Willa Longworth
Willa was a woman with one chance at destiny and she wasn’t going to let a man—or her longing for him—get in her way…or was she?
“Life’s like the weather. You can never be sure of it. That’s the miracle, don’t you see?”
Luke McKade
He had done all the right things for the wrong reasons—until he met Willa. From that moment, his life would never be the same.
“You owe me a romp in the hay, Mrs. Longworth.”
Little Red Longworth
This ailing heir wanted someone to care for him during his final days. He found an angel in Willa…and a wife.
“I went to kill me a lawyer and a bastard brother. I got a wife.”
Hesper Longworth
The spiteful sister-in-law doesn’t want Willa to get a single red cent.
“Your unfortunate past is hardly my concern, Willa dear. I’m here to buy you out.”
Brandon Baines
A powerful lawyer with an ego the size of Texas and a dangerous need to keep things—and Willa—quiet!
“It’s just me and you, sweetheart. We’re all alone in the middle of nowhere. Now, where’s the money?”

I want to thank the following people:

To Chris Misner and Greg McKee for telling me about the computer business
To Patricia Patterson for streamlining my business affairs so I can write
POEM
If I were alone in a desert
And feeling afraid,
I would want a child to be with me.
For then my fear would disappear
And I would be made strong.
This is what life in itself can do
Because it is so noble, so full of pleasure
And so powerful.
But if I could not have a child with me
I would like to have at least a living animal
At my side to comfort me.
Therefore,
Let those who bring about wonderful things
In their big, dark books
Take an animal—perhaps a dog—
To help them.
The life within the animal
Will give them strength in turn.
For equality
Gives strength in all things
And at all times.
—Meister Eckhart (1260–1329)
(Author’s note: As a cat lover, I change dog to cat. When I go alone into my imagination to write, Kanka, my cat, goes with me to help by sitting on my manuscript.)
