧАТЬ
