More Than a Little Spark

A car crash. A cowboy. And a moody tween. That's how my happily-ever-after starts.

I'm dressed as Daphne from Scooby-Doo and headed to a costume party when a speeding car clips mine and sends it rolling. I end up upside down on the side of the road. A cowboy in a Magnum PI costume pulls me out, carries me to safety, and stays with me all the way to the hospital.

Until meeting Carson, I always thought the spark was just figurative. Nope. Real tingles.

He's cautious — turns out he recently adopted his nephew and is figuring out how to be a dad to a preteen. That only makes me like him more. We take it slow, date in secret for a while, and the little spark turns into more.

When it's clear this isn't a passing infatuation, he introduces me to Fred.

And the kid doesn't like me.

How do I get him to understand that I don't want to divide their little family? I just want to become part of it.

Is it even possible to get a tween boy to change his mind? I hope so. My happily-ever-after depends on it.

More Than a Little Spark is a sweet, closed-door romantic comedy about a woman who finally felt the spark, a cowboy learning to be a dad, and a moody tween who holds all the cards. Book nine in the Cowboys of Stargazer Springs series.
