Sister Golden Hair Surprise and the Cruiser

By Linda Palmer

Jilly is camping with her dad and triplet older brothers when something falls out of the sky, literally, and lands at her feet. Is it a bear? A mountain lion? No, it's a guy named Tye, and his story is even crazier than  his tumble to earth.

Linda Palmer

Linda Palmer admits it all started when she fell in love with Roy Rogers in the fifties. The family TV was boxy; the picture was black and white. That didn't matter. Roy's cowboy courage won the day and inspired her to  create elaborate scenarios when playing with her sisters and friends outside. Indoors, she read romances in every genre from Sci Fi to Gothic. Linda began writing for pleasure in the third grade, mostly poetry, and has letters from her grade school teachers predicting she'd be an author. Her poems eventually became short stories; her short stories became books. And even though a writing career was never actually a dream, it was something she pursued with intent after winning some writing contests and joining local and national writers' groups. Silhouette Books published Linda's first romance novel in l989 and the next twenty over a ten-year period (writing as Linda Varner, her maiden name). In 1999 she took a ten-year break to take care of her family, but learned that she couldn't not write. She began again in  2009, changing her genre to young adult/new adult paranormal romance. She has now written over a hundred novels and novellas ranging from traditional romance to erotica. Linda was a Romance Writers of America Rita finalist twice and won the 2011 and 2012 EPIC eBook awards in the Young Adult category. She was also a finalist in that category in 2013 and in 2014. Linda has been married to her junior high school sweetheart over fifty years and lives in Arkansas, USA with her family. Ever a hopeless romantic, she still falls for unattainable Hollywood heroes that inspire her to write romances about alpha males and the women who stand up to them. Linda hints that her current crush's name starts with Tom and ends with Hardy. Her website is www.lindavpalmer.com. You can also find her on Facebook: Linda Varner Palmer.

I loved camping with my dad and big brothers, so when they decided to hit the hiking trails during Christmas break, I was all for it. Growing up with triplets hadn’t been a breeze, but I had to give them credit. As big brothers went, they weren’t so bad, and I’d missed them terribly during the six months since they’d all moved away and gone to separate colleges.  I hoped that while we sat around the campfire tonight, I’d hear something that would explain the odd looks I’d been getting from them since they got home.

Daniel drove us in Dad’s SUV.  I sat up front with him for a change. Adam and Dad rode in the back seat, which left Peter wedged between the tent and ice chest on the third-row seating even though it made more sense for me—the smallest person on board—to sit there. While my brothers caught up on each other, I did my best not to laugh. They acted as if they’d been apart for years instead of a few months. Since they texted one another when they were in the same room, I was pretty dang sure they'd kept in constant touch.  Clearly, it was a triplet thing.

The rolling hills blazed with color. The oranges, golds, and reds made me want to grab my digital camera even though I knew a photo would never do them justice. Adam, the planner of the bunch, had reserved us a
