Читать книгу The Cowboy Next Door - Marin Thomas - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Welcome back to Stagecoach, Arizona! The Cowboy Next Door is the first story in my new six-book series for Harlequin American Romance. You may recall meeting Dixie’s brothers in A Cowboy’s Duty (August 2012). The Cash brothers were named after country-and-western legends by their deceased mother, whose lifelong search for her true love left each of her sons with a different father.

I love writing about the dynamics of family relationships and the drama that results in family members interfering in each other’s lives. In my new series, I’ll explore how growing up without a father has impacted the choices in life that each of the Cash brothers has made and the consequences of those choices.

As the firstborn son, Johnny grew up taking care of his siblings and has been accused on more than one occasion of acting more like a parent than a brother. Being overprotective of his siblings comes naturally to Johnny, but when a run-in with his sister’s best friend, Shannon Douglas, triggers lusty thoughts, he’s not sure what to do. Shannon doesn’t have a problem with their age difference—her issue with Johnny is that he thinks he can still tell her what to do, and she rebels when he tries to interfere with her goal of winning a national rodeo title. I hope you enjoy reading how Johnny and Shannon struggle to overcome the baggage from their childhoods and find their way as a couple.
