Lawfully Loved (Texas Lawkeeper Romance)
Page 11
Three kids? Kate shook her head and drew a line through that one. While she wanted kids one day, she didn't feel confident stepping into the role immediately.
‘Fifty-year-old Pastor 5 foot 8 180 pounds seeks wife for companionship and to lead women's socials at local church.’
A pastor's wife wouldn't be too bad, but the age difference was more than Kate could stomach. After all, she was barely twenty-five, which would make this man twice her age, and wasn't the lifespan shorter in the west? Knowing her luck, he would die shortly after she arrived, and she’d be left all alone.
‘Thirty-year-old bar owner 5 foot 7 140 pounds seeks wife and possible waitress.’
While this one was closer in age, Kate had no desire, or skills for that matter, to work in a bar.
The pickings were slim this month it seemed. Just one ad left.
‘Thirty-two-year-old farmer 5 foot 9 inches 180 pounds in search of brave woman to help on homestead.’
Well, she didn't know much about farming, but no one would say Kate wasn't brave. She had even taken shooting lessons with her brother and father.
Crossing her fingers this man wouldn't be a con man or an abuser, she made her way to the counter.

Acknowledgments
Since I can remember, writing is the only thing I love to do, and my deepest desire is to share my talent with others.
First and foremost, I am eternally grateful to Jesus, my lord and savior, who created me with this “writing bug” DNA.
In addition, many thanks go to:
My husband, Dustin, and three daughters, Katie, Julie, and Nikki, for loving me and supporting me during all my late-night writing marathons and coffee-infused mornings.
My mother, Connie, for being my first and most honest critic, now and always. As a little girl, sleeping under your desk during late-night deadlines for the local paper showed me what being a dedicated writer looked like.
My angels in heaven: my grandmother, who passed away in 2001; my infant son, Dylan, who was taken by SIDS four years ago; and my father, two years ago.
Lorana Hoopes for editing my book and being a wonderful critique partner.
To my Beta Bells for giving me insight and letting me know what to change and why. Your ideas helped make this a better book.
To my ARC Angels for taking the time to read my story and give valuable feedback.
To the Jenna Brandt Books Street Team, who have pounded the virtual streets on the internet, helping to spread the words about my books. Your dedication means a great deal.
To my partners in this adventure creating The Lawkeepers Series: Annie Boone, Kate Cambridge and Lorana Hoopes.
