Cole Slater is home to Cowboy Creek, New Mexico to help
his sister
Layne and his three-year-old nephew Scott. At eighteen
Cole became legal
guardian of Layne after both parents were dead. Layne is
pregnant and
turned out of her home by her husband with a divorce in
progress. It's
been five years since Cole has been to the Hitching Post
Hotel and Garland
Ranch, where he used to work for the owner Jedediah
Garland. Leaving
town and his job without looking back, he owes Jed an
apology for not
giving notice. Jed and Paz, the hotel cook, have ideas to
put into motion.
Paz kept it secret that her granddaughter was actually
Jed's as well until
Tina started school. Paz's daughter and Jed's son took
off and never
came back. Tina Sanchez is all grown up with a four-year-
old illegitimate
son named Robbie and works as Jed's bookkeeper. Jed's
greatest wish
is to get his three granddaughters married. Tina is
first! Jed gives Cole
another job on the ranch and it's a shock for Tina when
she sees the man
that shares her son's bright blue eyes. The instant he
sees the boy he
knows this is his son and the result of one impulsive
night of sex with
Tina. Enraged that she kept his son a secret, things are
strained between
the two of them and Tina avoids Cole at all costs. If
only she wasn't still
in love with the cowboy. Practically raised together and
attending school
together, Cole left town after their senior year of high
school before she
had a chance to tell him she was pregnant. Cole has
issues of hooking
up with this forever kind of girl from a history of being
branded worthless
by his abusive father. Tina's biggest fear is what will
happen to Robbie's
heart when his father walks from his life again---as well
as hers.
This talented author creates her stories with magic.
Filled with emotion
and forever romance, this young woman and her son will
steal your heart.
I was hooked at the first page and loved every bit of this
story. I have had
the pleasure of reading two previous stories from Barbara
White Daille
and she just keeps getting better and better with her
plots and characters
full of love. THE COWBOY'S LITTLE SUPRISE is a beautiful
story for the romantic at heart and lovers
seeking forever love.
A guy like Cole Slater is hard to forget. Tina Sanchez
should know—for years since high school she's tried to
bury the pain of Cole's cruel betrayal. But it's
impossible to ignore the man she sees reflected in her
young son's eyes now that Cole is back in her life—and
about to meet the child he never knew he had.
Returning home to New Mexico, Cole is determined to put
his playboy reputation to rest. Especially now that he
knows there's a little boy looking up to him. And seeing
Tina again reignites all the feelings Cole ran from as a
teen. Despite his fear that he can't be the man Tina
deserves, he's determined to try. For his son's sake—and
his own.
