“This time will be different, Brittany.”
“What if it isn’t?”
“You’ll find a way. I know you. You’re...tenacious.” Mason checked to make sure Noah was nearby. His son was running toward the trees. “Hey, slow down, buckaroo.”
“I’m gonna find us the biggest tree, Daddy!”
“Rule number one. It needs to fit in our house.”
Brittany’s laugh filled the air. She was gazing up at the sky. Her delight made Mason halt in his tracks. His pulse raced out of control, and it annoyed him. Because he didn’t get all jittery around women. Not anymore.
Brittany raised her leg, bent it and did some sort of spinning move. Right there in the snow under the blue sky.
She was joyous and full of life. She took Mason’s breath away. Brittany was tropical sun on his face after a cold winter. She was fireworks on the Fourth of July.
She was pure excitement to him. Always had been...
For he that is mighty hath done to me
great things; and holy is his name.
—Luke 1:49
What’s better than a new cowboy series set in Wyoming? I had so much fun dreaming up Rendezvous. I could picture the river running through town, the mountains nearby and the cute downtown full of restaurants and shops to be featured in all four of the books. And as the setting jelled in my mind, the people in it came to life.
I’ve cried many tears over Mason and his loss. And Brittany...how many times did I want to hug her and tell her how wonderful she is? So many people walk through life not realizing how much they have to offer the world. They’re so much more than their job title or bank account balance. Mason needed Brittany’s brightness and acceptance, and she needed his steadiness and devotion.
Could you relate to Brittany’s realization that she would never find her identity in the things of this world? Her identity rests in being God’s beloved child. Every now and then, I forget this, too, but thankfully, God gently reminds me I’m His and I don’t need to be more.
Thank you, again, for reading my book!
Blessings to you,
