A Callahan And A CashâForever?
Sawyer Cash pregnant? With twins? The fiery-haired bodyguard who had secretly shared Jace Callahanâs bed just rocked his world. The only solution is a quickie Vegas wedding. Then itâs back to Rancho Diablo, where Jace can keep an eagle eye on his bride and babies-to-be while waging war against the Callahan nemesis hell-bent on stealing his land.
Jace knows Sawyer thinks sheâs only brought him trouble. She wanted to catch a Callahan and now she and their baby boy and girl are right in the line of fire. But doesnât Sawyer know sheâs the only woman for him, even if her family might be in the enemy camp? With things reaching a boiling point, Jace vows to fight for his familyâs future as only a Callahan can!
âI canât believe Iâm going to be a father to a little girl and boy. Itâs so unreal. And wonderful.â
It was hard not to soften under the pride in his deep voice. Sheâd always loved Jaceâs voice, so warm and enveloping and inviting, especially when he whispered to her in the dark.
Sawyer sensed those days were long gone. Nothing could be the same now that they were married, and married under circumstances heâd no doubt come to regret one day. Speaking of regret, she figured she might as well put everything in the open now. She took a deep breath.
âJace, hereâs the main reason you and I have a marriage thatâs probably going to be difficult. I know your family really never trusted mine.â
âSort of stating it too harshly,â Jace said. âWe didnât know what to think. Besides, weâve put all that to rest with our marriage.â
Dear Reader,
The final Callahan bachelor is about to fall, and the journey was so much fun to write! Was there ever a man more destined for love and family than Jace? And yet falling for oneâs neighborâconsidered no friend of the familyâcanât be all that good an idea, can it? But Sawyer Cash has long been Jaceâs siren callâthe petite, red-haired fireball tempts him madly! Sleeping with the enemy has never been so satisfyingâ¦until twin babies enter the picture. Double trouble!
What does a hunky cowboy do when everything heâs ever wanted is on the wrong side of the fence? Jace will need all the mystical assistance Rancho Diablo has to offer if heâs ever to win Sawyer Cashâs heart.
I hope you enjoy Jaceâs story. And then, on to little sister Ashâs own perilous trek to love.
Best wishes and happy reading always,
Tina

And thereâs not an inch of quit in them.â

Callahans simply didnât move away from Rancho Diablo
Chapter One
Jace Chacon Callahan stared back at the petite fireball glaring at him. Sawyer Cash was his nemesis, his nightmare, the one woman that could keep him awake at night, racked by desire. Her killer body and haunting smile stayed lodged in his never-at-rest brain. And now here she was, red hair aflame and blue eyes focused, oblivious to the fact that his mind was never quite free of her. âYouâre the bidder who won me at the Christmas ball?â Jace demanded.
Sawyer shrugged. âDonât freak out about it. Someone had to bid on you. I was just trying to contribute to your aunt Fionaâs charity. Are we going to do this thing or not?â
He seemed to be locked in place, thunderstruck. For starters, Sawyer was telling a whopper of a fib. Thereâd been plenty of ladies bidding a few weeks ago for the chance of winning a dinner date with a Callahan bachelor, which happened to be him.
But what had him completely poleaxed was that the little darling who had such spunkâand whatever else you wanted to call the sass that made her an excellent bodyguard and a torture to his soulâwas that Sawyer was quite clearly, this fine February day, as pregnant as a busy bunny in spring.
In a curve-hugging, hot pink dress with long sleeves and a high waist, she made no effort to hide it. Taupe boots adorned her feet, and she looked sexy as a goddess, but for the glare she wore just for him.
