FROM PLAYBOY COWBOY TO...DADDY?
Bronc rider Gunner Hardell never plans past the next stop on the rodeo. When he’s home in Stampede, Texas, he’s part-time manager of the run-down Moonlight Motel, to get his crotchety grandpa off his back. Then he meets interior designer Lydia Canter—hired to renovate the motel—and suddenly the gig gets a whole lot more appealing...
Lydia is looking for love, but there’s nothing wrong with some Mr. Right Now while she waits for Mr. Right. But one steamy night with Gunner has unexpected consequences. And she would rather raise their baby alone than give the good-time cowboy a chance to break her heart. When Gunner learns he’s going to be a daddy, he’s determined to prove to Lydia he really is her Mr. Right!
“The right man for you isn’t on a dating site.”
“How do you know?” Lydia retorted.
“I know because...” The tender expression in Gunner’s eyes rocked her back on her heels. “You’re a special lady in a category all by herself.”
After all the teasing and mocking, Lydia wasn’t sure she believed him.
“And,” he continued, “if you open yourself up to new experiences, you might discover that what you thought you wanted in a man isn’t what you want after all.”
“What kinds of new experiences are you talking about?”
“Ever had a fling?”
She sucked in a quick breath. “No.”
The air sizzled between them. Gunner Hardell wasn’t her type—wasn’t even close to the guys she’d been paired with on savvymatch.com—but there was no denying they were attracted to each other.
His gaze warmed and he tilted his head to the side so the brim of his cowboy hat didn’t bump her in the face.
“This isn’t a good idea,” she said, hoping like crazy that he hadn’t heard her.
I’ve never tried an online dating site but I have friends and relatives who’ve joined them and found their perfect match. Those who didn’t... Well, their dating stories would make great fodder for a book! As humans, we are always searching for perfection, for that one person who possesses characteristics and qualities we believe are a perfect match for us.
Needless to say, Gunner Hardell doesn’t come close to the perfect match Lydia Canter is looking for in a husband. And Lydia’s not the kind of woman laid-back cowboy Gunner is looking to have a long-term relationship with. Lydia and Gunner have their lives all mapped out until a night of fun leaves them grappling with an unplanned pregnancy.
I hope you enjoy watching Lydia and Gunner struggle to do what they believe is in the best interests of their child, only to discover that what they think they want isn’t what they really need.
