      THE PERFECT CANDIDATE

      Single mom and aspiring perfectionist Becca Johnston is determined to be the next mayor of Cupid’s Bow, Texas. She can’t afford distractions like her new tenant, rugged rodeo champ Sawyer McCall. Having a good man around the house means so much to her young son, and Becca is definitely enjoying the handsome cowboy’s attention. But the election is too important to risk scandalous town gossip.

      Sawyer only planned on staying in Cupid’s Bow long enough to help with the upcoming centennial celebration, but with Becca and her son, he’s finally found home. When she treats him like he’s a dirty little secret, hiding him from her voters and her son, Sawyer is crushed. How can he convince her that love is the one thing she can’t control?

      Becca’s eyes widened. The gorgeous cowboy from the bar? What was he doing here?

      His mouth curled in a slow, satisfied smile.

      “Marc, you run along and take your shower,” she instructed.

      Her son, who was fairly well behaved for a second-grade boy, picked that moment to exhibit his rare rebellious streak. “Hi, I’m Marc.”

      The cowboy smiled as he came closer, his long-legged stride graceful and annoyingly mesmerizing to watch. “I’m Sawyer.”

      “Mr. Sawyer, do you like pizza?” Marc said.

      “As a matter of fact, I do.” Sawyer grinned.

      “Then you should—”

      “Marc! Scoot.” Becca tried to cut him off.

      “—have dinner with us,” her son invited.

      Becca bit back a groan; Sawyer’s eyes glittered with knowing humor as he met her gaze. He was amused by her discomfort, which did nothing to raise her opinion of him, but he had the decency to wait until her son was inside to laugh outright.

      “Well,” he said as the front door slammed, “at least one of you likes me.”

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome back to Cupid’s Bow! Or if this is your first visit to my fictional town, I’m so glad you’re here.

      The fun thing about returning to the same community over and over again is that the characters start to feel like family. I care about them and want them to be happy. When single mom Becca Johnston showed up in my first Cupid’s Bow book, Falling for the Sheriff, she was a strong-minded woman who knew how to get stuff done, practically running the town through all of her volunteer efforts and her work on the town council. Becca has really grown on me over time, and I wanted to make sure this take-charge heroine met a hero worthy of her.

      Enter rodeo cowboy Sawyer McCall, who needs a place to stay for a couple weeks and rents Becca’s attic apartment. In many ways, he’s Becca’s opposite, guaranteed to drive her crazy. But sometimes the person you didn’t know you wanted in your life is exactly who you need.

      I hope you enjoy Becca and Sawyer’s story and that you’ll come back to Cupid’s Bow! I’m already working on the next two books in the series. Follow me on Twitter, @TanyaMichaels, or like me on Facebook (AuthorTanyaMichaels) for updates about the series, anecdotes about my family and the writing life and to chat about favorite books and TV shows.

      Hope to talk to you soon!
