       “You make it a habit to propose to strangers?”

      “Not generally. But I’ll make an exception in your case.”

      Lyla shook her head. “Men like you don’t even ask out women like me.”

      Wyatt frowned. “Men like me and women like you?”

      “Hot guys who know they’re hot,” she clarified. “Don’t you dare say you don’t know you’re hot. And I’m the opposite of hot.”

      “Oh, you’re hot, all right.”

      And he so wished he hadn’t blurted that out. He knew how to keep things close to the vest, and he darn sure shouldn’t be saying something like that to Lyla. Especially since it was the truth.

      Imagine a family tree that includes Texas cowboys, Choctaw and Cherokee Indians, a Louisiana pirate and a Scottish rebel who battled side by side with William Wallace. With ancestors like that, it’s easy to understand why USA TODAY bestselling author and former air force captain DELORES FOSSEN feels as if she were genetically predisposed to writing romances. Along the way to fulfilling her DNA destiny, Delores married an air force top gun who just happens to be of Viking descent. With all those romantic bases covered, she doesn’t have to look too far for inspiration.

       Excerpt

      Chapter One

      Marshal Wyatt McCabe adjusted his binoculars and studied the woman. Lyla Pearson. She was leading a roan mare into the barn just behind her small ranch house, and from what he could tell, she appeared to be talking to the horse. Maybe even singing to it.

      She sure didn’t look like someone on the verge of committing a felony.

      Not yet anyway.

      One thing was for certain—he’d never met her. If he had, Wyatt was pretty sure he would have remembered her even though there was nothing much about her that stood out.

      Five foot seven or eight. Average build. Brown hair that she’d gathered into a ponytail.

      There was no baby bump that he could see. Probably too early in the pregnancy for it, but Wyatt wasn’t a baby expert. However, from everything he’d read about her, Lyla had wanted a baby for years even though she was single and not in a relationship.

      What Wyatt needed to know was why she’d wanted this particular baby.

      She disappeared into the barn, probably to stable the mare, and when she came out, she stopped and looked around as if she sensed someone
