      Always an early riser, Brooke was up and dressed by seven.

      After finding Trent’s note from under her door, telling her to come to the Quinns’ kitchen for breakfast, she realized she was anxious to see him again. Of course, it was only to find out if he’d heard from Rory. Maybe the family was coming home today. Maybe she’d be meeting them in a few hours.

      She drove the short distance up the driveway to the house and parked her car. She hated imposing on Trent Landry again, but he was her only connection to the Quinns.

      “Come in,” the familiar voice called.

      Once inside, she immediately smelled bacon cooking and her stomach growled in anticipation.

      Standing at the stove, Trent was dressed in faded jeans and a snug black T-shirt. Oh, boy. The man was handsome, maybe not in a traditional way, but definitely in a rugged cowboy way. If you liked the cowboy type.

      He tossed her a half smile. “Good morning.”

      Her insides fluttered. “Morning.”

      “Coffee’s on the counter.” He nodded toward the large coffeemaker.

      “Oh, thank you.” Maybe the caffeine would bring her to her senses.

      Dear Reader,

      I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about my new home with Mills & Boon American Romance. There’s nothing I love more that writing my Western stories, and Colorado is one of my favorite places, along with Texas, Montana and Wyoming.

      This new Western series, Rocky Mountain Twins, is close to my heart since twin sisters Brooke and Laurel’s mother, Coralee, suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

      In the first story, Count on a Cowboy, Brooke discovers she has a twin sister, Laurel, who’s been raised by their father, Rory Quinn. Brooke goes to search for her in the small town of Hidden Springs, Colorado. Her mother’s wish is to see the daughter she gave away.

      When Brooke arrives at the Bucking Q Ranch, she meets handsome neighbor Trent Landry, and discovers her sister has gone to Denver. He convinces her to stay and makes her feel at home. Brooke can’t help but wonder if her father and her sister will be as welcoming and include her in their family.

      This story is all about finding that place to belong. I hope you enjoy it.

      Count on

      a Cowboy
