Book One

By Anne Marie Beck

I hope you enjoy my new book series Love Wears a Stetson. This book series is a little out of the norm for me, but my goal with this series is to show that there is more to individuals than meets the eye. Alpha males, sarcastic, wise asses and headstrong females are not always what they seem. It will show that beneath all the male blustering, wise-cracking and outspoken voices, a warm and caring individuals lives.

I would like to thank my family and fans for all their support without them I wouldn’t be able to do what I love.

Love Anne Marie

~*~ Chapter 1~*~

Kenna was only r ten miles away from home now. A home she hadn’t seen in years. But with everything that had happened to her over the last six months, she had no choice now but to running home to daddy with her tail between her legs. Just a small defeated puppy that life had kicked hard in the butt.

Kenna Jamison could not believe how fast her life had turned to crap. Just last year, she had everything she had ever wanted. Her life had been perfect or at least that was what she had kept telling herself. She had a wonderful career as a personal assistant, she live in a gorgeous mansion, and she was even lucky enough to work for the man she talked herself into believing she loved. Oh yes, She had had it all. She had been on top of the world. But as the saying goes, what goes up, must come down. And in Kenna’s case, her world had crashed and burned all around her.

No matter how many times she went over it in her mind, she just could not figure out how she had been so blind to the truth? All the warning signs had been screaming at her, but she had chosen to ignore them. No matter how many times they told her something was wrong, she stupidly turned a blind eye to them. To be honest with herself, she had known that her relationship wasn’t going to last. How could it, when she was still in love with someone who didn’t know she even existed. Oh yeah, there was no doubt that she had to be the world’s biggest fool.

Just as she passed a mile marker that indicated to her she was only about ten miles from home, two things happened at once. First her heart started pounding in her chest with anxiety. The thought of having to crawl back home after all these years as a failure almost made her turn the car around. Second, a steady stream of steam started billowing out from under the hood of her piece of crap used car. The steam was quickly followed by the car’s engine clanking, clunking loudly. It did not take her long realized that the pity party she had been starting to throw for herself was now in need of a serious upgraded. Oh yeah, it was now a full-blown pity party gala event.

Damn, damn, double damn. Why me? Why now? You only had another ten miles to go.

If she had a stick of dynamite on her, she blow up the piece of crap car. She’d only owned the car for last week a week, buying it specifically for this trip. The car was a huge boat of a vehicle and knew it would hold all her many belongings.

She’d been dreading making this trip, but left with no other avenue to turn; she had no choice. Now, she was running back home to daddy, like some snot-nosed child.

She had broken down and called her dad yesterday, telling him she was coming home. She just conveniently forgot to mention that the visit would be today and was going to be a permanent one. His voice had told her he was suspicious and had questions. But she was glad he had chosen to wait until they were face to face before his interrogation started.

She just had to find a way to tell him that his precious little daughter, the same daughter he was so proud of, had turned out to be the world’s biggest failure?

Coming back home, brought other problems as well. And even though she tried to block him out of her mind, she knew she would have to deal with the world’s most stubborn man eventually. Trouble, wearing a Stetson and cowboy boots is what Wyatt Walker was. Six long years ago, he had been the reason for her moving to California. Yes, he’d been the love of her life all through her teen years. But the fact that he was her brother’s best friend only made things uncomfortable and awkward. He was the only man she had ever wanted to notice her. And he was the one who acted like she didn’t even existed, other than being the annoying little sister of his friend.

Yeah, moving to California, that had been a great decision. NOT!

Now here she was, only ten miles away from her childhood home, and her car decided to break down right out here in the middle of nowhere. Stranded and out of choices, she picked up her cell phone. As soon as she picked the blasted device up, her heart sank. Her battery had passed away sometime during the early hours this morning. She did her best to give the phone, cell CPR as she turned it off and back on, but there wasn’t even a single spark of life in the blasted thing. There wasn’t any she could call her dad or brother for help.

Yup, life sucks.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Even though it was early June; the late morning sun was starting to beat down on her old station wagon, changing her old car from a mode of transportation to an oven in just a few minutes. The heat caused sweat to rolling down her forehead, as she struggled to roll down all the windows in an off chance to lower the temperature inside the car that had to be pushing close to a hundred degrees at this point.

Opening the driver’s side door, Kenna stepped out into the blaring sun. Oh yeah, this was so much better. Turning, she slammed the door shut with a lot more force than was necessary. The door bounced back at her, in protest of her abuse and connected with her knee.

Oh yeah, this day just would keep getting better and better.

Totally exasperated to no end, she kicked the door several times, with her good leg. Finally, the door gave up the fight and decided to close. Abusing the car didn’t help the car to run again, but it gave her an outlet for her frustrations.

Walking around to the front of the car, she opened the hood and stared silently at the engine in confusion. A small stream of steam was still bellowing from the radiator. With her limited knowledge of automotive mechanics, she was lucky she knew what the radiator looked like.

Glancing down the deserted hot Montana road, she swore to herself. It was clear; she might as well make herself comfortable somewhere out of the hot pounding rays of the sun because she knew she was in for a long wait.

After about a half hour in the blaring sun, Kenna finally heard a vehicle coming down the country road. Jumping up from the passenger seat of her old station wagon, she rounded the back of the car. Kenna spotted a large red Ford 4x4, headed straight towards her. If she were not so dehydrated from the heat, she would have wept with joy.

The truck was splattered with mud a sure sign; the truck was local. Maybe she would be in luck for the first time in months and know the driver. She stepped to the side of the road and started waving her arms like a mad woman above her head. She just prayed that she would be able to draw the driver’s attention.

As the truck passed by her, it began to slow down. If she had had any energy left in her, she would have started to jump for joy when the truck stopped just passed her hunk of broken down junk. Kenna sent up a big thank you to the heavens above, as she watched the driver’s door open. She watched a tall cowboy step out of the cab and stepped onto the gravel that lined the edge of the country road. The only thing she could see at this point
