The Cowboy's Twin Surprise. Stephanie Dees

      

      Can this rodeo star handle fatherhood?

      Anything can happen with Triple Creek Cowboys

      Despite his too-rowdy past, former rodeo star Devin Cole’s stunned when the woman he married after a whirlwind romance shows up pregnant with his twins...demanding a divorce. He convinces barrel rider Lacey Jenkins to give him six months to show he’s changed. But proving he can be a champion husband and father is the hardest—and most important—challenge he’s ever faced.

      Award-winning author STEPHANIE DEES lives in small-town Alabama with her pastor husband and two youngest children. A Southern girl through and through, she loves sweet tea, SEC football, corn on the cob and air-conditioning. For further information, please visit her website at stephaniedees.com.

      “I’ll sign the divorce papers on one condition, Lacey.”

      Devin took a deep breath. “You stay here at the ranch until the babies are born. Afterward, if you still want me to, I’ll sign.”

      “Devin, I have a life—a family—in Oklahoma. I have to go home.” Lacey pushed to her feet. “It’s a wild idea.”

      “It probably is, but that’s the deal.” Devin forced himself to relax.

      “You know I could take you to court anyway.”

      “I know, but I’m really hoping you won’t. Give me a chance to show you that I can be a better person. That I can be a man who’ll show up for his family. If you don’t stay, you’ll never know.”

      There were twin spots of color high on Lacey’s cheekbones. “I need some time to think about this.”

      “You can have all the time you need.”

      Devin prayed that once she gave it some thought, she would want to stay. And he would have a second chance...

      Dear Reader,

      Life is complicated. We make decisions with consequences. Things happen and we’re left to deal with them the best we can. That’s the case with Lacey and Devin. Their situation was their own doing—and they took responsibility—but their actions had their roots in the past, for both of them. The moment Lacey showed up in Red Hill Springs was a touchstone in their life, one of those rare instances when you know that what you choose to do in this moment could change your future forever.

      I’ve had defining moments like that. Some of them I didn’t know were turning points until later. Some I knew immediately would change my life. Some I’ve accepted with grace and some I have raged against. I try to remember every single day—because we have no idea when one of those life-changing moments will happen—that no matter what storms come I’m loved by God and His love is not conditional. His opinion is the one that matters. And no matter what I’m walking through, I know He’s there, walking with me.

      I know you’ve had to face unexpected challenges in your life. I’ve come to realize (with maturity, ha-ha) that everyone does. No one has a perfect life. But regardless of our circumstances, we can make
