      That was one of the things she’d most loved about him; Colton or not, he wasn’t above apologizing.

      “I shouldn’t have made such a big deal out of a passing comment,” she said.

      “And I shouldn’t have accused you of…what I did.”

      She nodded, accepting the sincerity she heard in his voice. “I guess the past isn’t so far behind it can’t jump up and bite.”

      For a long, silent moment T.C. watched the horse, who was back on his feet now, shaking to get rid of the dust he’d picked up.

      Then, without looking at her, he asked quietly, “Did you mean it? About…wanting me?”

      Honesty was the very least of the things she owed him. “I’ve never, ever stopped wanting you.”

      His eyes closed. The silvery light made his lashes stand out as a dark, thick sweep above his cheeks. He turned then. Looked at her straight on. “You’d better get inside, Jolie. Or we’re going to start this dance again.”

      “Then let the music begin,” she whispered.

      The Coltons of Texas: Finding love and buried family secrets in the Lone Star State…

Dear Reader,

      This is my third visit with the amazing Colton family. They certainly are spread all over! I think I may like the Texas branch best of all, at least so far.

      Writing a book in a continuity series is always a challenge, not only keeping everything straight between multiple authors, but because they’re not “my” characters. I try to look at it as if I’m writing a script for a favorite television series. Those aren’t my characters, either, but that doesn’t mean I care about them any less, it’s just different.

      I’m a Westerner through and through, so this felt like home for me. And I’m always glad for the chance to throw in a special horse! Besides, well…cowboys. Women who match them. Texas. Cute kids. Bigger than life. What’s not to love? And one of my favorite themes is that of lost love regained.

      In this case, there are a lot of obstacles in the way, not the least of which is the formidable Colton family itself. When Jolie Peters ran out on T. C. Colton, she had her reasons. T.C. only knows the only woman he ever really loved didn’t care enough to stay, and took the baby girl he’d started to think of as his own with her. But now she needs his help, and…well, read on and find out.

      Enjoy!
