      He wants to serve and protect…

      Still, Keri Mehler wants nothing to do with Sheriff Simon Teague. Keri has lost almost her entire family, her brother Carter is who knows where, and now she is sole guardian of her late sister’s ten-month-old girl. She doesn’t need her old crush coming around and stirring things up even more!

      Everyone in Blue Falls, Texas, might find the cowboy sheriff charming, but Keri knows the truth. Simon was the reason her brother ran off for a life of trouble, and he’s the last person she would turn to for comfort. But the lawman seems determined to help her and her little niece. Keri is equally determined to keep Simon at arm’s length. She wants to hate him, but his charm may finally be getting to her, too.

      “You want to be a cowgirl?

      “If so, you’re going to have to learn how to ride a horse.” Simon began bouncing his leg as he held the baby firmly. Hannah laughed.

      After a couple of minutes, he noticed Keri standing in the doorway.

      “Look, Hannah, it’s your aunt Keri.”

      A hint of a smile tugged at the edges of Keri’s mouth. Then, as if she realized what she’d done, her lips formed a humorless line.

      “Why are you doing this?” she asked.

      “Because once upon a time we were friends, and I’d like to be again.”

      He braced himself for a hot and sharp response, but it didn’t come. Keri simply stood in the doorway for a few seconds then turned to head back to work.

      He wasn’t about to examine why, but her response made him smile. Sure, they’d been friends before and the whole deal with her brother was long past due for resolution. But those weren’t the only reasons he was determined to place himself back in Keri Mehler’s life.

      He was attracted to her, and no one was more surprised than him.

      “So, what do you think, Hannah? Think I have a shot?”

      Dear Reader,

      I hope you’ve been enjoying The Teagues of Texas trilogy and falling in love with those handsome cowboy brothers. In The Cowboy Sheriff, oldest brother, Simon, finally finds the woman who will put his serial dating ways to rest forever—and she’s been under his nose the entire time.

      I’m a big fan of stories where friends fall in love, and this one has a twist. Friends become enemies become lovers. Simon and Keri have a winding road to their happily-ever-after, but I think that makes it all that much sweeter.

      I’d love to hear what you think of the Teague brothers and their stories. You can find me on Facebook, Twitter and my website at www.trishmilburn.com. Hope to hear from you soon.
