He Never Expected To See Her Again!
When Mack Cash’s mysterious one-night stand shows up at the dude ranch where he works, he is stunned. And just as he suspected during their night together, Beth Richards is no buckle bunny, despite the getup she was wearing. Instead, she’s just the kind of woman he’s looking for—sexy, sure, but also down-home and whip-smart.
Mack’s obvious attraction is just the boost Beth was looking for after a hurtful divorce. She loves the way he looks at her—and sees her. Except for one thing. He wants a family, and Beth can only disappoint him. She’s already failed at love once and she can’t go through it again. That’s why she has to let Mack go….
“You don’t have to be so crude,” she said.
“I call it like I see it. You dolled yourself up then set your sights on me. After you got what you wanted, you walked away without a backward glance.”
Miffed, Beth planted her hands on her hips. “And I see it like this… You approached me in the bar, and unlike my husband I at least waited for my divorce to become final before I took a walk on the wild side.” She narrowed her eyes. “And the reason I dolled myself up was because men like you never give women like me a second glance.”
“What are you talking about?”
She spread her arms wide. “When it comes to passion and desire I’m no man’s fantasy.”
“You don’t think very highly of yourself.” She would have fled, if her only escape route hadn’t been blocked by a broad-shouldered cowboy. “I think we should—”
“Pretend that night never happened,” she said.
Forgetting her evening with Mack was the last thing she wanted to do, but she didn’t dare tell him that unless she cared to keep torturing herself.
“Fine,” he said. “We’ll act as if we’ve never met before.”
Like the other Cash brothers, Mack attracts his fair share of female attention, and being the lead singer of the Cowboy Rebels makes him a favorite with the buckle bunnies. But Mack’s getting tired of the single life and he’s ready to find the right woman—that is, after one more fling with a woman who won’t share her last name.
The fun begins when the mystery woman turns up as a guest at the Black Jack Mountain Dude Ranch where Mack’s a wrangler, except she’s not a buckle bunny anymore—she’s exactly the kind of woman Mack’s looking to settle down with. He’s willing to give Beth a second chance, but she’s not on board with his plans for a committed relationship. The happy-ever-after Mack envisions for them might be hijacked by Beth’s insecurities and her belief that she can’t give Mack the family he’s always wanted. I hope you enjoy watching Mack and Beth struggle to find their way as a couple, and when you reach the end of the book you’ll be a believer like Beth that the true meaning of family is more than biology—the meaning of family is all in the heart.
