Book excerpt: He's on a mission to find a wife but he's falling for the wrong woman. Former special ops soldier Treb Carson has returned to his ranching roots joining up with the New Horizon Ranch. Afghanistan and the loss of his brother have him ready to move forward into happier times-he's looking for love and to start a family. He’s not expecting to be captivated by Megan Tanner, the completely wrong woman for his plans. The workaholic, new veterinarian in town doesn't have marriage on her agenda and she’s made that clear, but he can’t get her or the kiss they share off his mind. Megan Tanner has her personal reasons for not believing in happily-ever-after, but now she’s moved to the hometown of the Matchmakin’ Posse of Mule Hollow. Avoiding their antics is easy for now, its calving season and that means no time for anything but work and building her vet practice. But then she’s blindsided by the smokin’-hot, ex-military cowboy and the immediate sparks she can’t deny or the kiss she can’t forget. Treb knows all the reasons why Megan isn’t the woman for him…but he can’t seem to stop himself. Now he’s determined to find out why Megan is so against falling in love and proving to her that she can trust him with her heart. And he’s got a certain three, nosy ladies on his side…can the “Posse” help this couple find their happily-ever-after?
