Will an abandoned child bring them together?
Or tear them apart?
Cowboy Jericho Johnson lives a good life working on the Rebel family’s Texas ranch. All he’s missing is a wonderful woman like Anamarie Wiznowski. But Rico’s troubled past and Ana’s disapproving family conspire against them. When Rico is named guardian to a four-year-old boy, he asks Ana for help. And suddenly, he’s falling faster than Christmas snow...for Ana, sweet little Dusty and life as a family man!

“Can Ana come, too?”
Rico looked into Anamarie’s blue eyes. “You bet.” He got up, feeling a little unsure of what was ahead of him, but he could do no less.
“That’s so nice of you to take him.”
Rico placed Dustin on his feet. “Go tell the sheriff thank you for letting you stay with me. Then we’ll go.”
“’Kay.”
Rico needed a minute to talk to Anamarie. She picked up the sippy cup, which hadn’t broken or leaked onto the floor. “I might need your help. Are you available?”
She smiled one of her trademark smiles. “You bet.”
They walked back to the bakery with Dusty between them. Mickey trailed behind. Rico carried the duffel bag and quilt over his shoulder, and thought this was a slice of heaven being together with Anamarie and Dusty. It was almost like a family. It was almost real. The almost kept him from thinking any further. Happily-ever-after wasn’t in his future. It never had been.
The Texas Rebels series began in Harlequin Western Romance, and I’m so happy to continue the series for Harlequin Heartwarming.
Jericho Johnson’s life hasn’t been easy, but he’s grateful to the Rebel family for giving him a home. Even so, he never feels as if he fits in, and he yearns for a family of his own. But he’s a loner by nature and feels that will never happen. Until Anamarie Wiznowski smiles at him. She gives him hope that they could have a future together. These are two people who want the same thing: a home and a family. But the struggle to get them there was a tearjerker. I shed a few tears over their story.
I have to say Jericho is the kindest hero I have ever written. I was so glad to give him his happy ending. It’s been a long time since I visited Horseshoe, Texas, and I hope you enjoy the visit and Jericho and Anamarie’s journey.
With love and thanks,
Linda
