Coming Home by Linda Lael Miller

From the #1 bestseller of Western romance comes a beautiful short story full of vibrant characters who are guaranteed to touch your heart…

When Cassidy McCullough gets off the bus in Busted Spur, Arizona, it’s with a certain amount of trepidation. After living for years in Seattle, coming home to the slow pace and rural beauty of her hometown is a bit of a shock to the system. But not as big a shock, it turns out, as it is to see G.W. Benton again, and realizing her attraction to him hasn’t gone anywhere while she’s been gone. This is terribly inconvenient…after all, Cassidy’s made the long trip home under the guise of needing advice on her big-city wedding plans, but in reality hoping her best friend can calm her doubts about her fiancé—definitely not to resurrect the lifelong crush on the cowboy she’s tried hard to forget. But something about the sunlight, the sweetness of the air and being back amongst the ones she loves most has Cassidy seeing more clearly than she has in a long time, and wondering if it’s time she stopped denying the truth in her heart.
