Dear Reader,

When Wyatt McCall came to Brody’s Crossing in December 2009, he brought shy, smart, well-educated Cassie McMann with him. She immediately loved all things Texan, including her retro-themed Western room at the Sweet Dreams Motel. Cassie had found her home. Of course I had to tell her story!

Cassie had a makeover in body and spirit. She learned to dance, ride and even flirt with the cowboys at Dewey’s Steakhouse and Saloon. When she attends the wedding reception of her friend Amanda, Cassie meets the cowboy of her dreams.

Charlie Yates competed for a role on “The Next Cowboy Star,” but was voted off. He’s a former calf-roping champion forced into early retirement by a shoulder injury. When Charlie returns to Brody’s Crossing for his friend Leo’s wedding, he meets one of the cutest bridesmaids he’s ever seen. Cassie is an aspiring cowgirl with a zest for living he finds downright intoxicating. Soon they’re getting to know each other really well—with an unexpected complication.

I hope you enjoy Cassie and Charlie’s story as they find love and compromise in Texas. For more information on my releases, writing tips, etc., visit me on Facebook.
