He Came for a Beer. He Found His Wife.
About
Lane Maddox has spent fifteen years riding bulls, collecting championship buckles, and enjoying his freedom. At thirty-three, the infamous Texas cowboy has his ranch, his buddies, and a life he’s never felt the need to change. Then one Friday night at a crowded Texas honky-tonk, he sees her. One look, one smile, and suddenly Lane Maddox knows one thing with absolute certainty: that’s the woman he’s going to marry. His buddies think he’s lost his damn mind. Lane doesn’t care. He walks straight over, introduces himself, makes her laugh, and casually informs her that he intends to marry her someday. Then he asks her to dance. Lane has never believed in love at first sight. Now he’s a man on a mission to win a woman whose name he didn’t even know ten minutes ago. The cocky, sarcastic cowboy everyone knows quickly becomes hopelessly devoted. He craves her laughter, her touch, and every second she gives him. He calls just to hear her voice, remembers every little detail, and misses her before she’s even finished saying goodbye. With everyone else, he’s a guarded smart-ass. With her, he’s affectionate, vulnerable, clingy, and shamelessly soft. As Lane navigates the dangers of professional bull riding, he discovers that eight seconds on a bull are nothing compared to the terror of having something precious to lose. He wants the marriage, the home, the quiet mornings, and the lifetime of choosing her. But he knows forever must be built, not simply promised. Lane walked into that bar expecting another ordinary night. He walked out having found the woman he intends to love for the rest of his life. Now he just has to convince her that her ridiculously confident cowboy might be the best decision she’ll ever make.

He craves her touch, calls just to hear her voice, misses her within minutes, and constantly finds excuses to hold her.

Devotion: Lane remembers every little detail, brings her favorite snacks, checks on her, and makes her feel adored. He’s protective without being controlling and wants to be her safe place, never her cage. He openly communicates his feelings and never plays games or makes her question his commitment. Vulnerability: He’s fearless in the arena but terrified of losing the woman who becomes his whole world. With her, he learns to express his feelings instead of hiding behind jokes.

Intro
I nearly choke on my beer.
“You don’t know a dam thing about candles.”
My buddies burst out laughing, and I’m reaching for another smart-as remark when the bar door opens.*
Then I see her.
And just like that, my brain packs its sht and leaves.
“Boys,” I mutter, setting down my beer.
“I’ve found my wife.”
I follow Wyatt’s stare.
“You haven’t even met her!”
