Harrison Hyde and the Runaway Bride (The Texas Brand: Generations, #1)

Maria Michelle Brand Monroe
She’s a newly licensed vet, and will take over her mom’s clinic in their dusty, Southwest Texas town. She’s getting married, too. Her perfectly planned-out life is finally underway!

Then, on the morning of her wedding, she learns something about her groom that hits her plans like a freight train.

Harrison Hyde
He’s a scientist whose life’s work is done… and he has no idea what comes next. His solitary drive across Southwest Texas to a demonstration of his ultra-efficient solar tile will give him time to think about what he wants.

Whatever it is, it’ll be back east, where his family is, where he’d grown up, and where his mother is buried. A year ago, he’d promised his dying mom he would keep the family together. And it isn’t going well.

The Meet
When Harrison stops to stretch his legs on a trail, a redhead in a tattered wedding dress runs right into him, knocking him flat, and demanding a ride out of town.

Over the next 24 hours, Harrison is beaten up, his car is stolen, and his prototype with it. But Maria’s huge and thoroughly Texan family takes him in, determined to help.

Maria realizes in short order that the good ol’ boy she’d been about to marry was all wrong for her. She’s fallen hard for a handsome nerd who doesn’t even wear cowboy boots.

Harrison’s life and his promise are back east.
But his heart’s attached to a runaway bride in Quinn, Texas
