Dear Reader,

Welcome to the third of three books starring a group of modern-day McKettrick men. Readers who have embraced the irrepressible, larger-than-life McKettrick clan won’t want to miss the stories of Tate, Garrett and now Austin—three Texas-bred brothers who meet their matches in the Remington sisters. Sidelined by an injury, bad-boy rodeo star Austin McKettrick fears he’s got nothing left to live for…until spirited nurse Paige Remington makes him dream of the happily-ever-after he hadn’t thought he wanted.

As I’ve said in earlier letters, I love all things Western: the landscape, the people and, of course, the stories. Especially stories with a lot of romance in them… There’s nothing like a cowboy, after all! I’ve set books in a number of different Western locales, including Texas (like these three books), Montana (the Parable series), Arizona (the Mojo Sheepshanks stories) and now Wyoming (the Brides of Bliss County, my newest trilogy).

I also want to remind you, my dear readers, about something else that’s extremely important to me and, I know, to you—animals, and our responsibility to them. We should all support our local shelters, and the best way to do that is to adopt your pets from them! I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping our pets safe—neuter and vaccinate them and make sure they’re properly identified, with microchips and/or tags. Encourage everyone you know to do these things, too. The animals in our lives bring us so much happiness; they’re the very definition of unconditional love. And we should treat them the same way!

I love you.

Acknowledgments

Every book presents its special challenges, as does every series. But some touch writers more deeply than others, and require more in terms of creativity, energy, depth of emotion. This trilogy, The McKettricks of Texas, was such an experience. There were times of soaring joy, of course; there was also a lot of difficulty. Without the help, patience and faith of my beloved editor, Joan Marlow Golan, and the constant encouragement of my agent, Irene Goodman, the books would have been far more challenging, if not impossible, to write. My love and heartfelt thanks to both of these impressive women.

EIGHT SECONDS.

Outside the world of rodeo, it was hardly any time at all.

Add two thousand pounds of ticked-off bull—aptly named Buzzsaw—to the equation, though, and eight seconds could seem a whole lot like forever.

Standing at the bar in a little backstreet, hole-in-the-wall dive a more prudent man would likely have steered clear of, Austin McKettrick reflected on the ride he’d made a few hours before and wondered why he didn’t feel more like celebrating.

For months now, ever since the first go-round with that particular bull, when he’d nearly been killed, Austin had thought about little else except riding Buzzsaw.

Now that he’d done it, and laid a demon or two to rest in the process, he was fresh out of worthy objectives.

A flicker in the mirror behind the bar drew Austin’s attention; he adjusted his hat and scanned the shadowy width of the glass with an imperceptible movement of his eyes.

Shit, he thought as he watched his brothers, Tate and Garrett, approach.

They were both cowboys, lean and tall, with broad shoulders and Clint Eastwood attitudes. Folks just naturally stepped out of their way.

Without turning around, Austin lifted his mug and took a long, slow sip of beer.

Tate, the eldest of the three, bellied up to the bar on Austin’s right, while Garrett took the left side, both of them crowding into his space. As if he might not have noticed them otherwise. He grinned to himself and adjusted his hat again.

Pinky, the bartender, a woman in her mid-seventies with her hair plaited into a long gray braid and skin that glowed with good health behind a veil of wrinkles, appeared right away.

“What’ll it be?” she asked, her gaze moving from Tate’s face to Garrett’s, but slipping right on past Austin’s as if he weren’t there.
