Mackenzie smiled. “Babysitting isn’t part of your job description. But thank you.”
Warmth spread through Justin’s chest at her smile. He wondered if he’d ever met a woman he was so blindingly attracted to—and decided in a hurry that was a terrible thought to have about his boss. Definitely a dead end. There was no way on this planet he had any business being attracted to her.
“I’m going to get some coffee. You want a cup?”
“No, thank you. You go on.”
He nodded and turned to leave.
But he turned back around to meet her gaze. He started to say that minding her daughters hadn’t been work. He’d done it because he’d wanted to. Wanted to make her happy, to help her out.
It was a bad idea to make such a confession.
Justin Morant is in a pickle! He’s been sent on a mission to Bridesmaids Creek, Texas, and specifically to the Hanging H ranch, where he immediately realizes he’s been set up to work for a sexy mama with four tiny daughters at a ranch that was once a celebrated haunted house—not his idea of How to End a Rodeo Career! Falling for the boss lady was never part of the plan, but those little babies are trying to steal his heart. The thing is, maybe his heart was ready to be stolen, because he sure can’t imagine life without them, or their spunky, independent mother.
Mackenzie Hawthorne is stunned when the handsome ex-rodeo rider shows up on her porch to apply for the job of ranch foreman. She’s not happy when she finds out that her good friend Ty Spurlock has sent the rodeo rebel on a mission of marriage, essentially, but Justin is so sweet with her four babies that soon her heart is in serious danger of falling. She’s not interested in marrying again, but Justin seems in no hurry to leave her or the babies—is it possible that this time she’s found the man of her dreams?
I invite you to join me in Bridesmaids Creek, Texas, a small town of good-hearted people whose residents have created a man-friendly environment full of legends and so-called magic history to showcase Bridesmaids Creek’s many wonderful charms. I hope you’ll enjoy this first story, set in a place so mystical it could only be called “home.”
All my best,

Extract
Justin Morant recognized trouble when his buddy Ty Spurlock texted him a link to a dating website. This was what happened when you had to leave the rodeo circuit thanks to a career-ending injury: your friends decided you needed a woman with whom to share your retirement, and maybe a spread to call your own because you were
