IT’S TIME TO DADDY UP!
For retired rodeo queen Poppy White, settling down in the picturesque little town of Stonewall Crossing, Texas, had seemed ideal. Until Toben Boone showed up on her doorstep. It had been a lifetime since their explosive one-night encounter in Cheyenne. Her son Rowdy’s lifetime. And she hadn’t heard a word since.
Toben was still easy on the eyes, still able to set her pulse racing—and still breaking the hearts of buckle bunnies all over the circuit, she had no doubt. But if he thought his boyish cowboy charm, dangerous dimples and baby blues were going to sweep her off her feet again, he was in for a big surprise. A big six-year-old surprise!
“This doesn’t need to be difficult, just let me tell him you are...you. Okay?”
Toben stared at her, her words making no sense. “You lost me.”
She glared at him, pure hostility rolling off her tiny frame. “Rowdy knows Toben Boone is his father. But you didn’t introduce yourself, so he doesn’t know you are Toben Boone. I’d rather have that conversation with him, alone. Like we’ve been for the last seven years.”
Toben felt numb all over. “Rowdy?” He swallowed, unable to breathe, to think, to process what the hell she was saying.
“That was Rowdy,” she repeated, her irritation mounting. She looked ready to rip into him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Poppy. But if you’re trying to tell me I’m a father...” He sucked in a deep breath, his chest hurting so bad he pressed a hand over his heart. “Don’t you think you waited a little long to tell me I have a son?”
Welcome back to Stonewall Crossing! The Boones (and I) are happy you stopped by! The brothers might be happily married, but there are plenty of Boones in need of a match.
Toben Boone spent his life avoiding love and commitment, and he didn’t think he was missing a thing. Of course, that’s when love normally comes knocking. Love, in Toben’s case, comes wrapped up in the feisty form of Poppy White. The one woman who made him feel something deep down in his heart.
Poppy White was ready to start her new life off the rodeo circuit. She and her son, Rowdy, can’t wait to make their little farm and Stonewall Crossing home. But running into the sweet-talking, lady-chasing, heart-breaking cowboy that left her high and dry when she needed help most is anything but a pleasant surprise. Having Toben Boone around stirs up all sorts of feelings, some good, some not so good, and she’s not sure what to do about it.
I adore this story—all the passion and hurt and fun and healing warmed my heart. I hope their love story speaks to you, too. Be on the lookout for Tandy’s book this winter. Nothing like a dreamy cowboy to warm things up on a cold night. I love to hear from readers, so drop me an email anytime at [email protected].
Thanks so much for reading!
