Sandy Appleyard

Found in Texas Sandy Appleyard

A woman he hates. A man she hates more. An unwanted child. And a man who tries to take it all away with one signature.

As soon as Zack Walters walked into that sticky bar, I knew he couldn't put a sentence together without effort. To my surprise, I've learned that he's not a man of many words. His actions speak much louder. He didn't know what he was getting into when he mixed with me. Truth is, I didn't know, either. That's been my life. A laundry list of troubles isn't what anyone wants, especially when it comes to one pint-sized person. It isn't what I signed up for. It isn't what Zack signed up for, either. But most important, it isn't what a child should have to go through alone.

She's silver-tongued, audacious, and a huge pain in my ass. But I was raised to help when help's needed. It's what I do. She thinks I'm a fool, and sometimes I believe her, but falling in love twice in the same week doesn't prove anyone wrong, least of all me. Despite the alarm bells going off all over, I can't stay away from these girls, and one of them won't let me leave. I just wish there were more guarantees. My brothers think that he'll take her away, and if he doesn't, with Kate's troubles, something else might. It's like a Euchre game. I just hope that my heart can trump their spades.

...little do I know that the Euchre game is going to be trumped by a blast going off on the day that my brother says his vows.
