The Doctor's Cowboy. Trish Milburn

      

      THE PERFECT PRESCRIPTION

      Dr. Chloe Brody cares about all her patients. Maybe more than she should. Because one day rodeo cowboy Wyatt Kelley shows up in her ER, busted up but still flirting. He’s got no place to go, so she takes him home.

      Soon, Wyatt is seeing stuff no one else in Chloe’s life has noticed. The pretty doctor has a full life, but inside, she’s alone, just like him. When the attraction between them heats up, Wyatt knows he should leave Blue Falls and Chloe behind—because what can a broken cowboy with an ugly past offer a woman like her? Chloe, though, is determined to show Wyatt that she doesn’t care about his past. She just wants him to be a part of her future.

      She smiled a little. “First time for everything.”

      “Yeah, I guess.” He said it slowly, at the last moment looking at her lips before lifting his gaze to her eyes again.

      Chloe swallowed hard. Before she did something stupid, something she couldn’t take back, she broke eye contact and stepped around him.

      “I need to check how well your incisions are healing.” Though the thought of looking at even that little sliver of skin caused heat to flood her cheeks. As least her back was to him. Without waiting for Wyatt, she headed to her bedroom and pulled fresh bandages from the bag she’d stored there.

      When she turned around, Wyatt was almost done unbuttoning his shirt. “What are you doing?”

      He paused. “Taking it off.”

      “You don’t have to do that.”

      “I’m not going to sleep in it.” He smiled as he slipped the last two buttons through the holes and shrugged out of the shirt.

      Her mouth went dry, and she was probably staring at him as if she’d never seen a half-naked man before.

      Still smiling, Wyatt crossed the space between them. “Do I make you nervous, Dr. Brody?”

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome back to Blue Falls, Texas, a town that has become so real to me that I want to go shopping at the Yesterwear Boutique, eat pastries at the Mehlerhaus Bakery and go for a walk around Blue Falls Lake. Oh, and let’s not forget having a good time at one of the local rodeos filled with cowboys with rodeo in their blood.

      It’s one of those rodeos that brings my latest hero, Wyatt Kelley, to Blue Falls. And the injury he sustains when he’s thrown from a bull is what brings him into Dr. Chloe Brody’s emergency room...and into her heart.

      I tend to write stories about people who have endured loss but find a way to move on and fall in love. This couldn’t be more true for Wyatt and Chloe, and I hope you enjoy reading their story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

       Chapter One

      Wyatt Kelley stood on the edge of the bucking chute, looking down at the monster bull. Beelzebub. From what he’d heard of the bull’s nasty attitude, the demonic name fit. Yeah, this had “easy ride” written all over it. The moment he mounted the two-ton bull, ol’ Beezy let him know exactly what he thought of having a rider by twitching, fidgeting, snorting. Basically saying, “Your butt is toast.”

      “I don’t think he wants to be your best friend,” said one of the cowboys manning the chute.

      “What?” Wyatt patted the bull on the side of his neck. “This little guy is a sweetheart. We’re going out for drinks afterward.”

      As if to disagree, Beezy stomped the dirt and shuddered beneath him, causing the bell hanging from the lower part of Wyatt’s bull rope to clang.
