The Texas Stray

Mack Henry has loved Kells Miller since she walked into his first grade class, all blonde curls and sweet, lost eyes. The last thing he expected when he got down on one knee in front of his entire family to propose to her was that she’d say no. Now, can he be patient enough to wait for Kells to realize her best place is by his side, or will he have to find a way to live without her? Kells knows what it means to lose someone you love, so maybe avoiding that pain is why she turns down the one person who has always been there for her in order to move to the big city and try to make something of herself as a journalist. Except, the only job she can find is as the assistant to virile, worldly Hugh Camden, lead counsel at a big oil firm and the last man on earth a ＂good girl＂ should find herself attracted to. At least, that’s what Kells keeps reminding herself as she struggles to figure out just what she wants from life and which path will lead her to the one place God wants her to call home.
