The Cowboy Takes a Wife by Trish Milburn

Who was she kidding? She was disappointed. “Oh,” she managed, perhaps a bit too disappointed. Her heart thumped hard.īut in the next moment, he whispered in her ear, “Your parents just walked out of La Cantina.” He glanced beyond her for a moment then started to lower his head toward her. “This isn’t necessary,” she said when she allowed him to hold her hand as she slipped out of the truck. He hopped out of the truck and hurried over to her side to open the door. “Well, I better get home,” she said as she reached for the door handle. Had Cole just called her pretty? Even if he wasn’t thinking romantic thoughts toward her, that simple comment filled her with a joy that wasn’t wise but which there was no stopping. “Trust me when I say there are way worse things than pretending to date a pretty woman.” She knows Cole’s heart isn’t available, but she can’t help hoping she can change his mind! Though Devon hates lying, the blue-eyed cowboy’s proposal of a fake relationship is working perfectly…until her feelings become all too real. But when he overhears Devon Newberry being bullied by her pushy mother, he comes up with a plan to help the pretty shopkeeper. Twice divorced, he’s come home to work on the family ranch and build his budding art career-and steer clear of anything serious when it comes to women. Retired bull rider Cole Davis was much more successful in the ring than in his relationships.
