Читать книгу The Wrangler's Bride - Justine Davis - Страница 3

Dear Reader,

It’s said that you pick your friends but you’re stuck with your family. I suppose all of us have thought that at one time or another—some of us more than others—because along with them comes all the chaos families are capable of creating. Unlike many whose own families aren’t the most functional, I’ve been fortunate enough to acquire a marvelous one through marriage. It’s a very large, semirowdy bunch, with a dynamic that is fascinating to watch, and a history that could match even the Fortune clan for drama, tragedy and triumph.

Coming from a small family, I find large ones intriguing, if a bit intimidating. So I could relate to down-to-earth, only child Grant McClure’s situation, his rueful amusement and amazement at the dramatic family he found himself connected to by marriage. I was delighted to be able to do this story from his perspective, a look at the Fortunes through the eyes of a man who had never really felt like one of them, until an unexpected bequest taught him differently. Adding a heroine I could truly sympathize with, a burnt-out cop who has gone into retreat after the murder of her partner, and tossing in a clownish gentleman of a horse makes for an interesting brew.

No matter what kind of family you have, I hope you’re finding the Fortunes interesting and that you’ll enjoy this chapter in their saga.
