“Marry Me, Taylor.”
Those aren’t the three little words Taylor Waters longs to hear from her crush, Falcon Chacon Callahan. The whole town knows the soldier-turned-rancher just needs a bride in order to inherit the coveted spread north of Rancho Diablo. Taylor wants more—even if Falcon is the hottest cowboy this side of the New Mexico border, which he proves one crazy, passionate night!
Family has always come first for Falcon, so when he finds out Taylor is pregnant with his baby, he declares a brand-new mission: to stand and fight for what’s his. It will take maneuvering through some dangerous situations—and that legendary Callahan charm—to make Diablo’s best girl fall in love with him. But to have his ranch at stake is one thing…what about his heart?
“You’re officially reneging on your proposal?”
Falcon nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”
“All right.” Taylor took a deep breath and stepped close to him. She poked a finger in his chest, and he’d never wanted to grab her and kiss her senseless as badly as he did at that moment. “Listen to me, you big chicken. I wouldn’t marry you if you were the last man on earth.”
Thankfully she hadn’t come to tell him she’d picked another bachelor and was ducking out of the so-called agreement. That had been his greatest fear when she’d pulled up in the Jeep. The relief was practically blinding.
“Okay,” he said, smelling her sweet perfume. “I accept that.”
“You will accept it, because I’m not giving you a choice.” Her eyes flashed at him. “I’m having a baby, and the last thing I’d ever do is to marry a chickenhearted weasel who’s scared to death of his own feelings.”
Falcon felt as if a boulder from the canyons had fallen on him, crushing him. He could barely breathe. “A baby? My baby?”
Dear Reader,
The Callahans love their family, their land and the Diablo mustangs that run free through the New Mexico canyons. In this newest chapter of the Callahan legend, Falcon Chacon Callahan has had his eye on Taylor Waters for a long time, but the independent brunette isn’t exactly the kind of woman who’s ready to make a run to the altar. Taylor likes the rangy, sexy cowboy, but everyone knows that Falcon—like all the Callahans—is wild at heart. Will their love unite them against the evil forces swirling around Rancho Diablo? Or are Taylor and Falcon destined to be the first who elude Aunt Fiona’s matchmaking magic?
As the first warmth of spring begins to tease us from our winter hibernation, I hope you will enjoy riding the range with Taylor and Falcon. The lore of the Diablo mustangs is a rich part of the tapestry of Rancho Diablo, and it’s my greatest wish that you enjoy discovering the mystical call of their spirits with these hard-loving cowboys.
Much love,
Tina
