Paxton doesn't really believe he's meant for love…until he rescues the slight, lovely woman with sea-green eyes on a cold, windy beach.Remi Roberts can't trust a charming lady-killer cowboy like Paxton—especially since he's a Rebel, a family she’s been taught to distrust. She needs to concentrate on recovering from her accident, which is the only thing standing in the way of her adopting the baby girl she adores. Besides, fairy tales don't exist and bad boys definitely don't change. Only, this cowboy is determined to prove her wrong…

Cast of Characters (#u1c879a5e-28ab-5caa-8ba7-cfa7004f5372)
Kate Rebel: Matriarch of the Rebel family.
Falcon: The eldest son—the strong one. Reunited with his wife, Leah, and proud father of Eden and John.
Egan: The loner. Married to Rachel Hollister, daughter of the man who put him in jail.
Quincy: The peacemaker. Married to Jenny Walker, his childhood best friend.
Elias: The fighter. Falls in love with the daughter of his family’s archenemy.
Paxton: The lover. Never met a woman he couldn’t have, but the woman he wants doesn’t want him.
Jude: The serious, responsible one. Back together with his first love, Paige Wheeler, and raising their son, Zane.
Phoenix: The youngest Rebel challenges his own family when he falls in love with the enemy—Rosemary McCray.
Abraham (Abe) Rebel: Paternal grandfather.
Jericho Johnson: Egan’s friend from prison.
Dear Reader (#u1c879a5e-28ab-5caa-8ba7-cfa7004f5372),
Texas Rebels: Paxton is the sixth book in the Texas Rebels series. The series is about seven brothers who deal with their father’s death in different ways.
I apologize for the delay of Paxton’s story. Life got in the way of finishing this book. In the spring I had to have unexpected neck surgery and there were complications that required a long hospital stay. I am now back to writing and so happy to have finally finished this book. Thank you for your patience and support!
There are two Canada geese, Henry and Henny, in this story. My husband and I live on a lake in Central Texas and these geese live in our backyard. A bobcat stalks them at night, and he finally got Henny and broke her wing. I wondered when the geese flew away in the winter if Henry would leave his Henny behind. I wanted to see if it was true they mate for life. I watched and watched and was delighted when he stayed. He never leaves her except to fly around the lake in the early morning. A true love story, as is Paxton and Remi’s.
If you’ve read the other Rebels books, you know Paxton is accustomed to getting any beautiful woman he wants. Ironically, he falls for a woman who’s not ready to get involved with anyone. It took a few sleepless nights to pull these two characters together. But like the Canada geese, they’ll find a special love that will keep them together forever.
Until the next Rebel book, with love and thanks,
Linda
