Dear Reader,

Welcome back to Serendipity, Texas. I’m so happy you’ve joined me for the second novel in my Cowboy Country miniseries. I’m excited to have the opportunity to write about rugged cowboys, adorable infants and the women whose love makes their lives complete. It’s also great fun to be able to revisit other beloved Serendipity residents.

Have you ever known someone who rubbed you the wrong way? This is the case for Laney Beckett with Slade McKenna. From the first time they meet, Slade gets on Laney’s nerves in every possible way, but eventually she discovers a heart of gold beneath that tough exterior. In Slade’s quest to make things better for Laney and unborn Baby Beckett, his words or actions sometimes inadvertently have the opposite effect from what he intends.

When you cross paths with people who are hard to love, I hope you’ll remember this story and realize there might be hidden reasons for why they act as they do. I pray you’ll be able to see what God sees—the dignity of the person—and reach out to those people with kindness.

I hope you enjoyed The Cowboy’s Forever Family. I love to connect with you, my readers, in a personal way. You can look me up at debkastnerbooks.com. Come join me on Facebook at facebook.com/debkastnerbooks, or you can catch me on Twitter @debkastner.

Please know that you are daily in my prayers.



Love Courageously,
