A Wedding in Wyoming

Johnny slid into the spot next to her on the sofa, slipping his arm around her shoulder.

“Relax,” he whispered close to her ear. “I’m doing you a favor.”

Jenn’s mind scrambled for an answer to his riddle, but to save her life she couldn’t put two thoughts together rationally as her family returned to the room.

“Thanks, folks,” Johnny said, addressing them. “It was nice to have a few minutes alone with Jenn to get reacquainted with this lovely lady.”

His arm tightened around her shoulder for just a moment. She didn’t know if the gesture was meant for the family’s benefit or if he was sending her some kind of unspoken message.

Maybe both.

Because she was sure, now, what he was doing.

He was playing her game.

DEB KASTNER

lives and writes in colorful Colorado with the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains for inspiration. She loves writing for the Steeple Hill Love Inspired line, where she can write about her two favorite things—faith and love. Her characters range from upbeat and humorous to (her favorite) dark and brooding heroes. Her plots fall anywhere between, from a playful romp to the deeply emotional.

Two of Deb’s books have been nominated for an RT Book Reviews Reviewer’s Award for Best Book of the Year for Steeple Hill.

Deb and her husband share their home with their two youngest daughters. Deb is thrilled about the newest member of the family—her first granddaughter, Isabella. What fun to be a granny!

Deb loves to hear from her readers. You can contact her by e-mail at DEBWRTR@aol.com, or on her MySpace or Facebook pages.

But he was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities:

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed.

—Isaiah 53:5

To my former manager Kristie Parks at Hallmark,

and all the ladies, for making my time working

there so special. I told you I would!

To my editor, Emily Rodmell, for her patience and

direction in bringing me back up to speed in my

career with this book.

And most of all, to my family—my husband, Joe,

my daughter Annie and her husband, Max,

and my daughters Kimberly and Katie. You

have pulled with me through the rough times

and laughed with me through our joy. May God

continue to bless each and every one of you with

His mercy, grace and love.

Much excitement and love to the little new

bobbit in the DePriest/Kastner family, my first

granddaughter, Isabella! And no—I’m not old

enough to be a Granny!
