THIRD TIME’S A CHARM?
Retired bull rider Cole Davis was much more successful in the ring than in his relationships. 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. But when he overhears Devon Newberry being bullied by her pushy mother, he comes up with a plan to help the pretty shopkeeper.
Though Devon hates lying, the blue-eyed cowboy’s proposal of a fake relationship is working perfectly…until her feelings become all too real. She knows Cole’s heart isn’t available, but she can’t help hoping she can change his mind!
“Trust me when I say there are way worse things than pretending to date a pretty woman.”
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.
“Well, I better get home,” she said as she reached for the door handle.
“Wait,” he said. He hopped out of the truck and hurried over to her side to open the door.
“This isn’t necessary,” she said when she allowed him to hold her hand as she slipped out of the truck. “No one is around.”
He glanced beyond her for a moment then started to lower his head toward her.
Oh, my God! He’s going to kiss me. Her heart thumped hard.
But in the next moment, he whispered in her ear, “Your parents just walked out of La Cantina.”
“Oh,” she managed, perhaps a bit too disappointed.
Who was she kidding? She was disappointed. What had she gotten herself into?
Welcome back to Blue Falls, Texas, and another tale of happily-ever-after. The more I build and populate Blue Falls with characters, the more I grow to love it. These cowboys and ranchers and the women who love them while living amazing lives of their own are so real to me, and I hope it’s the same for you, the reader.
While The Cowboy Takes a Wife finally brings to fruition Blue Falls’s new Arts and Crafts Trail, which you’ve been reading about in the past few books, there are so many more stories of love in this Hill Country town to tell. As I write this letter, I’m already brainstorming new Blue Falls stories. I hope you are eagerly awaiting reading them as much as I am writing them.
I love to hear from readers. Let me know what you like about Blue Falls, maybe even whose story you’d like to see next. You can email me through my website at trishmilburn.com with your comments. And as always, thanks to the moon and back for your support.

Devon Newberry placed the skein of bright orange yarn and a dozen vanilla-scented candles in the paper bag and handed it across the counter to Merline Teague.
“Thanks so much,” Devon said as she smiled at the older woman, the mom of local sheriff Simon Teague and his two brothers.
“No, thank you, dear. Your candles keep the gallery smelling wonderful.”
“I’m glad. I need to get by there soon. I haven’t been in a while.”
“Oh, you should come by next week. We’re having an opening for a new exhibit of art created by students at the high school. I’m just in awe of the talent they have.”
