Wish Upon a Cowboy
Cowboys of Creedence series, Book 4

About the book...
Hot on the ice and tall in the saddle…
Rancher and hockey coach Logan Rivers’ attempts to hire a housekeeper are hindered by women more interested in marriage than meal-planning. So when snarky Harper Evans arrives with zero romantic interest in him, he couldn’t be happier. But as he gets to know her, he finds himself hungering for more than her cooking.
Down-on-her-luck single mom Harper Evans came to Colorado with one goal: to find her son and bring him home. Temporary work for a local rancher seems perfect, but to keep the job she has to deny her feelings for the hot cowboy who’s heating up her kitchen.
Logan’s secret learning disability has caused a financial mistake that could cost him everything. With the holidays approaching and a storm closing in, he and Harper have to save his ranch and fight for her son. But can Harper trust the cowboy who is offering her both a home—and his heart?

~~~ EXCERPT ~~~
Logan walked
back to stand next to her, their shoulders not quite touching as they
looked at the tree together.
“I love the
star on top,” she told him. “Some people like to put an angel on
the tree, but I’ve always preferred the star.”
“Yeah?
Why’s that?”
“I don’t
know. I guess I think of the star as a promise of something amazing
ahead. Like the star the wise men follow in the Christmas story. They
don’t question it, they don’t second-guess it, they just believe.
And it led them to everything they would ever need. They didn’t
have to earn it or even deserve it. They just had to follow the star,
and the promise would be fulfilled.” The lights on the tree blurred
and transformed to tiny twinkling stars as she blinked back the tears
filling her eyes.
“Sorry. I
love the Christmas star the most, but I think stars in general are
amazing. They’re so far away, and we shouldn’t even be able to
see them, but we can. I think each one is like a little miracle, and
maybe they shine so brightly because they hold so many of our
wishes.”
She shook her
head. “Gosh, that sounded so dorky. I sometimes think sappy stuff
like this, but I don’t often say it out loud. I didn’t mean to
get all gushy.”
“It’s not
gushy at all.” Logan gazed up at the star. “We always put the
star on last, but I don’t know that I’ve ever really thought
about what it represents. But I like what you said, that the star is
a promise of something amazing ahead.”
They were
standing shoulder to shoulder and not looking at each other, but she
still felt as though they were seeing each other. As though here in
the glow of a hundred tiny, sparkling lights, they were each giving
the other a small piece of themselves, holding it out to see if the
other would take it and cherish it, or refuse it with scorn.
“I guess
I’ve always thought stars represented whatever it was that you
wanted,” he said. “Like your deepest desire. You know, you reach
for the stars like you’re going for something you really want.”
The back of his hand grazed hers, and his pinkie finger twined around
hers. “We’ve always used the stars to guide us. The night sky was
the original GPS. If you’re ever lost or can’t find your way, you
can use the stars to lead you home.”
His words
were doing nothing to quell the emotion building in her throat. She’d
always loved the Christmas star, loved what it represented, but she
didn’t think she’d ever said her feelings about it out loud. Or
maybe she had.
Her son loved
everything to do with space and the stars. She’d hoped to get him a
telescope for Christmas this year. He loved to learn about the stars
and the planets. One morning at breakfast, he’d told her he wanted
to be an astronaut, to fly into space and be among the stars.
Harper
remembered smiling and asking him why—and having her heart shatter
into a million pieces when he said it was so he could be with his
dad.
Thinking
about Michael and Floyd and all she’d lost had pain piercing her
heart. She missed them both so much. So much that she couldn’t see
the right path to take or the correct choices she was supposed to
make. She needed a star right now—needed something to guide her, to
lead her to her deepest desire. She felt more lost than she’d ever
been.
She stared
into the lights of the tree and prayed for guidance and wisdom and
for something to give her hope to hold on to. The ache in her chest
felt as if it might turn her inside out and swallow her whole.
She started
to tighten her hand into a fist and realized her fingers were now
completely entwined with Logan’s. A surge of warmth had flowed
through her a few seconds ago when his pinkie had gently looped
around hers, but when had she taken his hand? And why was she
squeezing it now as if he were the lifeline she’d been looking to
cling to?
A sob
threatened her throat, and she let go of his hand. She didn’t want
to cling
to anyone. She’d been down that road before, hanging on to other
people, holding to the idea that they would save her. But there was
no one to save her now. Not Michael, not her grandmother, and not the
tall cowboy standing next to her.
The only one
who could save her, and her boy, was her. The only one she could
truly count on to come through for her was herself.
