Gabriel McKenna
is living the dream. A rising country music star he’s no stranger to fame,
money, or beautiful women. Despite his bad boy image, he’s also got a heart of
gold, and when his ten-year-old brother is orphaned, he wants to take him under
his wing. But the judge on the case is less than impressed by Gabe’s reputation
and awards custody to the grandfather Gabe knows firsthand is abusive.
Michaela Finn is
no stranger to heartache. Years ago she was engaged to Gabe McKenna, but two
days before their wedding he ran off to Nashville with a female talent scout.
Now Gabe is back in her life with an insane plan. Marry him, so he can get
custody of his younger brother. Michaela can’t bear to think of any child being
hurt, but she’s just not sure her heart can carry a happy tune when Gabe is
playing lead…
“Okay.” Michaela breathed the word.
“You’ll marry me?” Gabe didn’t
bother hiding his surprise.
She drained her
glass with a wince. “Damn, I’ve never liked champagne.” Michaela headed for the fridge. “Do you have any beer in here?”
He was more
uncertain now than he’d been before he started thinking about this crazy idea. “Yeah. Lone Star. Get me one,
too.” When she turned with the longneck bottles in hand, he chuckled. “A two hundred dollar bottle of fine French
bubbly, but we’d rather drink Texas beer.”
“I’m a country
girl, Gabe. You’ve always known that.” She handed him one of the
bottles. “I’ve actually been thinking the same thing--that if I were married the judge would’ve given me Jesse. But the only man I can
think of is Cash Nelson.” She twisted the top off the beer and took a long draw. “But he would read too much into the
agreement. I never considered you.
Hell, the whole town knows I can’t even stand you. How is this gonna work?”
Gabe didn’t like
the way his heart pinched at her words. He tossed the cap from his beer beside hers on the island top and
took a drink. “We’ll have to convince them otherwise. We have a history and we’ve been working together”--he grinned as
he remembered the custody hearing--
“or against each other for weeks now. Everyone knows there’s a fine line
between love and hate.”
Although Sara Walter Ellwood has long ago left the farm for
the glamour of the big town, she draws on her experiences growing up on a small
hobby farm in West Central Pennsylvania to write her contemporary westerns.
She’s been married to her college sweetheart for over 20 years, and they have
two teenagers and one very spoiled rescue cat named Penny. She longs to visit
the places she writes about and jokes she’s a cowgirl at heart stuck in
Pennsylvania suburbia. Sara Walter Ellwood is a multi-published and
international Amazon bestselling author of the anthology set Cowboy Up. She
also publishes paranormal romantic suspense under the pen name Cera duBois.
