      Friends To Roommates…To Lovers?

      Living with the Cupid of Blue Falls, Texas—her aunt Verona—Elissa Mason should be married by now. Or so her friends tease. But Elissa is wedded to the family nursery she’s turned into a success. Following a devastating tornado, she has to rebuild and nothing’s going to distract her. Not even her new feelings for neighbor-turned-roommate Pete Kayne.

      Deputy Sheriff Pete Kayne understands having a dream and doesn’t want to get in Elissa’s way. Especially after the tornado has taken his house, his truck, everything but his horse and his friends. All he’s got left to share is his heart. He has his own ambition: a chance to join the ultimate in law enforcement—the Texas Rangers. Elissa was his friend. That would have to be enough….

      When did Pete Kayne get so ripped?

      “Sorry, I thought you were gone already.”

      At the sound of Pete’s voice, the voice of her friend, Elissa snatched her gaze away from his chest to find an awkward, embarrassed look on his face. She half turned and gestured vaguely toward her room. “I think I sort of slipped into a coma last night.”

      “Me, too.”

      She forced herself to meet his eyes as if nothing out of the ordinary was going on, that she hadn’t just ogled the pectorals of one of her best friends. “Are you late for work?”

      He shook his head. “On this afternoon.”

      She glanced at the bathroom behind him.

      “Sorry,” he said again, this time moving out of the doorway to give her access. “I’ve got errands to run.”

      Pete hurried past her toward the guest room. Unable to help herself, she glanced over her shoulder. Damn, his back was every bit as well cut as his chest, a fact she would have been much better off not knowing. Even after he slipped into the room and shut the door behind him, she didn’t move. Memories started tumbling through her head, and she realized she’d never seen Pete without a shirt on. And now she feared she’d never be able to forget the sight.

      Dear Reader,

      What if you found your true love in, literally, the boy next door? The one who’d been your friend for years? That’s the stunning possibility facing Elissa Mason when her good friend Pete Kayne loses his home to a tornado and moves into her guest room. One moment he’s the good guy deputy sheriff, and the next he’s the sexy man she can’t stop thinking about. As Pete, Elissa and the rest of Blue Falls pick up the pieces after the tornado, these two friends find a love neither expected.

      I love friends-to-lovers stories, so I had a lot of fun writing Marrying the Cowboy. I hope you enjoy Pete and Elissa’s journey to their happily ever after and the return trip to Blue Falls, Texas.
