Iris Tatum could hardly wait to turn eighteen so that she
could finally marry her
high school sweetheart, Callum Stewart. Because of
Callum's less than
savory background, he made the decision to leave town to
enable Iris free
follow her dream of dancing in New York; something she
probably would
not be able to do if she married Callum. Never accepting
calls from Iris
again, she was distraught at never knowing why he left,
and on the same
night her beloved horse was hit and killed. Having to
disastrous losses
was nearly more than she could handle.
Five years later Callum is in Redbud Trails, Oklahoma
after spending the
past five years on the rodeo circuit, ready to partner
with a local harvester
and put down roots. But Callum has more than himself to
think of; he has
triplet sons in tow. After Iris's back injury she gave up
dancing to care for
her sister Jilly who has breast cancer. They inherited
their Uncle Joe's
farm and moved from under their difficult father's thumb.
Wade Tatum
has always hated Callum and would do anything to keep him
from Iris.
Being a paramedic came in handy for Iris after witnessing
a big truck
crashing into Callum's truck causing injury that puts him
in the hospital.
The biggest surprise is finding three-year-old triplet
boys in the back. With no
one to care for the triplets during his stay in the
hospital, Iris volunteers to
care for Brandt, Tyler and Levi at her farm. With
Callum's recovery, Iris
and Callum are both revisiting the past where the secrets
are reluctant to
reveal themselves. Iris is devastated that her father
would deliberately try
to frame Callum with charges of reckless driving to get
him out of town.
It's up to Iris to prove him innocent along with her hope
of resurrecting
what they once had.
Lacy Williams is a new author for me, but has definitely
left an impression.
The story of a young man from the wrong side of the tracks
who has
desperately loved a woman since high school and out of his
reach, is a
wonderful story. SECONDHAND COWBOY kept my interest and
my fingers turning the
pages one after the other and I was reluctant to put it
down. I thoroughly
enjoyed the mixture of emotion, lost love and especially
the ornery little
triplets that made this story what it is. Kudos to Lacy
Williams a talented author. I
hope to read more of her work in the near future.
From USA TODAY bestselling author Lacy Williams
comes a new contemporary cowboy romance:
Iris Tatum hasn’t seen her high school sweetheart
Callum
Stewart since he left years ago without a single word.
Then
she witnesses an horrific hit-and-run accident, and comes
face to face with her past–and Cal’s triplets. A volunteer
paramedic, Iris can’t walk away. No matter how much she
wants to.
Bull rider Callum Stewart was run out of town at age
twenty and vowed never to return. Only one thing could
bring
him back: building a future for his sons. Now, thanks to
the
accident that left him with a broken leg—he needs help to
care for his boys. He has no choice but to accept Iris’s
grudging help.
As they rediscover a friendship–and the sparks that
never faded between them–Callum’s secrets are brought back
with a vengeance. How can they keep the past from
destroying
their future?
