The Cowboy And The Preacher’s Daughter
Years ago, Will Cash wasn’t interested in being a dad. So Marsha Bugler left town to raise her baby alone. But when her father’s health begins to fail, she realizes she needs to return to Arizona—and introduce Will to his boy. Marsha is nervous to face Will not only because she lied, but because she’s never stopped thinking about her cowboy crush.
Will is shocked to discover he has a son. And he can hardly believe the changes in Marsha. She’s strong, sexy and a Ph.D. while Will’s still a part-time cowboy living in a bunkhouse with his brothers. What does he have to offer her and his teenage son? Will has a lot to prove if he’s going to get what he wants—the family he never knew he had.
“I want this to work out for you and Ryan.”
“Do you?”
Marsha bristled but held her tongue.
“Or are you hoping I’ll make mistakes, so Ryan will want nothing to do with me?”
“I can’t believe you’d think that.”
“Why not? If things don’t work out for me and Ryan, you head back to California with a clear conscience.”
The brown eyes staring at her were filled with pain, and shame swept through Marsha. She expected that this father-son reunion would be difficult, but her main concern had been for Ryan’s emotional well-being. She hadn’t given much thought to the turmoil Will might be dealing with. “I’ll do everything in my power to help you both, but you’ll have to communicate with me. I can’t read your mind.”
Will stared into space. “We’re strangers who made a baby.”
“Then why don’t we get reacquainted,” she said.
Dear Reader,
The famous Willie Nelson song “Always on my Mind” was the inspiration for Will and Marsha’s story.
Will Cash has never been able to forget the one-night stand he had with the pastor’s daughter back in high school, and for good reason—fourteen years later Marsha returns to town with his son, Ryan.
Keeping secrets can lead to big-time trouble and Marsha Bugler is about to discover just what kind of hornet’s nest she’s stirred up when she informs not only her parents who the father of their grandson is, but the father himself—Will Cash, who had no idea she’d kept their baby.
There’s plenty of drama in this story and I hope you enjoy watching Will, Marsha, their son and her parents find their own path toward forgiveness and reconciliation. And through it all the meaning of family shines true and bright.
Her Secret Cowboy is the third book in The Cash Brothers series. If you missed the first two stories, The Cowboy Next Door (July 1013) and Twins Under the Christmas Tree (Oct. 2013), the books remain available through online retailers.
