Her Rodeo Cowboy by Debra Clopton Everything Montana Brown thought she knew about love and marriage is upended when her parents split up. Shaken, she heads to Mule Hollow, Texas, to take a chance on an old dream: being a cowgirl. Handsome cowboy Luke Holden is going after his own dream of expanding his ranch. But the Mule Hollow matchmakers are fixin’ to lasso Luke and Montana together—with a little faith and love. The Rancher’s Answered Prayer by Arlene James According to the will, single mom Tina Kemp’s stepfather left her his house, but his nephew, Wyatt Smith, inherited the ranch—including the land the house stands upon. With neither willing to give up their legacy, they must find a way to make it work. Can these adversaries possibly share a home…without falling for each other?

All it takes is eight seconds . . . Cam O'Mara, grandson and younger brother of bull-riding champions, is not interested in partaking in the family sport. Cam is a skateboarder, and perfecting his tricks—frontside flips, 360s—means everything until his older brother, Ben, comes home from Iraq, paralyzed from a brain injury. What would make a skateboarder take a different kind of ride? And what would get him on a monstrosity of a bull named Ugly? If Cam can stay on for the requisite eight seconds, could the $15,000 prize bring hope and a future for his big brother?

He's Just The Hired Help… What kind of cockeyed Pollyanna is Colin Cade working for? Her porch is rotting, her "guest cabin" is cheerless and her land and livestock have only a geriatric cowboy to care for them. Yet Hannah Shaw is positive she can turn her ranch into a successful B and B—and that Colin's the man to make it happen. But Colin can't stick around. He lives with the loss of his family by avoiding the memories, and the way he feels around Hannah and her young son is like a knife to the heart. Trouble is, he's better at ignoring his own pain than someone else's, and bright, cheerful Hannah has a heart as haunted as his own. She deserves to be happy—but could she really be with him?

To the fan, the rodeo cowboy is the distinctly American embodiment of the romantic Old West. But to the young men who live the profession, the realities are modest pay, continuous travel, and the constant threat of injury. While he was the Denver bureau chief of the New York Times, Dirk Johnson spent a year on the professional rodeo circuit with cowboys, watching them try to hang on to bucking horses and Brahma bulls?and to wives and livelihoods that seemed only one fall away from disappearing. Biting the Dust covers the circuit?s biggest events in Denver, the capital of the New West, to small towns on the Great Plains like McCook, Nebraska, where rodeo continues to thrive even as the population shrinks. Johnson takes the reader beyond sentimental visions of the rodeo cowboy and the American West and provides an unforgettable and authentic story of the rodeo today.

When a smalltown girl meets a handsome rodeo star, they find a love as big as the Montana sky in this charming and wholesome Western romance. As the small town of Jasper Gulch, Montana, gears up for its centennial celebrations, Julie Shaw is up to her ears in parade planning. As the mayor’s daughter, she wants her hometown’s big festival to go off without a hitch. Surely that’s why she’s feeling so flustered. It couldn’t have anything to do with visiting rodeo star Ryan Travers . . . Of course she’d noticed the good-looking cowboy with the sparkle in his eye. But Julie is way too sensible to fall for his obvious appeal. As the town gossips about a century-old mystery, Julie’s thoughts keep drifting back to Ryan. Despite her father’s objections, she may soon find herself roped in . . . by love.

Battered and a bit disillusioned by life, Will and Anne return to the Silver Rose to repay old debts and fall in love again. But only for the summer. Or, maybe...for a lifetime.
