Cowboy Up (Coming Home #3)

Clayton Davis looks from his two daughters over to his son, wrapping his arms a little tighter around his wife, knowing that without her, he wouldn’t have this wonderful life. Glancing over his wife’s head, Clayton takes a second to appreciate the same contentment-induced happiness on his brother’s face.

Maverick, not having missed the attention of his brother, turns to meets his gaze. Gone are the hard lines and stoic disposition. His wife made it impossible for him to keep his old flinty edge throughout the years. But it was with the birth of each of his children that whatever pain he had left inside of him vanished. With a year separating each of his four daughters, something inside of him changed forever, but it was when his son was placed in his arms that Maverick Davis finally found out what it was like to have the world. There are days when he wakes, the house still silent, and he’s slammed with just how lucky he truly is. His heart swelling, his wife pressed tight to his side, and his house full of the children his wife blessed him with. Seeing what he feels on those days in his older brother’s gaze, he smiles even wider.

Both the Davis boys look to their left and down at their baby sister tucked tight to her husband’s side. Her youngest son leans into his mother with his hand wrapped around her belt loop and her hand rubbing his raven-black hair. It was a long road for Quinn Montgomery and her husband to have the last of their four boys. She struggled through two miscarriages but never gave up, knowing that they weren’t whole. It was during those days that Quinn got quiet and her smiles came less and less. When her husband delivered their last baby almost six years ago, she changed. Holding their miracle in her arms, Quinn had laughed so loud that her family heard her outside of her birthing room, her laughter sparking something in each of them that well and truly made them realize how far they had all come.

And that’s how Clayton and Caroline, Maverick and Leighton, and Quinn and Tate . . . came home.
