He Never Expected To See Her Again!
When Mack Cashâs 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, sheâs just the kind of woman heâs looking forâsexy, sure, but also down-home and whip-smart.
Mackâs obvious attraction is just the boost Beth was looking for after a hurtful divorce. She loves the way he looks at herâand sees her. Except for one thing. He wants a family, and Beth can only disappoint him. Sheâs already failed at love once and she canât go through it again. Thatâs why she has to let Mack goâ¦.
âYou donât have to be so crude,â she said.
âI 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.â
Miffed, Beth planted her hands on her hips. âAnd 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.â She narrowed her eyes. âAnd the reason I dolled myself up was because men like you never give women like me a second glance.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
She spread her arms wide. âWhen it comes to passion and desire Iâm no manâs fantasy.â
âYou donât think very highly of yourself.â She would have fled, if her only escape route hadnât been blocked by a broad-shouldered cowboy. âI think we shouldââ
âPretend that night never happened,â she said.
Forgetting her evening with Mack was the last thing she wanted to do, but she didnât dare tell him that unless she cared to keep torturing herself.
âFine,â he said. âWeâll act as if weâve never met before.â
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 Mackâs getting tired of the single life and heâs ready to find the right womanâthat is, after one more fling with a woman who wonât share her last name.
The fun begins when the mystery woman turns up as a guest at the Black Jack Mountain Dude Ranch where Mackâs a wrangler, except sheâs not a buckle bunny anymoreâsheâs exactly the kind of woman Mackâs looking to settle down with. Heâs willing to give Beth a second chance, but sheâs not on board with his plans for a committed relationship. The happy-ever-after Mack envisions for them might be hijacked by Bethâs insecurities and her belief that she canât give Mack the family heâs 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 youâll be a believer like Beth that the true meaning of family is more than biologyâthe meaning of family is all in the heart.

Two could play the cheating game.
Except it wasnât really cheating, because Beth Richards and her husband, Brad, were officially divorced. Earlier in the afternoon theyâd met at the lawyerâs office to sign the papers. Afterward, Beth had gone on a shopping spree.
She adjusted her brand-new Victoriaâs Secret push-up bra and fluffed the fake brown hair extensions that made her look twenty-one instead of thirty-one. She studied herself in the ladiesâ-room mirror and decided her lips could use a second coat of Ravish Me Red, then cursed her trembling fingers when she rummaged for the tube of gloss in the rhinestone-studded clutch.
