      The Cowboy’s New Family

      All veterinarian Darcy Leighton wants is a good life for her daughter. But when the vet practice she hopes to inherit is bought out from under her by newcomer Logan Maxwell, she stands to lose her position completely. Recovering from a bad breakup, the handsome cowboy wants a fresh start—one that doesn’t include working with a woman he’s undeniably attracted to. No stranger to heartbreak, Darcy has reservations of her own, but she can’t walk away from this job. She’ll just have to convince Logan to take a chance on her…and believe that what they have together is strong enough to last.

      “I don’t suppose you’d like to sell her.”

      Logan chuckled. “Charlie and Duster will never be sold.”

      “How about if I throw in my house? My car? Oh, wait. It doesn’t run. Just the house, then. I don’t have much else of value.”

      “Sorry. Not even your house.” Laughing, he brushed an errant strand of hair away from Darcy’s face. “But you and Emma are welcome to come out anytime to ride them.”

      “Tomorrow! Can we come tomorrow?” Emma begged. “Please?”

      “Probably not, sweetie. But maybe another time.”

      Emma didn’t speak a word on the way home and trudged silently from Logan’s truck to the front door.

      “Looks like we’re going to have a quiet evening,” Darcy said as she watched Emma go to the house. “Thanks so much for the wonderful day.”

      She impulsively gave him a quick hug and stepped back, suddenly feeling a little flustered and awkward at unexpectedly crossing that invisible line between friends and something more.

      Yet how could she regret something that felt so right?

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you so much for joining me in Aspen Creek once again! I’ve loved writing about this small town set in the beautiful river bluff country of western Wisconsin.

      This book in the Aspen Creek Crossroads series was great fun to write, because I love small towns, country life and animals. My husband and I live in just such a place—an acreage out in the country with our three horses, two beloved dogs we adopted from an animal shelter, and five exceptionally friendly cats who like to wind around my ankles when I head down to the barn to do horse chores.

      I love to hear from readers and can be contacted by snailmail at PO Box 2550, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401, or online at www.roxannerustand.com, www.facebook.com/Roxanne.Rustand, www.SweetRomanceReads.com, and www.pinterest.com/roxannerustand.

      Wishing you abundant blessings,

      Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

      —1 Corinthians 13:4–8

      With many thanks to my husband
