Carter
Remington Ranch Book Three I'm so excited to share Carter's story with you! So many of you have let me know that you have a soft spot for this guy. Me too! He's a big old sweetheart and he's found his perfect little lady in Summer. Carter Remington is a stand-up kind of guy. He leads a quiet life, running his landscaping business and working out at the gym. Family is one of his main concerns. He likes to make sure his brothers and his parents are all okay. He used to think he’d have a family of his own to take care of someday. But that dream died the day he found his wife in bed with one of the ranch hands.
He’s realistic about his options these days. He’s content. He doesn’t need or expect any more than that in life. At least not until his favorite country singer, Summer Breese, comes to stay in the valley. She’s his dream girl and even sweeter in person than she seems in the media. She even seems to like him, too! But what’s the point? She won’t be here for long. Carter can’t let himself fall for her. He knows it’ll break his heart when she has to leave. Summer Breese has come to Paradise Valley to recuperate. Her singing career was going from strength to strength until the day she found herself unable to speak above a whisper. Her doctors have recommended rest—for three months. Will three months be long enough to recover her voice, and will it be too long for her to resist, big, sweet Carter? |

Here's an excerpt for you...
When he was dressed Carter ran downstairs and went to help in the kitchen. It was crowded in there. Cassidy was helping his mom. Mason was sitting at the table talking to their dad who was washing his hands in the big farmhouse sink.
“What can I do?” he asked his mom.
She came over to him and cupped his face between her hands. “You can go sit on the porch and wait for that sweet little lady of yours to come back.”
He smiled at her. “Don’t get carried away, Mom!”
His dad turned and raised an eyebrow at him. “Why not?”
Carter shrugged. “Because, well, just because. Okay?”
His dad gave him a long, hard look. “Come on, son. It’s hard not to get carried away. This is the first time you’ve brought a woman to dinner here since…” He stopped.
“It’s okay, Dad. You can say it. Since Trisha. And you’re right. It is a big deal. Unfortunately for me, though, it’s not that big of a deal. Summer’s awesome. I’m not going to try to fool anyone and pretend that I’m not bowled over, but it’s not going to last.”
“You don’t know that!” cried his mom.
Carter smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. “I do, though. She’s only here for a couple of months. We’ve talked about it. We’re being realistic about it. We’re going to enjoy the time that we have, but we both know it’s all we’ll ever have. I’m okay with it.” He squeezed his mom’s shoulder gently. “I need for you to be okay with it, too.”
She looked as though she was about to argue with him again, but he shook his head. “I know you love me and you just want to see me happy. So do this for me? Don’t hold out for something that I know isn’t going to happen. Just let me enjoy it for what it is.” He smiled. “And help me pick up the pieces when she leaves?”
“Oh, Carter.” His mom wrapped him in a hug.
He gave Mason a rueful grin over her shoulder.
