TO TELL THE TRUTH...
Bridgett Jameson is the talk of Ramblewood...and not in a good way! With her newfound sister moving to town, her true father being exposed and the knowledge that her mother has lied to her since birth, Bridgett wants to get the heck out of Dodge. But when a handsome, mysterious stranger arrives, she finds her determination wavering.
His family wants nothing to do with him, and Adam Steele can’t say he blames them. He’s denied their existence for years in his pursuit of fame and glory. Now he just wants to be a regular guy. Ramblewood may be the best place for a fresh start...especially if Bridgett sticks around. But will exposing his past—and the lies he’s told—cost him a future with the woman he loves?
Bridgett tried not to stare at the man who’d just entered the luncheonette.
“Welcome to The Magpie,” she said, reminding herself to breathe.
He was definitely easy on the eyes—gorgeous brown eyes—almost familiar in a way, but she was positive she hadn’t seen him before.
“How may I service you today?”
Please tell me I did not say that!
Mortified, Bridgett closed her eyes and vainly struggled to keep a nervous laugh of embarrassment in check. She failed. “Let me try this again.”
“It’s okay,” he drawled. “I’m intrigued by your offer.”
If she’d thought his eyes were gorgeous before, they were downright intoxicating up close. And his voice reminded her of a song, but she couldn’t place which one. She needed a distraction, and this sexy newcomer had just claimed top billing.
Ever since I wrote Betting on Texas, the first book in the Welcome to Ramblewood series, I’ve wanted to give Bridgett Jameson her own book. The Magpie waitress is one of those small-town girls who has never been much past the town’s border. She refuses to settle for the average cowboy and figures she’ll recognize “the one” when she sees him. But who? I asked myself that question for over a year.
After an online chat with fellow Mills & Boon author, Sarah M. Anderson, I knew exactly who Mr. Right would be. Our late night Twitter banter sparked the idea for Back to Texas. Mix one country girl with a rebel newcomer who’s hiding from his notorious past and there’s bound to be some Texas-sized trouble.
Adam Steele is a departure from my usual cowboy heroes, but he quickly grew to become one of my favorites. Everyone has their own story to tell and often those stories are full of regrets. Adam certainly has a mile-long list of them. While life doesn’t allow for do-overs, sometimes all it takes is the kindness of strangers for us to begin again.

Epilogue
“Who do you think should play us in the movie?”
“Do actresses even come in your size?” Waitress Bridgett Jameson poured her newfound sister, Abby Winchester, another cup of coffee. She drummed her fingers on the luncheonette counter waiting for her next order. This wasn’t a conversation Bridgett wanted to have so early in the morning—let alone smack dab in the middle of The Magpie, where every word you said spread across town faster than a sneeze through a screen
