Timeless Western Collection

A cowboy, his horse, and a ranch in Big Sky, Montana. What more could a woman want?Three contemporary western romances in this collection:The Cowboy's Catch by Kimberly KreyWhen Jason Keller bids on a date with Marlee at the town's annual fundraising event, she's quick to turn him down. First of all, an evening with Marlee was never on the table; just dates with each of her younger sisters. Beyond that, Jason Keller-a man with Hollywood ties-is the last cowboy in town she'd go on a date with. Being abandoned because of her own mother's Hollywood pursuits taught her well. But when the Keller Cowboy offers a hefty sum for the charities in question, in front of half the town no less, Marlee's compelled to accept. It's just one date after all, and it's not like she'd ever fall for a man like him. Or so she thinks.Selling Her Ranch, Stealing His Heart by Annette LyonTeresa adores her job as manager of the J-Bar-D Ranch, which boards horses and offers riding lessons. The owner, Dorothy, has become like a grandmother to Teresa. But when Dorothy passes away unexpectedly, the ranch is put up for sale by none other than Dorothy's only grandson, Derek. Even with the obvious chemistry between them, Teresa refuses to consider dating the guy who's going to turn her beloved ranch into a strip mall. Derek wishes more than anything that he didn't have to sell, but Grandma Dorothy ran the ranch into deep debt, and Derek's own mother has ongoing medical bills. Without selling the ranch, he can't pay off the debts or take care of his mother. If only he'd met Teresa had met at in a different time and place, they might have a future.The Cowboy's Second Go by Cindy Roland AndersonWhen recently divorced Callie Stewart, an aspiring country music artist, confronts the dishonest talent agent who stole her new song, he turns the tables on her, and her world spins out of control.

MooreViola Delany is not happy about being sent to the middle-of-nowhere, small town Wyoming. Yes, it will be good to let the gossips find something else to talk about other than her failed engagement. And yes, it will be nice to spend the summer with her Aunt Beth. But as Viola sits on the train heading for Wyoming, wondering how she'll ever occupy her time in such a small town, none other than a real life cowboy sits across the way. She can't help but take peeks at him, noting that the condition of his unpolished black boots and scuffed rawhide jacket seem to be authentic . . . All right, so he might be tall, dark-haired, and handsome if a woman doesn't mind green eyes and a dangerous-looking scar, but this man certainly has nothing to do with her. Besides she'll never see him again. What are the chances he's traveling to the same middle-of-nowhere small town?TIMELESS WESTERN COLLECTIONS:Calico BallBig SkyMercer's BellesA Wyoming Summer
