“I have never in my life loved anyone as I do you. And I will never love another.”
Maybe Prince Charming was right there all along. Hiding in plain sight. Journey with Tyler to Happily Ever After in Diary of an Engaged Wedding Planner, Volume 3 in Tales Behind the Veils. #weddingstories #romanticwomensfiction #weddingstories #books #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #romancebooks #romance #talesbehindtheveils

MAGGIE. TALES BEHIND THE VEILS. VOLUME 4.

The first time Maggie fell in love, it started with a broken toe and ended with a broken heart.

At nineteen, she was too naïve to heed the warning signs, and she raced blindly down a path that destroyed her soaring ballet career and pushed her to close herself off to any romantic interest.

Thirty years later, Maggie’s first glimpse of rancher Dax Pearson makes her heart stutter in an all-too-familiar way.

This time, she’s determined to keep a tight rein on the impulse to throw away her hard-won independence.

She’s not looking to get herself roped in by a handsome face, but Dax’s winning charm and gentle touch gradually begin to work their magic, and soon Maggie’s tempted to once again attempt the dance of love.

Letting go of the past isn’t easy, though, especially when it has choreographed her life for so long. Breaking free of its familiar rhythm could expose her deepest shame…and shatter her heart beyond repair.

MAGGIE is Volume 4 in my Tales Behind the Veils series, but you can read this story all by itself.

Even though MAGGIE is Volume 4 in the Tales Behind

Even though MAGGIE is Volume 4 in the Tales Behind the Veils series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. Either way, it is a roller coaster ride of emotions with parallel love stories that prove love is a risk no matter what age you are.
—————————-
I’ve fallen in love twice in my life.

The first time, I was nineteen. Naïve. Passionate. Willing to believe fairy tales existed.

The choices I made for love back then ruined my ballet career, destroyed my dreams, and left my heart shattered. I survived by closing myself off to any possibility of repeating the same mistakes.

This time, I’m forty-nine. Older. Wiser. Unwilling to give up my independence and risk losing myself again.

But this city girl has never danced with a cowboy before, and his rugged good looks and gentle charm are threatening to tumble the walls I’ve built around my fragile heart.

The past has a way of coming back around, though, and sometimes we can’t escape the mistakes we’ve made.

“What do you recommend?” I asked.

“A little bit of everything. You won’t know what you like until you try it.”

I handed him back the menu. “Then surprise me.”

His eyebrows raised a bit, but his smile grew wider. “Okay. I like it. How adventurous are you?”

“I’m here, aren’t I?”

He chuckled. “Any allergies? Major dislikes?”
I shook my head and he continued. “You want a drink? They have cucumber water.”

The thought of him sipping cucumber water was too much for me, and my laughter bubbled up and out of me before I could contain it.

“What? What’s funny about cucumber water?” he asked.

“Nothing,” I replied, clearing my throat and trying not to laugh again. “I’m sure it’s wonderful. Let’s have cucumber water.”

“It’s good for you.”

My laughter bubbled up and out again. “I’m sure it is. I would love to have some. I’m looking forward to it. I never knew cowboys drank cucumber water.”

“Oh,” he said with a smirk. “I reckon cowboys drink whatever they want to. I thought you didn’t know many cowboys.”

“I don’t.”

He leaned forward and grinned. “Then how do you know what cowboys drink?”

I laughed again, surprisingly relaxed and at ease with our banter.

“I don’t. Obviously.”

From MAGGIE, Volume 4 in Tales Behind the Veils. MAGGIE is a standalone story featuring a 49yo heroine dipping her toes in the dating pool for the first time in years. You can meet Maggie and her handsome cowboy, Dax, at books2read.com

Dax turned and looked at me, his head tilted and his eyes bright with the spark of an idea.
“I’m willing to bet that if you had never ridden in a truck, then you’ve probably never ridden a horse.”
“You would be correct. I sat on a camel once. Not sure if that counts. But no. I’ve never been on a horse.”
“Would you like to?”
“Um, sure?”
Dax laughed. “Was that a question or a statement? Because you didn’t sound sure.”
“It’s something I would like to be able to say I’ve done, but not necessarily something I’ve been dying to do.”
I watched him dress Fallon in her blanket and saddle, my body teetering between nausea and exhilaration.
“You sure you want to do this? You don’t look sure.”
I forced a smile and licked my lips, trying to get moisture to return to my mouth. “I want to do this.”
“Alright,” he said, with a slight shake of his head. “You ready?”
A nervous giggle escaped me and my hand went to my throat. “Oh, God. Yeah. I’m ready. Let’s do this!”
I took a step toward him, and my stomach lurched. I moved my hand to cover it and whispered, “Just breathe.”
He turned and raised an eyebrow. “Ever After? Drew Barrymore?”
I smiled and exhaled. “No, I really was just telling myself to breathe, but good call. Good movie.”
“Well, come on, Cinderella. Your noble steed awaits.”
