Releasing October 4 th !
You know that old saying… He’s the next big thing.
Yeah, that was me. I was a rising star, and I couldn’t have been happier.

Fame, money, women at every turn. I had it all, until the day my world came crashing down.
I never fathomed this would be my life.
But here I am, a single dad at twenty-eight and I have no clue what I’m doing.
I pray every day I’m giving her the best life, 'cause it’s the only one I know.
The minute I lost everything and had nothing left to give.
Charlee showed up.
She restored my faith and gave us so much more than I ever deserved.
So can you tell me why I’m sitting here alone?
Every single day that goes by without them, I lose more of myself.
It’s hard to imagine a world they’re not part of.
So I pick up my old guitar and tell them both how I feel.
Turns out, lullabies aren’t just for children.

I take another minute to myself as the warm water runs over my shoulders and down
my chest. Honestly, I’m simply trying to waste enough time for the girl in my bed to
leave.
Turning the water off, I reach for a towel, only to be met with long, red nails. I pull
the curtain back to a naked body that doesn’t include mine.
“Mornin’.” I wrap myself in the cloth and step from the tub.
She crowds me as I try to reach for my toothbrush. “If I had known you were
showering, I could’ve joined you.”
“It’s a small space.”
She brushes her breast against me as she moves closer. “We’ve been in tighter
situations.”
“Yeah…” Before I can offend her, I’m saved. The front door opens and closes with a
slam. Followed by the voice of a saint.
“Hey, baby. Where are you?”
The redhead on my left turns a deep crimson. “You’re married?”
I shrug. “I’m in here, honey.”
“How dare you!” She snaps, grabbing my shirt from the floor and dragging it over her
head. “Let me out.”
“No problem.” I step to the side as she swings the door wide and runs into the other
redhead in the hall. Her mouth hangs as she stares at her before turning to me. “I look
just like her!”
“Not really.” I smirk.
“I am so sorry, he never said he was married.” She stumbles through to my room,
yanking her clothes on.
“I’m Reese. You are?” She crosses her arms with a smug look.
The redhead in the bedroom gapes at me when I don’t answer. “Aren’t you gonna tell
her my name?”
“I would…if I could remember it.”
Her face flames as I struggle not to giggle. “You are disgusting.”
“Yes, you are.” Reese place her fists on her side, playing along. My body jerks as I
fight laughing in her face.
“For the record, you’ve lost a fan.” She storms past us.
I jog after her. “Michelle, wait.” She turns to me, glaring. “See, I know your name.”
“What’s the point now?” She fumes.
“I was just wondering, are you still my number one fan?” Reese bursts into a fit of
giggles as I watch Michelle’s eyes as she plots my death.
“Fuck you!” She slams the door against the wall as she rushes out it.
“Dear Lord, will you ever learn?” Reese joins me as I walk into the kitchen.

The McKettrick's: by Linda Lael Miller

Image
   Linda Lael Miller is a talented writer. She brings us an entire family, from the frontier days to today. And not once does she skimp us on personality and flaws in her characters. Every person and animal in her books is completely unique and memorable. From Angus McKettrick, a rough and tough cowboy from the frontier days, to Bamboozal, the pony Austin got for his tenth birthday. I love this family. I can probably trace their family tree easier than my own, and they are fictional.    Aside from the awesome characters, Miller also gives us unique plot twist in each book. Of course they’re all ranchers, so the cowboy theme stays the same. Each book gives you new laughs, sorrows, and crazy events to keep you guessing. However, they all keep the family legacy in tact. While reading the books look for these things, McKettrick blue eyes, McKettrick pride, and the hand carved bed given to Lizze M. as a wedding gift from her father Holt.    Here’s a rundown of the McKettrick’s accordi
