Meet the Carson's of Mustang Creek: three men who embody the West find love in these four fan-favorite stories - collected here in one volume for the first time - from New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller, queen of the Western romance!
Once a Rancher
Slater Carson might be a filmmaker by trade, but he's still a cowboy at heart-and he knows the value of a hard day's work under the hot Wyoming sun. So when he sees troubled teen Ryder heading down a dangerous path, he offers the boy a job on the ranch he shares with his two younger brothers. And since Ryder's guardian is the gorgeous new Mustang Creek resort manager, Grace Emery, Slater figures it can't hurt to keep a closer eye on her, as well... But Grace Emery doesn't have time for romance. When an unexpected threat emerges, she'll discover just how far Slater will go to protect what matters most-and that love is always worth fighting for.
