      Mr. Right-There-All-Along

      Since she was a teen, there’s been one guy that restaurateur Dani Pettit can always count on—her best friend, Nick. Their relationship is purely platonic…that is until a single kiss changes everything. Now Dani is falling hard for the one man she shouldn’t fall for—the one who can truly break her heart.

      Although rancher Nick Kelly knows he’s to blame for his string of failed relationships, Dani is the only woman he ever trusted. Nick doesn’t want to be just another guy who lets her down, but his new feelings for Dani are too strong to resist. Do they dare risk their lifelong friendship for a once-in-a-lifetime love?

      “We haven’t spoken in a couple days. Are we okay?” Nick sounded concerned.

      “Why wouldn’t we be?” Dani said, not feeling at all okay.

      “You sure about that? You seem tense. The other night—”

      “We shared a few kisses,” she interrupted, proud of her nonchalant tone. “They didn’t mean anything.”

      Only long, sleepless nights and the irritating problem of not being able to forget the feel of his lips on hers. Hot and soft…

      His relieved breath was loud and clear. “That’s good, because those kisses didn’t mean anything to me, either. I don’t want things between us to change because of them.”

      He had a funny way of showing it. “Me, either,” Dani admitted.

      During another long beat of silence, Dani racked her brain for something else to say, something to prove that she was fine.

      Before she could think of anything, Nick spoke. “How about we forget those kisses ever happened.”

      “Consider them forgotten.”

      Liar, liar, pants on fire. Dani touched her lips, which even now tingled a little.

      In this second book in my Prosperity, Montana miniseries, Dani Pettit is the heroine. You met Dani briefly in A Rancher’s Honor, the first book in the miniseries. But don’t worry if you haven’t read it yet. This is her story, and you’ll get to know her very well. Dani helps run Big Mama’s Café and has high hopes of taking over the reins—if her mother retires.

      Nick Kelly is a sexy rancher working hard to make his ranch profitable. Nick and Dani have been best friends since high school. They’re happy as friends. But when they step over the line one night…

      This is a romance you don’t want to miss!

      Enjoy!
