The Cowboy’s Little Surprise by Barbara White Daille
Genre: Contemporary romance
Book heat level: PG13Farewell but not goodbye…
I’ve been thrilled to be a regular visitor to Romance Lives Forever as a reader and as an author. This visit is both special and especially bittersweet as we’re all saying farewell to RLF. Kayelle, thank you for providing this resource for romance story lovers for so many years. The blog will be missed. However, I’m looking forward to hearing about exciting things happening in your future.
Readers, thank you for reading my posts and commenting and/or contacting me directly and for your support of my books.
For my final visit here, I’m circling back to the first book in The Hitching Post Hotel series, The Cowboy’s Little Surprise. No pun intended, but it’s also a happy surprise—and a fitting farewell—that this book was my first Cover Love shared at RLF.
Happy reading, always!
The Long Way Home
A guy like Cole Slater is hard to forget. Tina Sanchez should know—for years since high school she’s tried to bury the pain of Cole’s cruel betrayal. But it’s impossible to ignore the man she sees reflected in her young son’s eyes now that Cole is back in her life—and about to meet the child he never knew he had.
Returning home to New Mexico, Cole is determined to put his playboy reputation to rest. Especially now that he knows there’s a little boy looking up to him. And seeing Tina again reignites all the feelings Cole ran from as a teen. Despite his fear that he can’t be the man Tina deserves, he’s determined to try. For his son’s sake—and his own.

This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
the story.About the Author
Barbara White Daille lives with her
husband in the sunny U.S. Southwest, where they don’t mind the lizards in their

novelist since eighth grade, Barbara is now an award-winning author with a number
of novels to her credit.The first book in The Hitching Post
Hotel series, The Cowboy’s Little Surprise, was just released (April 2015) and will
be followed by A Rancher of Her Own in July and an as-yet-untitled book in December.Interview with Barbara White Daille
Why did you write this book?I loved the idea of a matchmaking grandpa
and was so happy that my editors liked it, too! That was how the new series was
conceived. As for this first book, The Cowboy’s Little Surprise, one of my favorite
romance plotlines is the second-chance story, where the hero and heroine have had
a past relationship that didn’t work out and are now brought together under less
than the best of circumstances.A subcategory of second chances is the
secret-baby story, in which the past relationship results in the heroine becoming
pregnant by the hero, who never learns until the current story that he’s become
a daddy. When I wanted a hero and heroine for the grandfather’s first matchmaking
scheme, the secret-baby story just seemed like a natural.What is your favorite genre to read?Romance!Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including
your own)?This is a tough question as there’s
such a long list to choose from. So…I think I’ll regress a bit and pick someone
from my favorite childhood books—Nancy Drew. She solved so many fascinating mysteries
and, later in the series, traveled to so many wonderful places with her friends.
And she was smart at figuring out clues. I always wanted to be her when I grew up.What are you working on at the moment, and what will we see
from you in coming months?I’m currently working on revisions for
book 3 in the Hitching Post Hotel series. It has no title yet but will be out in
December 2015. This is the story of Jed Garland’s middle granddaughter and the one
he’s almost certain is going to spoil his matchmaking record.Andi was recently widowed and left with
two small children. Mitch is an L.A. cop recovering from an undercover op gone bad.
He returns to his hometown of Cowboy Creek to recuperate, and there he finds his
teenaged crush back again, too. He wants nothing to do with the girl who walked
off and broke his heart one summer…but of course, our matchmaking grandpa doesn’t
intend to let that stop him!Please tell us about your latest book.The Cowboy’s Little Surprise is book
1 in the Hitching Post Hotel series.The Long Way HomeA guy like Cole Slater is hard to forget.

and an as-yet-untitled book in December.When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose?Romance, romantic suspense, mystery. Sometimes YA. Whatever it
is, I like something with a romantic relationship in it.What’s your favorite down-home
family style meal?Pot roast with carrots, potatoes, onions, and brown gravy, with
plenty of everything for leftovers. Yum!What is your go-to meal
when you dine out?Really, Alaskan King crab legs, but since they’re pricey, I only
do that if we’re celebrating something special. On a regular night out, anything
Italian—lasagna, baked ziti, stuffed shells. A salad on the side. A full bread basket
with warm olive oil and herbs. My only regret is most Italian restaurants don’t
serve brownies or chocolate cake!Describe the perfect vacation.A condo near a beach, where we could take long walks at night,
view the stars and listen to the surf. Nearby, there would have to be good restaurants,
an ice cream parlor, and a shop that sold decadent chocolate desserts. And of course,
I’d have to have access to many quiet, comfortable spots where I could curl up with
a book.Tell us about your favorite
toy as a child.My favorite toy was a book. I don’t mean to “cheat,”
but I wasn’t into much of anything else. I spent all my free time reading—and wish
I could still do that now. A book was always at the top of my list when anyone asked
what I wanted for my birthday or Christmas, and I loved loved LOVED getting the
next Bobbsey Twins or Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden in the series.About the Book
