The Handsomest Man in the Country (10 page)

It had been over a month since he’d asked me if I wanted to continue on. At the time, I figured he meant to continue west, joining a wagon train and finishing the journey. Now I wondered if that was what he’d meant.

I give it lots of thought, and finally said, “Trey, we’re married. And I sure would like a passel of kids with you.”

At that, his face just lit up, transformed with love. As he reached out to me, I realized something I’d been too blind to notice.

I’d married the handsomest man in the country.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nancy Radke has always invented stories in her mind, even "watching" stories in her dreams where she could control the characters and outcomes. She has turned this talent into writing traditional romances and romantic suspense, with plenty of plot twists. Born on a wheat and cattle ranch, she still surrounds herself with animals and plants. Her family lives close by, so she enjoys her grandchildren's sports and other accomplishments.

Lately she has been working on the
"Show & Tell Bible,"
a children's picture Bible on DVD that she wrote with her daughter. While waiting for the artists to finish drawing the thousands of pictures needed, she plans to write more romances, which help fund the Bible project.
The Traherns,
a
series of historical short stories, starts with
“The Handsomest Man in the Country.”
