      A DOSE OF DOUBLE TROUBLE!

      Whether it’s eight seconds on a bronc or the thrill of his motorcycle, bull rider Brock McNeal lives for the adrenaline high. A family of his own is out of the question. So why is he irresistibly attracted to widowed doctor Cassie Stanford? Because for all her feistiness and mess of dark curls, Cassie comes with a lot of strings. Including identical twin four-year-old sons!

      Yet as Brock helps Cassie fix up her run-down ranch, the sparks between them ignite. They both know Cassie could never get serious about a cowboy who chases danger. But when love takes on a life of its own, Brock faces the biggest risk ever: choosing between his rodeo life...and his heart.

      “It seems we’re both terrible at controlling ourselves, huh?”

      Cassie shook her head and moved even closer to Brock. “I’m done controlling myself,” she said.

      Brock moved back just enough to look her straight in the eyes.

      “I got some good advice today. If I wait until the boys are grown to do anything for myself, it might be too late, and I don’t want that. It won’t hurt them if I’m a little selfish and impulsive for the next nine days.”

      “Nine days,” Brock repeated, though Cassie couldn’t quite tell what emotion he was feeling when he said it.

      She nodded resolutely, as much for herself as for him. “Until the rodeo. We can work on the house, and in the small snatches of time when the boys aren’t around, we can do...more grown-up activities.”

      Brock smiled.

      “We better make them a good nine days.”

      Dear Reader,

      A new book is always an exciting and nerve-racking challenge, but starting a new book in a new series in an entirely new line takes it to a whole different level. Oh, and don’t forget the rambunctious toddler who just loves to press buttons on my laptop!

      Suffice it to say, writing this book taught me a lot about myself, and I’m thankful for all of the people who helped, especially my husband and my amazing editor, Johanna.

      Despite the challenges, I can’t wait to write more novels set in little Spring Valley, and I’m happy there are so many characters left whose stories need to be told. I look forward to writing them and giving each of them the happily-ever-after they deserve.

      The McNeals—a family of adopted siblings, a meddling mother and a sweetheart father—have stolen my heart. I hope they do the same to you.

      Happy reading,

      Ali

       Chapter One

      Brock McNeal breathed deeply, moving his body in time with the jumping, twisting animal beneath him, and counted the seconds. Six...seven...eight.

      The whistle sounded and he jumped off the bucking bull as bullfighters surrounded them, rolling to his feet and away from the large animal.

      Brock soaked in the roar of the crowd. It hadn’t been a great ride, he knew, but he’d hung on to Big Tex, one of the wildest bulls he had ever faced, and the audience was showing their appreciation. He tipped his hat to them and slid a wink over to a group of buckle bunnies holding signs, their skintight clothing leaving little to the imagination.

      He almost didn’t hear the shouts behind him as he basked in the glow of the crowd, but
